Black & Decker Mouse detail sander in constant motion with 180 grit finished by automotive wet/dry 600 grit hand sanded. In case anyone is wondering, I left the front sight in to polish the sides on purpose to match the stainless barrel from a side view as an experiment as I usually have the Mepros on. I still need to do some minor detailing of the barrel nearest the frame.

But man, is it a wholesale improvement or what?
 
Your Ruger looks Beautiful. I love that look.
Can you tell me what make grips are on the gun? Really good looking.
You gotta have big balls to take a Black & Decker to your gun!

The grips are Hogue Monogrip Top Finger Groove only in Pau Ferro.

It didn't take anything but attention to detail to take the Mouse to my revolver. It took cojones grandes to take a Dremel to this project as DHart did on his 3" GP-100. The Mouse isn't fast enough to be aggressive enough to damage the stainless steel like a Dremel could. What would have taken a few minutes with a Dremel took nearly an hour with the Mouse.
 
I hear you. I have the full Dremel rig with a flexible head attachment for precise control and I set up the Ruger for it last week. Then I got cold feet. I have plenty of practice with the Dremel deburring 1911 frames and parts, using it to mirror polish chambers and even the internals of this Ruger and what not, but I figured taking a drum sander to a barrel curve was a new ballgame.

So I went with the better part of valor and chickened out to the Mouse. I am still very pleased with the result, which my obsolete digital camera and my pathetic photography skills can't do justice to.
