This is one of several firearms I inherited from uncle who passed back in June. He wasn't much of a shooter and wasn't very good about properly storing and cleaning anything hence the condition of the finish on this one. I'm not really a fan of shiny finishes on guns and I'm not too hung up on trying to maintain any value the gun might possibly have. I'm new to the whole revolver thing but I do find some of the pristine blued examples you guys and gals post to be quite striking. I guess what I'm trying to get at is what direction would you go if this was yours? This will never be much more than a range/BBQ gun. There is some irrational pride of ownership happening here. Dry firing this thing every time I pull the trigger on single-action, I laugh out loud it's just so ridiculous.
