It is interesting how people's tastes in guns can vary so much. To me the grips, the matte finish and the unfluted cylinder all combine to make this gun kind of plain and quite unattractive.

I don't like the garish "357" on the grips, but aside from that, yes sir, I'll take one. And I may just --make-- the finish a gloss finish.
 
I just used Mothers Mag Polish from Canadian Tire.

This has seen over 1000 rounds now.

I don't know if you can tell by these pics but it's even more polished now.

When I pulled this out at the range today someone said, "You must me Rick!" Lol. I said "no my name is Andy!" He laughed and said you look like Rick Grimes!

This is no Python for sure but I love it all the same. :)

So you like polishing your pistol I see Laugh2
 
Muthafunk, did polishing have any negative effect on the S&W etching symbol on the left side of the gun? I have done this on another Taurus revolver with more of a deep "engraved" emblem, but when looking at my S&W 686 the symbol seems to protrude - I am scared polishing the gun may remove it. What say you? Thanks,
