A mirror (e.g., first surface mirror) is provided with a layer of or including chromium nitride (CrN<SUB>x</SUB>). In certain example embodiments, the CrN<SUB>x </SUB>layer may be the primary reflective layer of the mirror. Surprisingly and unexpectedly, it has been found the addition of nitrogen to the chromium to form CrN<SUB>x </SUB>reduces pinhole formations in the resulting layer. In certain example embodiments, the more nitrogen which is introduced into the layer, the smaller the number and/or size of pinholes in the Cr inclusive layer. In certain example embodiments, it has also been found that the addition of nitrogen to Cr may improve durability.
