    Deborah,

    Hello,

    Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. Well on to the finish. If it’s a Rock Island Armory then it is nickel. Colt varies a bit to get the bright finish by polishing stainless steel to a very high gloss. As far as I know at this time these are the only two companies making a nickel type finish. Enjoy! They are beautiful guns and the 38 super is a great round. Many companies are now making defense rounds with potent loadings in 38 super. It also has less recoil than the 45acp.

    Enjoy,
    Phil

    That’s a darn good choice. 38 super ammo is a little easier to get than 45acp or 9mm. It’s always been a bit higher but doesn’t seem to be affected as much as other calibers.
    The 38 Super is an easy recoiling very effective and accurate round.

    Congrats!
    Phil
