S&W 686 SSR finish

[Barryt83]

I picked this revolver up on a deal but it has some scuffs or marks in the glass beaded finish. Anyone have a good process for removing them without glass beading the pistol? If not, does anyone know what grit glass bead S&W uses so I can try to get as close as possible on the finish?

Beauty marks, get out and put some more on it!

I promise I'm fine with shooting them but I'm not fine with abusing them. These marks look like they are from neglect not usage.

You would not like my 686SSR.
Many draws from kydex plus carbon cleanup have given it a custom finish.

The factory won't bead blast a refinish job, I tried about 90 days ago.....

Might have good luck with a scotch brite pad.

HOLD THE FRIGGEN PHONE!!! I called COLT, not S&W... My bad, head up butt, mouth in motion prior to engaging brain..... False start..

I don't know anything about the finish, but my SSR shoots like a laser. Yes, it shoots better than my pre-lock guns. I hope you get your finish fixed, but you're really gonna love the way that gun runs no matter what it look like. It shoots itself-you just hang on.
