View attachment 807851 I've been wrestling with whether to touch up a Dept of Corrections model 10. I've read a ton of threads on cold blue and hot blue and heard the opinions pro and con. The gun is a good but inexpensive shooter with no collector value and not worth the cost of a hot blue job. I'd like to improve the looks of the cylinder (which looks like it was used for a puck) and the top of the strap that is bare steel from holster wear. The glare off the strap is very distracting when aiming in bright light. The Oxpho Blue creme from Brownells looks like what I need. I plan on using enough to improve the looks of the cylinder and reduce glare from the strap. Any reason not to remove a little "character" from this cylinder?
After Oxpho Blue it's definitely improved the appearance.
