Anyone ever had this done to their own gun?

What is your personal experience with this type of service?

I do like the nickel look on the gun slide....

I had WMD Guns NiB-X my Glock 17 slide a couple years ago. Seen quite a bit of use and still looks great. I am very happy with it. I only had them do the slide, not the barrel, etc.

Above is a picture of mine. It doesn't look quite like standard nickel, it has a tiny bit of a bronze tone to it. Hard to describe. It is a more matte finish. I really like it.

How much does the treatment cost!

Both my G23 and G19 have a Nib-X coating. I have a Sig 1911 that's completely done in Nib-X. All of them clean up very easily and all look better for the coating. The G19 needed broken in before it would function reliably, but now that it's done, I'm happy to have the coating on the guns. All of mine were bought new that way, so I cannot add anything regarding what it's like to have a gun done, but sooner or later I'll send my CZ 75B Compact off to be done. Someday.

$80 for slide only. $120 for slide and barrel. $150 for slide, barrel, and internals on a polymer gun. $210 for the complete pistol on a steel or aluminum gun. You can get the price list from the WMD link in the OP.

How long before you had your gun back in your hands?

In your opinion, if i bought a used glock do you believe it would still have same results as a new gun?

I honestly don't remember how long it took, it was a couple years ago. I seem to recall it only took 2-4 weeks. I'm sure you could call WMD and ask what the turnaround is. I owned and used my Glock for quite a while before having the slide done. I don't see why the results would be any different on a used gun. They will strip the parts to bare metal before coating, so it will be bare metal being treated just like it would at the factory.
