I wish I had pictures of it when i first did it, a GP-100 completely re-blued with 44/40, because i didn't have any $$ at the time. It was my first blue job, the revolver saw lots of carry in the woods in some pretty rough weather.

The bluing holds oil quite well, and has been durable. The most important thing in any bluing process is the metal prep IMO.
