I'm thinking of getting my Dan Wesson 6-V22 refinished. Where could I find a place that would finish it? Would I be crazy to get it refinished to a Bright Polished Nickel?

here's a sit that does nickel, chrome, etc. I do not know anyone who has used them but it looks like they can do it.

If you're going to do a re-blue on it, contact our resident bluing specialist "Hotbluer", in this link...

DW's look GREAT in nickle.
Steve can give you the name of a place that did his & it turned out excellent.

Like this:
Cost me $350 to have done by my local gunsmith. He completely disassembled, polished as needed, then sent out the parts being refinished. Reassembled, refitting any internal parts as needed. It came out exactly as I planned, and it's worth it to do once.
It is also as close to a safe queen as I have. I do shoot it, but not a lot. I have other 15-2's that I shoot regularly, I would not do this with a regular shooter. I can't stand the thought of a nick, ding, or scratch. Also, supposedly ammonia based cleaning products are not good for this finish.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

my 15 is getting refinished this week by the above listed "rebluer". You should contact him and have a talk before you decide who refinishes your gun.

Hotbluer (Mark) is a good guy and a DWF favorite.
