Picked up a 5.5" redhawk yesterday for a song, it is showing a bit of use, I'm wondering if any one has a pic of a redhawk or gp 100 that has gotten the mothers treatment, there's a lot of "big flats"on these guns and I think they would look great all polished up, here's a before photo
looking for photos of polished rugers

Well it's not a Redhawk or Gp100 but here's a Vaquero I did some Flitz work on.

I've seen Rugers that looked almost nickel plated after polishing, and the factory has made occasional runs of a few models.
If one poster above spent just an hour to get that finish with Mother's Mag, it must poilish a LOT faster than I'm getting scratches off of knife blades with Simichrome.
I like my Rugers just fine with the factory stainless polish, but sometimes think I might buy a used one and shine it up to a semi gloss.
I think you'll like that Redhawk, although it's bigger and heavier than a Smith M-629. Should give great comfort if you hike trails where a bear or a big wild pig might be an issue.
Let us know how it shoots.

Here's a Speed Six that had a little Mother's applied.
I like the look.

Time to get the polish out...
That looks pretty clean just the way it is, throw up a pic when your done
Here is my wife's .38 Special Police Service-Six after a good going over with Flitz and Mothers. The grips are old Jay Scott zebra wood which I completely re-contoured to actually fit a human hand. They are super comfortable now.

That looks great, I need a set of stocks for mine

I guess I will get out the Mothers and put a little sparkle to my SP101 .22 8 shot I purchased last year.
Thanks guys, I'll be watching the Boston Bruins
at 3 PM and will be polishing away.

If I have that much time to polish a gun, I'm visiting a porn site.
