Hi, all,

While I wait some more for my little .32 Smith to get back from the shop I was lucky enough to pick up a 27-2 from the same store for 341.00 out-the-door. Boy did my eyes bug out when the clerk brought it out from the back room! Yes! Okay! Sure!

Two questions: What's the best way to remove shooting residue from nickel? This baby was put away dirty.

Also, I notice the windage adjustment seems stripped or something. I just bought it yesterday and haven't had a chance to do or try much yet. I'm hoping the problem is very simple. What's the first thing I should try?

I'd estimate the metal is in excellent condition. The gun has been magna-ported, however.

New grips just as soon as I can find them. Looking for factory grips.

I'm usually not one for rubber grips, although I'll admit that they tend to be a functional improvement. These Pachmayrs don't even seem to do that. They seem too narrow. Not very comfortable. I will replace soon.
