Dan Wesson "Duty Finish" is real nice, but the "Hot Salt" bluing on my Garrison is my favorite.
Man, I like that! Did you have that done, or was that some kind of factory option?Something that looks a little "used" and doesn't look like a safe queen.

Scotchbright?Man, I like that! Did you have that done, or was that some kind of factory option?
Actually it would be FDE.Stainless or hard chrome![]()
Plain, off-the-shelf sandpaper that is used for metal. Different grits and some elbow grease. Paying particular attention to the "detail" of long-term wear. Don't just grab some abrasive paper and go wild on it and mess it up. (And I really don't recommend a ScotchBrite pad - it leaves undesireable scratches). It's still a "work in progress" (and a work of art) and it's still brand new, (Springfield Armory Mil-Spec) never been fired. Deep-cupped beaver tail and bobbed hammer. I built it as a replica of the ones that I carried in the Navy for over 20 years. Standing watch, Shore Patrol, Pay Master, and the best of all, US Navy Honor Guard for official ceremonies.Man, I like that! Did you have that done, or was that some kind of factory option?
All stainless steel. Although not a finish it's the most durable. Scratches, nicks, dings and holster wear can be easily polished out. You can keep these guns looking new for a lifetime. You don't have to worry about rust from sweat or sweaty hands. Not only that I just love the look of highly polished stainless steel it's nicer than chrome.
Hey Arizona Desertman what do you use to polish your stainless

It will probably never be fired by me - the grandkids can do whatever they want with it when they get it. Here is a snippit of finishing it after the build.
I age my guns too.Well, you did a masterful job. Nice video too.
