I will admit I am an eight shot addict and I want another 8 shot. However, i also cant stand the way stainless looks and I have no logical explanation for my distaste of stainless, (so dont ask me to explain it). So im thinking of picking up one of these 627 UDR deals off of gunboker and paying the $200 to have it melonite coated.
Is there any reason I shouldn't go for it?
Does anyone have some pics of revolvers that were stainless and now are melonite? Any difference than the factor finish on the night guard series?
If smith made an eight shot blued pc snub (that was cut for moons of course) I would buy it in a second.
Part of my motivation is my favorite 8 shot is my 327 PC snub pictured below and after all this forum talk of the scandium guns being weaker im a little worried. I only have a little over 2k rounds down the pipe and the gun looks and shoots perfect so maybe I shouldn't be concerned. However I mainly shoot my hot handloaded 38's out of it (6.4 gr unique with a 125gr RNL) so it should really last. I only put a thousand rounds or so down the pipe per year and very few of those are full house 357 mags. Should I be concerned or is this a non issue? Thanks in advance for helping a newer member out.
