Ed C. · Answer

Hi Tracy, this is made by Uberti.
Taylors Firearms is known for well-finished firearms. Uberti does their part, too. Uberti itself is in the mid-range of these imports.
The nickel provides a hard, protective surface that also looks good. It is shiny—more so than stainless—and has a smoky tinge to it that keeps it from being bright like chrome. The nickel feels slick and polished.
The nickel is accented well by nitre-blued small parts. The gem-like blue is like jewelry for the gun.
Stay safe & have a great day!
