Gus!
She borrowed her daddy's ( Perfessr) model 36, ( though she wanted the Glock) until she bought her own SP101.
Gotta be.
--only problem with the laquer, when it starts o wear it's ugly and hard to remove. Simichrome all the way on this folks.
Oh be careful with any "silver dip" type cleaners, besides the fact stink like rotten eggs, may not be good for the tourquoise...main deal is to the soulution gets inside the hollow parts, big time skin irritant, and risining doesn't seem to always get rid of smell. That and the fact the "dip" is real pricey and really does not work...it can "frost" brass, copper ,nickel...etc.
Ammonia ( I used to buy the 28 % stuff) anyway ammonia cleans, remove greases,oils but the big deal is it RINSES. Not for use on pearls, coral, imiitation stones ( glued in or stones glued togetherin mfg) . Mild solution of ammonia and water is all hte stuff you buy is, they just add a bit of soap, and smell good fragrance.
Simple green works as a substitute. Toothpaste ruined more stones when that "tip" was printed --way to go Heloise. Toothpaste is abrasive and goodbye pearls, opals, coral, tourquoise...scratches metal too.
