Yesterday I bought a used and dirty police trade in revolver. It is a S&W Model 65 357mag, 4" barrel, fixed sights. Wanted a concealed carry gun for when out and about with my retired LEO credentials. Always preferred revolvers.
Today I bobbed off the hammer, champered the cylinders, bead blasted the gun and installed a pair of compact boot grips. Took about half a day but I'm happy with the results. Some before and after pics.
