Black Ion plated 500 Smith & Wesson (pics)
Its not exactly what I wanted but Im not done yet.
I wanted the cylinder plated gun metal gray. The PVD machine that does the Ion Plating creates a huge magnetic balloon inside. That creates energy. The energy would leave arching marks and so it could not be done. I guess its all the curves etc. So Im going to try to find someone who can coat the cylinder gun metal gray. For now its Ion silver bead blasted. The gun is Black Ion plated. I need to send the whole thing off to Smith to finish the insides. I cant put it back together. I lost my pictures during my hard drive crash. Oh well.... Heres the pics.......

DAAAAAYYYYUUUMM...................!!!!!   I saw your other thread asking about a set of schematics to help you reassemble the gun, but I had no idea it looked so GOOD. That is SWEET.

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!
Where did you get that done and if you don't mind how much did it run you? I'm going to be buying back my Kahr K40 for off duty carry and I'd like to have it finished in black.

I don't really know what "ion plating" is, but your Smithie looks hella cool.

Hey, a 500 that is finally in the right color.
I'm a purist in that all my N-frames and S&Ws have to be blued. That's closer to bluing, still not quite my taste as I'd have a Scandium 329 if it was. But it is a damn nice looking gun and about as tempting as ever for me to get a 500 if S&W were smart enough to offer them like that.

Dude, that looks freaking awesome. Real high-tech look for a wheelgun!
Is that model made out of stainless steel? If so why not leave the cylinder as-is? I think it looks most excellent.

*****in!!
A while back, I sent my S&W Model 66 (stainless) to Robar to have it blackened, I should have had them NP3 the cylinder as well! That looks sharp!!
