Post your Scandium/stainless Melonite finished 360J pictures here.

Alnamvet38: No wonder you did so much research on this item, which I read on a more recent 360J thread. This is truly "the gun that never was." I`would purchase one instantly, as I did with the 337 and 342 Ti's.

The 342 had an annoying finish that peeled off when I used Gunscrubber to flush the insides, otherwise, it is all I could want in a pocket job. No such finish on the 337.

Oh, and by the way, you really know guns.

Stay safe, partner.

Which thread... I must have missed it?

That Gunscrubber stuff can be harsh (and the fumes will kill ya!) on the sensitive finishes. BreakFree or Ballistol work best, and I've heard that FrogLube is quite good too.

The 360 is a very nice J-frame, and a lot less prevalent than other J offerings.

I have been watching this thread and not seeing many replies. Figured I would post a picture of mine. It's my first revolver and I couldn't be happier.
