Hello everyone I got a new titanium revolver . It picks up darker scuffs easy. I was wondering if there was a way to get them out easy without harming a coating if there is one over the metal ?
 
Ya know what dude, the gun is a tool. Tools that get used show wear. if you want the gun to look pristine and pretty for ever put it back in the box and leave it in your gunsafe and take it out every now and then and look at it .

and gawd forbid you should ever fire it
 
Yeah just looking for an easy way to every now and then get out a few scuffs I carry it in a pocket holster and understand it gets normal wear and tear . I just like to take care of the stuff I spend some money on . It's always been that way with me and will . That's how it should be
 
I don't own and have never owned a titanium weapon but understand wanting to keep expensive tools clean. I looked on S&W's forum and the most common answer from people who own titanium weapons is Hoppe's #9 oil, patches and elbow grease.
 
Funny how you look at a gun the same
Way as i do. Its a tool. Just like my hammer my wrenches and my screw driver. I never had the urge to buff out the scrape marks on my hammer....havent hurd many people call there gun a tool. Everybodys so worried about scrape marks and gun wear. Like he said put it away if you dont wanna scratch the gun.
 
I got marks on my M&P, and that's fine with me. I bought it to defend myself with, not to show the bad guy a pretty gun that shines! Man up, you bought it for self defense, the biggest thing you should be worried about is not cosmetics. You should be worried about cleaning it and making sure it WILL function the way it is suppose if your life ever depends on it.

I run my gun hard so I know that I can trust my life on it, I suggest you get out to the range and do the same.
 
I have a 342 ti with the titanium cylinder and usually any scuffs wipe right off with a dry cloth! Try a nylon pocket holster and it should not scuff as much as a leather one!
 
Sort of reminds me of a friend of mine who bought an expensive fiber glass or plastic canoe for $2300. It only weighed 30 pounds. He was so careful of it he wouldn't go where there were any rocks, wouldn't beach the canoe on a sand beach for fear of scratches. He was so careful of it that it seemed useless to me. After our canoe camping trip I told him he needed to have two canoes. One to use, the other to keep in his livingroom on display! :sarcastic:
 
Yeah guess you guys are right ... It's still new to me though lol . I am sure when I shoot it a couple times and the gun falls apart and I have to test out tarus warranty I won't care anymore lol. I am being a smart ... But like anything that's new I just wanna keep it perfect as long as I can
 
Wow I thought I was hardcore. "Man up"? What men aren't men unless their guns are scraped and look like they've been through a war? I had Kimber mill the top of my slide to get rid of a mark unworthy of an $1100 gun, cost me a couple hundred but they blasted and refinished it and installed Meprolights too so it was again a work of art. I carry that .45 every day and it has some rubs on the slide and frame from being drawn and shot. So does the SR40c I carry sometimes. But I don't think something has to be ugly to be useful.

Give the kid a break. He saved his money, sold some other gun and bought this one. He's proud of it.
 
Well said Bill! Just because I want a girl that will treat me right does not mean I want one that has a face made for radio. Same goes for a gun...
 
anything used to get a job done can be considered a tool from a paperclip to a firearm........
i try to keep all my tools in good shape cleaned and function able i'm not too concerned with looks so long it works when i need it too
congrats on your new tool/gun take care of it and it should serve you well

Thanks eagle eyes hope you get a new gun , think I've heard you say you need a new one
 
A gun with wear marks on it is a gun of character and one that proves that the owner is exercising his/her 2nd amendment rights. Put some lead down range and wear the gun with pride!

ROTFLMAO!!!

Dont care who you are... thats funny.

My S&W daily carry has a few marks, probably cost a LOT less than the Titanuim one, but I admit I was freeked out by bumping and scratching it for the first few months. Now, I can tell mine apart from another of the same modle when layed side by side. I dont consider mine a tool but another scratch... whatever. As long as its not damaged and functions perfectly. Call them beauty marks. :girl_wacko:
 
It's softer than steel, so avoid harsh scrubbing. Small scuffs are the mark of a tool that is being used. If you have to use more than elbow grease and some Hoppe's #9 or Hoppes Elite (my preferred solvents) than you are going to wear the Ti.
 
Well everyday now that is passing its gettin less and less new : already thinking about the next gun . Not selling this one as I like it just ready to expand
