The S&W is a great value. Don't worry about the finish, the blueing is just a controlled colored rust. Just keep the gun oiled with a light film of oil.
MoparMuscleGuy. are you a full mooner or a 1/2 mooner? (its a gun question)
I've always been a full mooner sort of guy. I figure if I can't kill my attacker with five shots of 45 cal Hydroshock ammo, I've got bigger problems than a fast reload. :-D
