I had my Sig P239 slide chromed recently...it looks outstanding. As most Sig owners know, the aluminum rails pick up some pretty heavy gouging over time (mine has some surface gouging on both sides of the frame near the front). I e-mailed Metalife and they said they can hard chrome the frame, but first they will put a thin layer of nickel on it. Any opinions on doing this. I love my P239, and really want to make it indestructable. (All blunt opinions either for or against welcome).
