I've noticed that a nice shiny nickel S&W revolver is lacking from my collection. I love S&W revolvers, and the nickel plating on the old guns is a work of art. But, I believe in functional art so anything I own is going to get carried and shot on a regular basis.
For those of you that carry nickel-plated guns (specifically bright and shiny nickel, not so much the matte finish), how have they held up? I'm not interested in hearing about hard chrome or SS finishes as my question relates to a specific finish and not alternatives.
Do they still look good after several years, provided they don't come in contact with any evil solvents?
