Picked up this Ruger P89 off of GB for $100 w/2mags a while back. It was BEAT cosmetically. Functioned just fine although I did put a new recoil spring into it. Donno where it was in service but they were rough on it.
I got bored and tore it all down and did a full restifacation on it.
I blasted the frame and slide with crushed glass. Then Brushed finished the machined parts of the slide. Left rest of slide in the matte finish and mirror polished the barrel and chamber. Polished all the other slide tidbits. I'll probably get some wood grips for it in the near future. I left mags alone because they function perfectly.
I powdercoated the frame with RAL's Cast iron powdercoat that I had left over from Powdercoating some Bullets. Didn't take too long to finish this project and the old workhorse looks a bunch better. I have $150 into it with purchase price, transfer and some other little stuff. I've ran the tar out of it since rehashing it.
It's a Sweet Big ol tank!
