Slicktop, who did that finish? I'm interested in getting something like that done to my 3" Model 65. Thanks.
Looks like glass bead blast.

Looks like glass bead to me, as well. That one looks fine. Personally, I like a bit finer grit better. You can get a finer finish with smaller media, or lower air pressure, or both together.
20 minutes in a bead blast cabinet will give you the same look.

Very nice choice Slicktop.
Bead Blast/Hot Blue Model 15-3
Recently bought a 15-3 that is not all original: Replacement grips and mediocre refinish on the cylinder. Has a few areas of minor pitting, barrel has plum bluing which may have been a factory finish.
Gun is a great shooter and extremely accurate. Since I plan to keep it forever, I would like it to look as great as it shoots. Local gunsmith with excellent reputation will bead blast and hot blue for $220 total.
Anyone done this? Pics? Suggestions? (Besides just shoot it.)

If you like that finish, you'll love the finish on $200-$300 Taurus revolvers.
Have it on an Novak Custom FN Hi Power that looks awesome.
