Bought A 4006TSW... Questions
I grabbed this CHP pistol from CDNN. Everything checks out except I want to improve the finish. Rifling looks sharp and possibly untouched. It just has holster wear...
So, my questions:
1) Are the black parts/pieces carbon or stainless steel?
2) How does S&W accomplish this matte finish? Do they use a particular blast media?
Thanks for helping! 😊

2) Glass Bead Media Testing on 5906 Frame
Mix glass beads and aluminum oxide to replicate finish, or buy them premixed - #4 Econo blend from Mcmaster-Carr

Any idea if the decocker, slide release, hammer (ie the black parts) are carbon or stainless steel?
The last few needed details...

Maybe the last huge S&W metal police trade in.

I mixed my own for the testing, but I believe BMCM used 3398K41. 3398K42 looks like it would be closer to what I ended up with my testing and is probably what I would go with, but either media should give you excellent results.

The hammer, trigger, sear, decocker lever are MIM. The decocker body, slide stop, rear sight are cast with a melonite finish
