While there may very well be someone doing quality bluing in So Cal, I am not aware of them. I do know that Glenrock bluing does quality work; they have built a national reputation doing work for gunsmiths from all over the country.
Shipping a firearm is not really a big deal, you can use either FedEx or UPS, but you will have to take the gun to one of their hubs. You cannot use one of the contract stations in a strip mall. You will have to declare it as a firearm and pay for overnight shipping. But that is really not a big deal. I have shipped a number of firearms for repair, and never had a problem.
Give Glenrock a call and ask all the questions you have. If you use them, you will be completely satisfied. -
First off be sure you will not be killing any collector value.
May I ask what kind and how old??Comment

My sugestion is to find a local gunsmith to check the pistol. Have them get the gun functional and always leave the original finish. If the gun has value and its a newer Colt, I may consider sending the pistol to the Colt shop and have them do the work. They will completely refinish most Colt for about $400 (returning the pistol to original factory specs)"God made Man, Colt made them equals"Comment

Wow, an RG .38 still around.
Almost 30 years ago I bought one of those and shoot the heck out of it without any hiccups.
Lot's of different opinions about RG's reliability and quality.
Why don't you try a cold blue approach in your gun, It's cost effective and easy to do.Would you like to participate in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms movement in California?
