Nickle only club
I have recently had my eyes opened to Nickel plated guns. They are uniquely beautiful, I used to think stainless was so much better in every way until I picked up my first nickel plated gun and now I am stuck on them and have my eye out for more they have a look and shine that is all their own.
So this is a thread for all you nickel plated gun owners to show off your nickel plated guns and the grips that compliment them, lets see how far we can take this thread.

 I'll jump in with some shiny stuff.
First up is a LNIB model 19-4 with all the goodies.
Showing both sides of my "Classic" model 40-1
Next is a sweet model 586.
Lastly, and one of my favorites, the model 25-5 in .45 LC.
Some real beauties in this thread so far! Bob

That will change though.

Two Model 19-2s from 1965 and 1969. Each has a very rare 5-inch barrel and nickel finish.

I'll add the one I just got. A 10-5 2". Shoots nice, so far. Only put 6 through it.
What kind of tips do you guys have for care of the nickel finish?

They are all beautiful, but the J-frames seems to stand out the most. I had a line on a pristine Nickel M36 last month, but a family emergency kept me from traveling to secure it.
But, family is okay, and there's no shortage of J-frames in the world - YET.

This is a Wolf & Klar 3rd Model 44 that I knew was refinished and I assumed it started out as blued but the letter says it shipped as nickel.
A simple 10-7 wearing simple ivory stocks.
A 15-4 that was a campus PD weapon for a Louisiana university wearing polished stag stocks that I made up.

A little gem from the mid-1930s I picked up earlier this week. Not my first nickel but my first S&W nickel. The other (no pic available) is an old High Standard .22LR round butt snubbie.

Nickel sure is nice to look at, but it's difficult to keep looking nice.
