Ramshooter Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I must be doing something wrong, surely this topic has been discussed but my searches have found nothing. I'm considering having my STI Tactical 5.0 refinished in either hard chrome or NiB-X (nickel boron). Your experiences will be appreciated, or direct me to the previous threads, or both. Thanks.

Aircooled6racer Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hello: Go for the hard chrome. It works great and looks great. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magoo Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I like the hard chrome. 70,000 rounds on a STI Edge. Almost as tight as when I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billm67 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 hard chrome looks great and has great self lubricating properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feederic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 After putting north of 40k rounds on a HC and NiB gun with a DOH kydex holster, IME they both have incredible wear properties. The only differences I have noted are: 1) HC has rusted on me - although lightly, it still rusted. 2) I don't need to oil my NiB gun, and it routinely goes 3-4k before clean and lube without a hiccup. I'm honestly suprised it isn't more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
