and there ya go...................blue sucks unless of course you have it in one of those nice countryside wood gun cabinets with glass in front to stare at while the fire is burning in the fireplace, your tying trout flies, labradors lounging at your feet, while wearing your elk skinned slippers!
my 629 6" dual magnaported has seen some seriass use over the years and hasnt whimpered or sniviled ONCE! and its been hammered over the years hunting in some pretty nasty conditions. the 629's natural companion is marlins stainless .44mag lever gun. kinda like 2 peas in a pod.
now that scandium frames have been out awhile we are starting to see some holster wear on them also.
parkerizing sucks also. maybe a step above blueing and thats not saying much.
robar guarantees its surface treatments for the life of the gun(read small print) including being covered in the likely event of a teradactyl pooing on you!
