Parkerized 28-2
I picked this S&W model 28-2 up a couple of weeks ago.I always wanted to take a beat up revolver and parkerize it.Well,I found one and I kind of really really like it.It shoots amazingly accurate too.Does anyone else have any parkerized revolvers?

That's a great looking Model 28 and you did a great job on the finish.

My ugly duckling...
One that had spent too much time in a tackle box on Dad's boat:
Not "pretty", but I like it. It means business. Your 28 has that same demeanor.

Not bad, but if it were mine I would have had it hard chromed. Parkerizing doesn't hold up well, but HC sure does in spades.

mine is a matte, bead-blasted blue courtesy of a previous owner, as it spent quite a bit of time riding on someone's belt in another life. If I ever have it refinished I may park it, as the surface shows the marks of an aggressive sandblasting as evidenced by the faintness of the factory stamping on the sideplate.

How difficult is it? must the bluing be stripped off first?

Your M28 looks great, nice job! I like parkerized guns, never had any trouble with the finish holding up or with rust.
Her's my parkerized 586 L-Comp-

I HATE lock models, BUT that is an exception.

I have a parkerized Model 14 and a Model 10 HB. I picked them both up at a gun show. I always figured they were police turn-ins or some such. They look nice, but I always missed the beautiful blue I'm sure they were originally. I sent the Model 14 off for some work a year ago and the young guy at the gun shop remarked on how nice it looked. I guess it fits in with most guns nowadays.

Parkerizing is the easiest of all finishes (other than paint) to do properly. Yes all blue (and rust) must be removed, and that is typically done by abrasive blasting.

One of my favorite revolvers is my Model 10 heavy barrel I got for $225 at a gun show. I was able to get the price DOWN because it had been parkerized, even though that's part of the reason I wanted it. I really like the way it kind of resembles a Victory.

I bought a WWII S&W Victory, made in 1944, that the dealer had Parkerized over what was probably the gun's original oxide finish, which he said was really worn. He bought a set of reproduction smooth walnut stocks from somewhere and put them on. It looked like a brand new Victory Model.
Scout, that's great looking gun.
