Kahr nickel finish

[Romadoc]

I have a Kahr K9 with the original nickel finish. Is this as durable as the stainless model which I also have for a daily carry?

Welcome to Kahr Talk! I've never seen a nickel K9, I'd love to see pictures!

I'm not sure that unicorn exists. Easy mistake to make though.

Nickel is one of the hardest finishes known. It should last centuries without problem. Just keep it clean. Nickel models are rare. Keep it in good shape for investment purposes.

Nickel is not nearly as hard as a hard chrome finish. It may be harder than the stainless guns, but cannot be repaired as easily as the stainless.
