Thread: Nitrided Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley by WMD Guns

  1. #1

    Nitrided Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley by WMD Guns

    I had my Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley nitride treated by WMD Guns. They call it Nitromet (Melonite). I was carrying it regularly, particularly on days when I go the range. It was developing a few tiny spots of corrosion on the backstrap due to my sweat. If it stands up to my sweat as well as my Glocks, then the corrosion issue is a permanent fix. Top photo is before the treatment.

    That is awesome. I've been wanting to do that to a revolver, but hadn't found a shop that would actually do it.

    My understanding is that there are variations of the process, and if the wrong one is done on stainless, it will actually make it less corrosion resistant. (M&P - cough, cough.) But the correct one improves it. The best results are achieved with carbon steel, which would make that the way to go for a revolver, unless starting with one you already have.

    If that's wrong, I don't wanna be right. Beautiful gun, OP.

    During my very many decades of studying handguns I've not seen a more attractive(and utilitarian)handgun than the one in your first post. I fantasize about having this revolver chambered in .45 ACP and receiving custom work making it a super accurate target revolver. And it would be a cast bullet shooting precision tool.

    Did they pull the barrel or leave it assembled?
