Is your PF9 factory chrome or did you have it nickel plated? I have read several postings on the KTOG about a guy who nickel plates and does a good job and was thinking of having mine done.
Responding to WestSider's posting...
Jack Fuselier is the guy you are talking about. He does nickel plating jobs for Kel-Tecs. He is on the KTOG forum. Also, Sprinter used to do CBN plating on Kel-Tecs as well, don't know if he still does or not. Everything I have read about plating jobs indicates that the plating qualities are CBN > HC > Nickel.
Actually mine is neither. It was a regular blued slide model that was done in Cera-Hide by Brad at CCR Refinishing. He did both the slide and barrel. The finish is fantastic, and he did for a really good price. The job took longer than expected, but it was worth it, it's 100x better than the blued finish.

As much as I like my PF-9 I'm thinking about selling it to fund some other "projects" I just got a Glock 19 and I think it is going to be fine to carry.
