What would be the best (form and function) finish (Hardchrome, Nickel or whatever) that someone could either have done or do it yourself, to your DW Revolver? Looking for different opinions and suggestions.  Thanks

I hear that hardchrome.. is extremely durable. I have yet to accept the other finishes as be-fitting a gun I own. I do not know of any finishes I would what that I could do on my own.
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box
in that order.

There are a lot of good hi-tech ceramic and polymer finishes on the market today such as Cerakote, DuraCoat, Gunkote, etc. as well as the traditional chrome, nickel, parkerize, blue, etc. If you're working wtih a stainless gun, I'd leave it stainless. If it's carbon steel, I'd be tempted to try a Cerakote.

Bright Nickel, not chrome. It's beautiful, and I love it, but once was enough for me. If I was having a gun refinished right now, I'd like to have the black matte/AGS/Yukon Kote.
I might like to play with Dura Cote sometime too, maybe if the right "beater" 15-2 4VH came along. I'm a couple of projects behind right now 
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I need to find myself a DW in nickel...just so I can see if I really like it or not.

I am still kicking myself for not putting that nickel 15-2 Pac on a credit card a couple months ago.
Although...hmmm...I don't think it ever sold, so maybe...!?! 
Still, I have to wait a bit longer before I go shaking that tree.

My Desert Eagle is hard chrome and I find it very durable.

Robar NP-3 is supposed to be very durable, it has a nice matte silver look. I had the slide on two different pistols done in SlickShot, with is another teflon type finish which looked pretty good and was vaey durable. It wiped clean with just a silicone cloth no matter how many rounds went thru it.
