I just got a nice model 10-8. it was an NYPD gun. Gun is in very good shape (guy couldn't have spent too much time on patrol. Maybe he became a detective early on and switched to a snub). I am considering sending it off to S&W for a re-blue. I know, the blueing loss adds character, but unless I put those marks on it, they hold no allure to me. Anyway, if I'm gonna shell out $300 with shipping, I want to be sure the gun stays nice. Will scrubbing with a nylon brush and Hoppes take the blueing off? I won't be carrying the gun, so holster wear is not an issue.
