Thanks for the correction. I remembered that it was some kind of coating that flaked and wrongly thought it was nickel. The exposed backstrap on my old 337 was worn just about bare after two years of pocket carry. Since it predated the IL, I only lost 25 dollars depreciation when I traded it in though.
