Let's face it... We all have different tastes in firearms. This is the way I like my j-frames:
A 637 airweight with S&W checkered kingwood service grips, a Don Hume pocket holster, Speer Gold Dot 135grn HP's. and she's stripped of her clear-coat.
Now... To disable the saftey lock :D

holy cow.

I have never hated and loved the same gun so much. I dont like the grips, but i love the two-tone effect. How do you remove the clear coat safely?
 
Clear cote

I did not know they were clear coated. Is that to protect the alloys from corrosion? How is it to shoot with stock grips? I never had a J with stock grips left on. I just got a square butt model and those grips were gone in a flash, to get some more hand filling.
 
Airweights come clear coated from the factory; however peeling of the original clear coat finish has been a problem for many (including me). Smith and Wesson stripped the clear coat off of my revolver at no charge, because it is lifetime warranted. The absence of the clear coat should not present a problem due to the frame being made of aluminum. The stock S&W service grips represent a nostalgic period of j-frames that I love. They are a bit tough to shoot with, but allow the little revolver to be concealed very nicely.
 
The clear coat is to make it all one color. as you can see, the frame is a different color on his gun. Thats not so with the clear. Its all uniform. I like the two-tone effect though

Even with the clear coat intact, the barrel and cylinder are a different color on my 642.
