I'm not sure whether to ask this question in Revolvers or Gunsmithing, so I'll post it here in Revolvers and put a link to it in Gunsmithing.
I've just bought a S&W 646 in .40 S&W caliber. Lovely gun, and nicely balanced. I'm planning on carrying it as part of my CCW rotation. Thanks to Marko Kloos for the picture of his 646 below:
I would prefer a bead-blasted matte finish to the bright stainless finish. However, the cylinder isn't stainless steel, but titanium, in a greyish color. Is it safe to bead-blast the cylinder also, or should this be removed from the gun and the stainless steel bead-blasted on its own? Has anyone had any experience with this process?
