I am looking for all the brands that make a high polished nickel/stainless steel 1911. here's an example. http://san1.atlanta.gbhinc.com/GB/094584000/94584200/pix1944762078.jpg |
looks kind of like the one in the GB link i posted... lookin good btw have EDIT: i found some threads about the rock island which led to some other sites...seems that people have pretty good luck with them...i might buy the shiny rock island since its .45. |
| I've seen those rock island guns in person and they aren't especially nice as far as chrome jobs go. I'm not so sure about the differences between chrome nickel plating and hard chrome plating, but I've heard that hard chrome is a more durable finish. Hard chrome usually seems a bit brighter than the nickel guns, so it's probably more of a matter of taste. The other problem with buying a 1911 in chrome is the refinishing issue that may come up if you decide to modify it. |
