Polish stainless steel revolver

[test drive]

Just picked up a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 in SS.
The SS is matt finish and has that “ dull “ look.
Anybody ever tried to polish this type of finish by hand ?

Yes. Mothers wheel polish will work on a brushed matte and make it shine.

Not much to add here

I was excited 'cuz I thought this was gonna be a thread about new stainless revolvers from Poland........

Lol ! Thanks everyone. Have a great Labor Day weekend.

Didn't know the Poles made a Stainless steel revolver.

Count me in as someone expecting something from Radom... was figuring on something old and obscure.

I have an old CA Undercover in that "satin" SS finish, and also a Taurus 94 in it. I do like the polished SS finishes better, though.

I was expecting Polish revolvers too.

So... there are no Polish revolvers?

I found that Mother's Mag Polish works great but may take several applications to get the really shiny look.

Same here.
Both of these have been hand polished with Mother’s Mag Polish, but it took probably 4 or 5 sessions to get them to this point.

I was looking forward to seeing a Polish revolver.

 

[Tallball]

Me too. I genuinely expected to see a revolver from Poland.

 

[Lyle Wyatt]

Same here. I was hoping to see that the Radom Weapons Factory was tooled up and making a Polish copy of the Python.

 

[ArchAngelCD]

I agree, Mother's Mag works very well. Additionally Flitz does a great job too. Both are your top choices for making stainless very shinny and new looking and both can be found at Wal-Mart.

The finish is matte for a reason. so there is no light reflection. But by all means if you want a "bling" finish.

You can use wet dry paper and or 3M pads and then polish with the Mothers or Flitz.

I figured a Polish revolver would have the barrel pointing back towards the shooter!

That's only on the target model. Field guns have a bore size 2X larger than bullet.

Maybe...Or it could be matte because it cost more to polish one out.

Didn't know the Poles made a Stainless steel revolver.

The only ones I was aware of were Mosin-Nagants which are uncommon. I believe the number produced was <20000 units. After world war and communist collections after the war there are few left out there to be had.

 

[entropy]

Perhaps you mean the wz.30 Polish variant of the Nagant M1895? I highly doubt they were stainless steel.

 

[Palolosj]

Those were not stainless. Most fell victim to war or Communist collections of weapons after it.

High Road, guys, High Road.

Just a little harmless humor. Here, I’ll throw one at myself.

“What’s the difference between an Irish wake and an Irish wedding?”

“One less drunk”

 

[jaguarxk120]

Getting back to the original question, after the surface is polished, use
Simichrome polish for a final. It will make the surface look like chrome.
