Pretty sure the 85 was only nickel with the black safeties, never stainless. The 75 comes in a stainless.
 
OK the one i’m looking at is a 85 combat. So only nickel. Can the nickel finish wear at the slide point ? Under the nickel, what kind of steel ?
 
SATIN NICKEL. This finish has been discontinued. I have one. You will notice the slight yellowish color compared to a natural matte stainless steel.
It will wear-out eventually as the slide rubs against the frame. This is why they should be lubed regularly. Likely, ordnance steel is used to make the frame.
