    Patience and Penetrating Oil

    I might not have bit at this, but I don't have a 6" Model 10. And it's not so old that I'll lose anything by having it refinished.

    Some months ago, I got a glass baking dish. I took off the grips, sprayed the gun with PD Blaster, put plastic wrap and tinfoil over the top and let it sit. Every month or so, I'd take it out, try it, and then give it another squirt of PDBlaster.

    After two months, the rear sideplate screw came out. The sideplate was still not moving.

    So I kept at it.

    Today, I took it out, rapped on the frame with a piece of wood and the sideplate popped off, pretty as you please.

    I took out the hammer and trigger, wiped them and the frame down, then took them outside for a few squirts of brake cleaner. I was afraid that the internals would be shot through with rust, but they're not.

    Oil and patience win the day.

    With regard to the 19-3 nickeled snubbie:

    The trigger was a narrow one that had been rounded off. It was like trying to squeeze a toothpick. I ordered a .312" smooth trigger from Numrich.

    Got it in and installed it. Much better!

    Now I wish I had ordered a second one for my Model 15. They're out of stock.

    It’s a BK grip.

    I plopped the gun on a postal scale. 36.3oz, loaded. Not a pocket pistol for anyone other than Mongo.

    There is something about that gun that brings up one of those smiles of pure appreciation. I can't say what it is, maybe it just glows somehow. Stephanie, if you ever change it please don't post a photograph.
