Interesting.  Are you sure it was stainless?

My 1991 SIGARMS catalog says that various models are available in
blue, nickel, or K-Kote (a finish not unlike parkerizing.)  Nickel
plate sometimes looks a lot like stainless.  Nickel plate also
sometimes comes off or gets badly scratched, not unlike blue finish.

I'm sure that SIG's nickel finish is very high quality, but I haven't
seen it for myself yet.  I would have liked to get my P228 in nickel,
but was told that they weren't available just quite yet.  Besides
that, it adds almost $100 to the price of the weapon.
