Thanks for kind words guys, it kinda sucks that we cann't have pistols in the UK.
We just replaced them with more shotguns and rifles,lots of guys shoot .44 and .357 lever actions.
I have retired ex-cop friend tha lives in California, i try to get over there once a year and have day a the range with his pistols.
I even took the CCW course last year and passed,but California won't give me a CCW as i'm not a resident(but i 've told i can get one in Florida).
As for my edge finish,i use brown liquid shoe polish after burnishing.
I just paint it on with my finger,it cheap and seams to work.
The only down side it my wife steals it for shoes.
