I like nitride, preferably over SS like my Knight UltraLite ML. Have two that are Cerakoted, a Howa Alpine and a CZ O/U. That stuff is okay, but will wear off of contact areas and can be scratched, so I treat it like blued. Mostly, it’s for the color.
Legacy really futzed up when they decided to replace SS with Cerakote. Saw a nice SS Mini online the other day, but the dang thing was in OZ, not here. C’mon Legacy, you’re losing sales on this, no doubt about it.
