Hey all,
First a little back story. I am going to be moving to a rougher part of the country here soon and I'm looking at getting a new pocket pistol. I have a number of larger ccw guns but thought a pocket pistol would be easiest to deal with. I am in the Air Force so I have to check in my pistols with Security Forces (military police). So now to my problem. I want a new colt mustang pocketlite, as I have always loved the way they look and function. My issue with them is that the frame is nickel plated. I can not touch nickel as my sweat destroys it within a few hours(turns black and eventually pits). So I need to find either some way around the nickel model or get a different gun (not a huge fan of the xsp polymer model and don't like the looks of the SIG p238).
I have seen a new cerakote'd mustang on gunbroker, but only that one, so I'm not sure if thats really an option. The sticker on the box from Colt had the same model number, but instead of nickel/stainless it read cerakote/stainless. So while that may be an option I have no way insuring that any pocketlite I order will be cerakote. Any ideas on how to get around my issue/find a cerakote model? Or should I just move on and get a different model?
Thanks,
Delta.
