Thanks for the advice Aaron. I did buy it as a shooter, but I rarely shoot anything other then my CCW gun, in actuality. If I shoot it twice a year, that'll be a lot. I'm just going to have to be more discriminating on my next purchase (and liberal in my spending).
Hugh, that's almost exactly what I intend to do, but I'll use some of the fine machine oil in the machine shop at work. Somehow, it really does wonders with some 0000 brass or steel wool and machine oil. :-)
I do that with many of my "less beautiful" guns and it's amazing how much better they look while still retaining that lovely patina.
Guys, I'm really appreciating all of the advice and thoughts. I'm learning volumes here....
