I was resisting the urge to have my instructor's Detective Special reblued but after some range time it was slightly out of time and there were many light hammer strikes.I also noted 3 areas of rust forming under the grips so the rebluing decision became a moot point.It is now "Python Blue" and the gun was brought back to original operating condition.Thanks to all of you I was introduced to Mr Executioner's artistry and he is making a set of grips with free reign as to material and design.It should be back to my friend's gun shop by Friday and the grips not long to follow.Pics will be soon to follow......God Bless....Mike
