I am in search of some nice wood grips suitable for ccw. It's a little harder with a square butt.

Yes, the prices are very reasonable. I appreciate that you know where you are in your journey, and have chosen what works for you. I have painted the front sight red, but do wish it had a white outline rear. Maybe I can change the blade. If you send it in, you won't be disappointed.

I don't know the exact process of the Metalife process, but I have only read positive things over many, many years. Ron is a very nice guy too, as well as his wife.

Firearm Plating -Mahovsky's Metalife Check his price list. You WILL be pleasantly surprised!

Last pic Beautiful, even if not original.

Pre pic of the damage.New finish is Metalife hard chrome. After this pic, I fired 75 rounds. No hint of a turn line. Very hard. And this was after I smoothed it out!

So about 6 mos. ago, I picked up a 15-3 snub from a co-worker, sight unseen. I offered 300, even though he said it was a mdl. 10. What he had was a very poorly stored revolver, no box, with some minor rust and pitting. The previous owner apparently decided he could remove some pitting on the...

Will most standard 4" holsters work with this, or would it be a special order? Any recommendations? Thanks.

No. Though I suspect I'm too late...

Smith=beautiful woman - Yeah, ok. Gonna hump that thang anytime soon? :) Smith=better firing mechanism (I thinks) - Huh? Smith=better cylinder release - I totally disagree. I have more S&W's than Rugers, but I can't fault them other than the heavier stock trigger.

Refinishing it in factory form just makes it refinished anyway, and it will never be as valuable if it were in original factory form, so just continue carrying it is my opinion.
