Now, that is a nice blue job that makes it like new.
May have to consider that the next time on one of my Smith's.

Home run! The 5" Ns look so right. And that looks positively righteous.
May it serve you well.

Some believe that
"Beauty is only skin deep...But ugly goes clean to the bone"....
Seriously thats a night and day difference and definately money well spent as now you wont lay in bed at night thinking about it.
May I ask does it show any signs of the previouse pitting when held to the light ?
Just like painting a car the hard part is in the prep work and your gun needed alot of prep work.
On a side note there was a post recently where a member refinished a Model 36 cylinder to remove some pitting and it came out nearly perfect
but again the prep work is the hardest part.

Nice job, you made the right choice!
Thanks for all the kind comments. I am very pleased with the way this turned out.
It's hard to believe looking at the before pictures but there was no serious pitting on the pistol prior to refinish and absolutely no evidence of anything after refinish. Here's a picture of the finished product with the stags and Tyler T Grip.
Great outcome SRG. A few years back I did this exact thing to a '67 M27-2 3.5" that was marked "Utah Highway Patrol". When I got it it had 10% finish left and mechanically non-functioning. After The S&W P.C. did their magic, both form (bright blue finish) and function, the old trooper is one of my top tier shooters and also a beauty queen.
We both had money well spent.
