The stainless is the same material throughout, while the polished nickel is probably nickel on top of brass. There'll be a slight difference in sheen, and the nickel can eventually wear off to expose the yellow base metal underneath.

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.
