Okay, they're beautiful. At first people think they've got a nickel finish, but then the mirror brightness can be seen as a really good polishing job. So how to do it is the first thing I'm considering and, like others, I'm thinking "Flitz." I'm also thinking of using a Dremel and a polishing wheel. That should put the polish on, okay, but now what about durability?
Wouldn't the gun pick up every ding and scratch imaginable? The finish is, after all, stainless steel, not hard chrome. If I did put a mirror finish on a piece, what would it look like in six months or a year? And is hard chroming and polishing a viable option?
If you have a polished revolver, please post here and feel free to show your photos. If you have any experiences, pro or con, also please post.
