I am looking for S&W 581/681s to work into 3" barreled Round butt carry guns.
I would like to cut the barrel to 3" and put either a dovetailed or pinned patridge front sight(might have a gold bead) and change the stock square butt grip to round.
My real question is what is a better base metal for the final coat of finish, Carbon steel or Stainless Steel. The finishes I am looking for might be parkerizing, regular blue(if a carbon frame), Black T or maybe some other type of black coating.
Thanks
