It's a pre agreement Model 36 (I think, blue, hammer, short barrel) that a guy bought new as part of a set with a 19, that he stuck in his safe and NEVER fired. That's right, NIB! (but no box)
Not a scratch on it, came with a slick little Bianchi thumb-break holster (also new). It's wonderful.
So now I got a snubby. (my first!) I'd love to carry it, but I worry about rust.
I'm torn: keep it new as a collector? Send it out for a trigger job and hard chrome? Decisions, decisions...
Ok, I ripped it. I wanna shoot it. That's why I bought it. It's really small, so it will go anyplace. So a raft of questions for all you snubby experts.
Boot grips or T-grip?
Hard chrome, NP3, electroless nickel, black nickel, Black-T, Roguard? (That's all I could think of, feel free to suggest others. I would like to keep it black, if possible.)
Who can do a good trigger job? Without it taking a year? (I suppose I could do it myself, I'm pretty good with a honing stone. Got the Kuhnhausen books, so I won't screw it up. Done rifles before with good results.)
110 JHP's, 125 LHP +P's, 158 LSWCHP +P's, Federal Nyclads?
So what would you do? Hopping from foot to foot in antici.......................pation.
Whoops. Not anticipation. Gotta water the porcelain. Sorry!
Smiles all around, Happy New Year!
