What are the advantages and disadvantages of chrome lined barrels?

Thanks

If your lazy and do not like to clean your guns get a chrome one. I'd rather save the money to buy more mags & ammo. IMHO

The conventional wisdom says chrome lined are easier to clean, more corrosion resistant, and, if it has a chrome lined chamber, somewhat less prone to feeding and/or extraction problems.  On the other hand, they're more expensive and are said to be somewhat less accurate.

See the search button?  Click that, type in "chrome" and hit submit.

Have fun.

I think he'll see it pretty much mirrors the "blondes or brunnettes?" question....
To each his own...  
(though some of us chose BOTH!)

I felt the biggest selling point of a CL barrel was no break in period.
