Polishing 1006

 Like the idea or not? Could spiffy it up some

I am not a fan of polished chrome or stainless.  I bead blast my stainless guns when they start to look dog eared.

I've got a 1076 that I've had for years. The previous owner had polished the slide. Doesn't make me any difference either way cause it's a grand old shooter. I think marks from normal use might show up more on a polished gun, maybe not. The guy that polished the slide on mine used a dremel tool, so it has "waves" in it. Not a good job. My gunsmith polishes a lot of stainless guns for folks and I must say, they are Beutiful. Think nickel plated.

Pictures?

I have $100 in vouchers I won at a place that does polishing.

Many think that it devalues the gun!  Yes they can look nice polished, but they just reflect more light! 
I am not a real fan of the S&W series being polished like mirrors. Sorry!

The slide on my 1066 is polished and I REALLY like the look. This is with her still a little dirty after the sight install and trip to the range yesterday>

They just don't have much in the looks department.

Ascension's photo shows up pretty good, I'm sitting here trying to get a pic but you can't see the difference that good. I had planned to bead blast it back to its former glory but haven't gotten to it yet. Mine isn't as bright as Ascensions.

  This is similar and I like it!

  Hmmm. Not bad but something is missing.



This is about perfect! How I would want mine to look. I'm thinking about contacting him to see what process he used. This is me

He responded to my questions. Old T-Shirt and Mothers is all he used plus lots of elbow grease.
