I have a s&w 686 that i would like to have professionally polished anyone with recommendations ( yes i know about mother’s flitz ect) Thanks Forum

SDM Fabricating in Medina did some work for me a few years ago on a 1911. He quit working on 1911's a while ago and was only working on Smith revolvers.

He did a good job for me and built a lot of race guns.

SDM is no longer accepting any new work.


I’ve been trying to find someone to do a pin and weld on an upper.

Still looking thanks

Wonder if forum member CCR does polishing. Contact Mary @ CCR and ask. They doe great finishing work and light gun smith work and are also dependable with reasonable wait times.

Adco in Sylvania does pin and welds Chowser. They do other gunsmithing too and might do a polish job.

Sorry I did not see this sooner. If you still need someone, here are three:

The Holland Company, Madison, OH , 440-298-1510. Dennis apprenticed at his family's gunshop in London, England, before going to Vietnam.

Viktor's Legacy, Fairport Harbor, OH, 440-352-4867
