Nice work! She's beautiful.

It looks great! How did you get from the first to the last picture?

It’s Kool to bring an old classic back to top shape like that. P&R Smith revolvers are good workhorses; I started collecting those when they were still cheap.

Did you blue it yourself?
I have a model 19 that I would like to have refinished. Blued. I wonder is S&W does that.

 

[1911whore]

I did blue it all the metal prep and bluing myself. Yes.

I'm a sucker for old school deep blueing.

That looks really nice. Any plans to case harden the trigger and hammer, to get that flame blue effect?
