I was wondering if you can get the same results with warm bluing as some call it, as you do with hot bluing. I know a fellow that has a bluing tank but he uses a process called, "warm bluing." I'm curious to know if he can put that same beautiful bluing that the DW has on their pistols with this method. I know there is a lot that goes into bluing with different shades etc. Anyone know about this?

Gary,
I would think EWK, or Shoot may know someting on this! If nothing else take your worse looking shroud and have him do it see what it looks like! Hot Bluer is the DW bluer of choice on here!!! 
HE needs an add on the left with LB and EWK!

I have never heard of warm bluing...there is cold and then there's hot. 
Hot is the way to go.
As to shades, its all in the polishing job not so much the bluing process, though that's very important.
I'd be careful with the guy, could very well do great work, but like I said I never have heard of warm bluing, and remember once your parts have a hack job done to them, there is NO fixing them.
I'd go with someone like hotbluer that knows what they are doing.

++1 as well. I've never heard of warm bluing either and I wouldn't put anything cold on any of my guns. If it's worth keeping, send it out for a hot blue.

I wonder if your guy is using the old "Rust bluing" method ? If that's the
case it may turn out a very nice job. Your guy might be calling it warm
bluing because "Rust bluing" uses a cooler temp than Hot blue so that it
can be safely used on soldered and brazed parts. I believe most high end
shotgun barrels with soldered ribs are the "Rust blue" method and usually
have a very dark black blue finish like the better Remington Wingmasters or
that deep black Browning look.
Find out a little more about his process and let us know.

Whatever method you choose, it all comes down to prep work. If you want a nice final product, you have to have a nicely polished piece before you blue it.
You''ll find your self spending 90% of your time polishing out a piece and 10% bluing it.
Hot blue is the way to go if you want a true deep blue job.

Thanks for the advice. Hot bluing will look a lot better on the DW.

That's interesting and some good history on the DW ring. They said, "I am listing this ring for a lady that worked at Dan Wesson in Monson, Ma. in the 80's. It was her own ring and it is a size 7 1/2. It is my understanding these rings were produced in a limited run and available only to the employees. They were never released to the public."

By looking on DWF under "Parts and Service"
https://www.danwessonforum.com/forum/parts-and-service/hot-bluing-service/
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.
