Driving home to day I got to thinking about a thread on blueing vs parkerizing vs hard chrome vs whatever I read on another forum. That got me to wondering about the idea of Ti Nitriding. You know, that golden color seen on drill bits, milling cutters and some other tooling these days.
It's thin, it's harder than nails so it'll resist scratching by almost any source other than rubbing a diamond ring against it. So what's NOT to like... other than the rather bling'y gold look.
That Desert Eagle from a couple of years back, was it TiN or was it actually gold plated?
So what's your thoughts out there in THR land? Could you learn to live with/love a gold coloured gun if you knew it was only because it was coated with a hard and wear resistant coating that just happened to be gold in color? Or would the "pimp" connotation make you want to gag and puke? Or do you think you'd start out wanting to G&P and then get used to it and finally like it since it would be so tough and stay nice looking for so much longer?
