my_plague_666 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 although somone said the 10" actually has the same length inner barrell as the 8". and the luger doesnt fit the bill in 2 ways: 1. its not a revolver, and 2 its not as efficient...plus i thi nk the 8" P08 looks over extended Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 lol I never said it was a revolver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 i know, but everyone loves revolvers and therefore no matter how awesome lugers are a revolver will always be cooler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Before I bead blast my silver Zeke M29 kit to match the finish on my new Tanaka M629 does anyone have a silver M29 they might be willing to trade straight up with me? I would prefer not to blast the Zeke kit because the finish is actually really nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lt.Fenix Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Tanaka Python 6 inch new midnight finish. But.... I didn't really like how it looked, so I cleaned it up a little with some polishing compound. Looks a lot better now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moriquende Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) I'm so gonna do that on a midnight gold SAA Edited August 1, 2007 by Moriquende Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 how would you describe the colouration and finish when it's seen in the flesh after that treatment. ive never liked midnight gold, but this might turn me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dirtyharry.44 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) yeah I think the midnight gold sucks......now I might have to get some more midnight gold guns though, and do this treatment. After the treatment i would describe the finish as about as good looking as the old midnight blue finish. would anyone like more pictures of the finished product? EDIT - Your gonna see more pics weather you want to or not These pictures I just took are much better Edited August 1, 2007 by dirtyharry.44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 wow...just...wow. no more wishing i could get certain guns in midnight blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dirtyharry.44 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 wow...just...wow. no more wishing i could get certain guns in midnight blue. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> EXACTLY!I was always saying "WHY CANT THEY MAKE MIDNIGHT BLUE ANYMORE" turns out, midnight gold with some modifying is better . This has nothing to do with midnight gold or anything, but Since I had the camera out, i figured why not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt.Fenix Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 dirtyharry.44, Glad to see it worked out for you too. One thing is better about the new midnight finish though, it is far more durable than the old midnight blue finish. The old finish could be scraped off with your finger nails... but so far the new midnight finish on my python has held up even to the cylinder release friction on the frame. Now with polishing compound though, at least most of the ugliness of the new finish can be fixed. Although I do remember the old midnight blue finish still looking a bit nicer.

I never would of thought to use polishing compound if you hadnt mentioned it. I usually only use that on my bowie knives . But anyways, It looks great and as you said it is a whole lot more durable...its perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstein5 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 What polishing compound are you using dirty harry? Probably a silly question, but I don't want to screw it up when I do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wolfstein5 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I just don't own any gun polish and didn't want to use the wrong stuff. Thanks. Did you get my PM, by the way? Edited August 2, 2007 by wolfstein5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt.Fenix Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I used the polishing compound included in the dremel cleaning/polishing set. Always be careful when you do something like this though... first test it out on the butt of the gun that's covered up by the grip panels or somewhere else that's not visible unless the gun is disassembled. If you think it's safe, then you can do the rest of the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris North Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Made a set of grips for my Redhawk today: I need to figure out how to use this camera a bit better... The grips look nice though, yes? Something had to cheer me up today, after yesterday, guess this would be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
