I have a Charter Arms Bull Dog 44 spl that I just didn't care for the flat mat grey finish. I always thought what a waste to treat stainless steel that way. So I first polished the cylinder and the barrel for a two tone look. I liked the new look. I was asked why I didn't polish all of the gun and well that got me to getting the sanding paper out to polish it all. I am actually glad I got a nudging to continue buffing the dog. I wish the camera could capture the overall shine to it. I guess it isn't the camera but he who presses the button, me. Here are pics of stock then two tone then total buff.
What's nice about a polished firearm, is that finger prints wipe right off. Also any fine holster marks can also be polished out. Just a little bit more maintenance, but to me, well worth the effort. YMMV.
