Pick a number... (Carnivale reference)

Love it! That color case-hardening is magnificent!

For me, it’s hard to deny the practicality and utility of the plastic-framed guns; it’s equally hard for me to deny the aesthetics and functionality of cold, hard steel, as well!

(Was going to post a nifty pic here, but my host site appears to be having some issues at the moment).

(Edited to add: probably operator-error ha - pic below…)

A trio of S&W Model 27s with factory, Keith Brown, and Bear Hug grips from top to bottom.

The photos do't do it justice.
It's like a drop of oil on a clam body of water.

I want a set of black horn grips for it now.
And I want to insert a medallion in the grips.
A celestial sun.

The blue on your revolvers is seductive!

Great Smiths.

Plastic

I know that plastic is cheaper to make and easier to maintain and more resistant to rusting . . . . . But Plastic Guns just Have no SOUL

You can not do this kind of finish to Plastic

I love the look of color case hardened steel, especially on firearms that it is not typically applied to.



Not just semi auto either. Smith & Wesson produced some not too many years ago







My biggest regret is that I was not able to afford one of each model that the Factory produced in this wonderful finish

Eventually I will stumble upon a used one or more

Not nearly as pretty, but is one of the revolvers I inherited from my late father:
