Welcome!!!!!

As so many said to me, " we deal in pics here" Sooooooooo, we need to see a pic of what you are dealing with. Yeah, I resisted, and then finally figured it out how to post them. " Weatherby( Paul) kind of shamed me into it, by offering to do it for me. I still do not have it all down, but I manage.

First let me say you bought the gun for all the right reasons. As time goes on, you will think of different reasons why you bought your 15th gun, that you did not really need.

Unless you have some finish issues, like imperfections in the finish I would not polish it out. 300.00 is half of your first 10-5, or 15-3 snubnose, or model 36 or 60. That would be gun #2. See the reasoning? You will not gain any value by sending it to the factory, and you would probably hurt value by doing it yourself.

As for the grips" finger groove", combats??

Grips, IMHO think Culina LLC for wood, but i am sure there will be a lot of helpful comments coming that will help you with your plight and help empty your wallet for you.

Again Welcome!
