Big thanks to glazer1972!!! He allowed me to purchase a pistol that had been neglected (not glazer’s fault) Here is how it began… Now before the restored pics….I know this might make some cringe….the color and not using the original barrel. It will be used as a carry pistol when concealment is not a concern so I did not like the long barrel. Bought a snubbing replacement….stripped it and Gunkoted it in titanium gray. Proper salt bluing would have been too expensive for me so I went for functional.

Nice. My dad used to restore guns in the condition that one was in. He had all the equipment in his shop and the outside building had the salt blueing tanks. I wish I had his patience, he would walnut shell blast, then polish everything to a mirror finish before blueing them.

I like it with the short barrel better. Nice job.
