Howdy folks,

I am so happy to find this board. Nice to know there are others out there who appreciate the superior design of the Dan Wesson Revolver.

I was wondering if anyone out there knows what finishing method or grit at the factory was used to polish the stainless steel models.

I picked up a 715 that was a little rough in the finish dept and would like to touch it up a little without seriously altering the factory finish.

Regards,

Ben

Welcome! I just got my first SS DW, and look forward to some input on this too, although mine is in excellent condition. The other SS pistols I have owned were more matte finished, so I don't know much about this either.  I'm sure more knowledge will be forthcoming soon.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I have found that the brown Scotch Bright pads work great to match the brushed stainless finish. Just go slow and follow the existing brush lines, small scratches/rubs will disappear.
