    Question Umerex CP88 Nickel?

    New to the forum - first post!
    Is the Nickel actually plated (not some form of paint)? Is the finish more hard wearing than the black finish which I read can tend to flake off?

    The Nickel is plated and wears very well, it's worth keeping the Nickel guns lightly oiled as the cast metal underneath can still corrode otherwise,

    Nick, thanks for the quick response; just reserved the Nickel with my local specialist. I'm confident this will be an excellent (first) pistol :-)

    I now have the Nickel; the finish is really good - not as bright as I had feared.
