My brothers father in law is a retired LEO, has his fathers Colt Cobra in nickel finish that his father carried as a detective. The nickel finish is starting to flake off and he would like to have it refinished. Anyone have any experience with a reputable operation to send this off to?

Excellent suggestion..... Damned Dogfish 120's snuck up on me this afternoon while we were talking about it (and I subsequently posting...)

Accurate Plating and Weaponry has put a hard chrome finish on two of my guns and I have been very happy with the finish and wearability. MUCH better than the old nickel plating.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

I'd inquire if the Colt Firearms Company would do the work.

Hard chrome is not as thick as nickel and is not a good alternative for a nickel finish.
