While Black Nitride treatment certainly improves the bore surface, someone is feeding you crock of baloney with that claim. Black Nitride has much to recommend it, without resorting to such foolishness. I’m sold on it:

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]Only the slide was treated.

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]Barreled frame, cylinder, crane, side plate and thumb piece were treated.

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]Barrel, receiver, hammer, breechblock, lever, trigger and all screws were treated. I couldn’t tell for sure whether the 5 hits on the pictured target were 4 and 1 or 3 and 2 @ 50 yards.

Every day’s an adventure.
