Protection of pristine blueing

Beauties!

Are they mirror finish or more matte-ish? The highway patrolman isn’t as mirrored as a model 27, from what I’ve read… Matte may not be the right term, it’s not, not pristinely smooth (more bad English, I know).

As opposed to say an actual Colt M1917.

One is more mirror than the other one I had to restore the grips

Iv'e been using LSA for 40 years and never had a gun rust. Probably the biggest thing is to not put it away with finger prints on it.

Sure. That makes sense. I have a bottle of that someplace….

Yes, and after 40 years I have grown fond of the smell.

I’ve had GREAT success using Eezox for exterior / interior firearms protection . Many also tout Renaissance Wax for exterior firearms protection .
