I would start by cleaning with a quality dish soap mixed in warm water, using a soft toothbrush, then dry well with a soft cotton cloth. I would then follow up with a coat of Res wax or Johnson's and Johnson's wax. If that does not accomplish what you want at least it will do no harm.

Have to love 44's
The 44 Spl is the grandfather to all the modern magnums! Elmer pushed it to the limits and with Smith & Wesson, then Remington, came the 44 magnum. Old or new Smiths or other makers, the 44 Spl can stand on it's own. That is a very nice revolver you have. Here is mine.

RapidRay, I have one of those, as well. It's a sweet gun.
I'm really enjoying shooting the .44 special.... but, I'm a little worried about the "old boy".... I love shooting the "N" frame with the soft shooting big bore .44, but I just can't get comfortable shooting large volumes of ammo out of the 89 year old pistol. I am very pleased to own it and I don't want to mess it up.....
So, today I bought a S&W model 624 off Gunbroker.... It's a mid 1980s model 6" barrel in .44 special! Now I'll be able to have my "cake" and shoot it too!
