Other then that it is very durable. In a simple version on how I clean my rifles. I just wipe it down, clean and oil the bore and I'm good. I don't have to worry about the exterior of the rifle that has been blacked iced.

That should prove that Nitride is tougher than Black Ice. Nitride is also on the inside of the bore, and tested with thousands of shots. It didn't wear off in the tests.
