hard chrome is always an option

Interesting when you bead blast hard chrome. It sparks. No idea why. Buddy had a barrel that was chipping off and wanted it cerokoted. Had to blast to prep.

Rosewood - not stepping in anything everyone has preferences! I just don't see how stainless is easier to maintain though. Then again, I am not a meticulous gun cleaner. My idea of cleaning is to knock enough crud off to keep them running. I don't deep clean or disassemble revolvers to clean. After an extensive shooting session, with my blued guns, cleaning them takes 5 minutes. It won't pass white glove inspection for sure, but it will work

Please explain what you mean by blued is too much work?

I was grateful for the big sights on my issued Model 15 when I had to make a surgical shot to save a hostage in the early '80s. It was a Saturday afternoon and I was slated to begin a new assignment in Internal Affairs on Monday morning. Obviously things were put on hold for several months while I waited for the prosecutor to review the circumstances and clear me.

Those Target stocks are beautiful! Who made them?

Thanks
S&W smooth presentation stocks I bought here from Randy, Fleabus101, and then reshaped and checkered to have the feel of 'Cokes" by Curt Harlow. He did a great job on them.
They came out great.
