did I get rip off?

I think you have yourself a mighty fine shooting iron there!

You got a really nice Model 19 and I guarantee you'll love shooting it. I have the stainless version of it and it is very fun.

No.....

Can I use penetration oil to lube the gun?

Howdy and it's nice you picked up a 19 for a good price.

No, the penetrating oil is for cleaning the rust or gunk only. Use lubricating oil to lube (commonly called 'gun oil'), which can have some compounds in it to prevent rust to preserve the gun also.

PS The clean up job looks very nice.

PPS The mod 19 being a medium duty 'K' frame isn't built to handle a lot of full magnum loads as in S&W's words it will cause 'premature wear' which means it will shake loose faster. If you want to shoot a lot of big .357 rounds, get an 'L' frame 586 or 686 or an even heavier 'N' frame. I prefer the stainless 686 because it's easier to keep clean with no bluing to worry about.

Savage, It looks like your revolver cleaned up really well. Lets see a picture from the side with the stocks on it. They look nice too.

Here pic with no flash. I'll upload more with stock on as soon as I'm finished with them

Side pic also. I made a mistake using 800grit and paper to take some rust off the gun me being new to this it left a faded silverish color now and looks unpleasing. Anybody know what I can do to get it back to how it was before?

Welcome to : Here , revolvers, and Smith&Wessons.

You just experienced a teaching moment in why everyone said to go slowly and gently in removing light rust.

For collecting purposes , a careful refinish of origional grips is called for. For shooting purposes you want stocks/ grips that fit YOUR hand , of material and construction pleasing to you. We're not you , so we can't give you a standard answer.

Since you mentioned this is your first handgun, you should seek instruction in basic marksmanship and safe handling. If you don't have a suitable knowledegable person in your family or close aquaintence , find a nearby NRA certified Instructor.

Nice job so far. Except for the sandpaper. No sandpaper EVER anywhere near a blued finish. Get some training to maximize your safety and enjoyment.

I'm stunned by the grammar and spelling used on most forums.At times,I think everyone must be a new immigrant...but I know that's not the case-quite the contrary. Please wash your hands ,everyone,after handling ammo.

That gun looks to be all aridgenal to me.

Is there a way I can restore the 'blue' I scratched off with sandpaper? Also sprayed CLP on the revolver I do have gun oil should I add a few drops or is just CLP is fine?

Go to Midway USA's Website and see if they have a "Cold Blue" kit.

I would call them as well. Keep your eyes on this post as some members may weigh in on this as well.
