I would think quite expensive as the nickle is a coating that would add thickness to parts and effect things like cyclinder clearance etc.

Check out Robar gun coatings.  They do nickelplate or the silver robar look.  There is a price sheet on the website .   robarguns.com

Might I suggest pearl grips when you get it done. Also, get rid of the holster and place it in the front of your pants.  :chuckle:

Will having it plated affect you ability to add sights to the side of the slide?

Will the nickel plating match any good size link chain or will you have to special order that too?

I can have the barrel turned 90 degrees and re-pinned

When ordering the link chain don't forget to ask for your front teeth to get plated as well. :chuckle:

So sorry, I fogot you were working with a revolver. No self respecting gangsta is going to shoot a revolver anyway. Now, old old school like Capone maybe.

Looking at your sights is so stupid anyways. There is a reason why it is called "spray and pray."

I'm curious if your planning on investing in a good mountain vehicle?
