i have found both finishes to be a lot more fragile than blue on older guns. If you use Hoppes #9 on either one it will damage the finish.


I picked up a 38-2 in electroless nickle as a carry gun. It lives in a pocket holster during the summer months. 3 years later its still going strong.

Another solution would be to pick up and finish challenged gun and have it coated with Black T.
