Thank you for the update. I found a slightly rough blued Blackhawk and I think the hard chrome will be an excellent choice. I'll get the action work done first.

I do like what i think is a softer, bead blasted, stainless look. Have it on a 20+ yr Old 625 and a fairly recent 642.
If the rings are bloody, you're doing it wrong.
I don't mind seeing the rings any more than I mind seeing the finish worn off of the hammer face of a 1911. I figure that's just what guns look like in real life
As to the color...my wife is like a crow. She likes shiny things. I do not. A lot of my revolvers are stainless either for the corrosion resistant functionality, or simply because it was the only color offered. I would much rather they were blued...or even modern "blacked," or parkerized...or almost any dark color that isn't rust
What was the line from "The Fugitive," about, "lose that nickel plated..."

YES! They recommend you get all the action work done before.
If you get your piece hard chromed, please post a photo. I'd like to see it. I'm thinking of hard chroming the top part of my Ruger Mark3 .22LR stubbie bull barrel. ✋
It's a great little pistol!

I was going to try to come up with some sort of Cylon joke, with the shiny on top and black bottom...
...Then I looked at your avatar
I belong in the heathen camp.
I love my blued guns more than my SS guns. But you know what, if it isn't a collector's piece and the bluing has worn more than I want...Just rub a little cold blue on it...
So long as it isn't an "off blue", like some of the Ruskie/com block purplish bluing, it usually matches really, really close. Mostly though I just take it as a sign of character. Doesn't bother me in the least. I can't collect guns. I own tools. Don't have the money or the space in my safe, or a wife who tolerates guns enough to just buy a collectible. I buy things I am going to shoot. Don't get me wrong, I wish I could buy collectible guns. But that isn't in my cards.
