I am in posession of an old S&W Model 10, or M&P as it were... I believe it was made around 1948.
Anyway, it is a tight shooter with a smooth as silk action. A fun shooter to be sure.
The finish on the gun is all but worn off and in lieu of bright blue, we have a nice plum brown with a few "uneven" areas where half a century of honest holster wear should be expected. Carried much, shot little as the saying goes.
The question is, should I refinish this old piece? I would like to put a "modern" corrosion resistant finish on it so that I could worry less about rust in the hot and humid (or cold and humid) climate that is Northern Florida.
If yes, what would you reccomend as a finish and who would do it?
If no, why not?
Thanks for the help.
