Is gun metal magnetic?
The metal used in firearms range from various iron alloys (steel) to aluminum, and other alloys. Most guns, at the very least, usually have a ferromagnetic barrel (steel) for its strength. So most guns will have magnetic barrels. Lightweight guns with frames made of aluminum will NOT be magnetic. Although the frame would be close enough to the barrel for the barrel to attract a magnet THROUGH the aluminum.

How do you tell difference between nickel and stainless steel in handguns?
Stainless steel looks shiny. Nickel is duller and darker in color. Stainless looks like the kitchen sink. Nickel more closely matches, well, a nickel. In reality, it is hard to tell the difference. Highly polished nickel is extremely shiny, like a bathroom faucet. That is nickel. Nickels are not made out of nickel anymore anyway. It is too expensive. Nickels and other shiny coins are an aluminum alloy. The above answer is backwards at least with guns. If it is highly polished nickel, it will be very shiny. It it has a duller more bluish look, then it is stainless steel most likely. Take it to your gunsmith for a positive id.
