What i use in case of re bluing is.. Birchwood casey™ makes a great cold bluing kit..

The kit has a degreaser, bluing remover and perma blue re bluer..
Depending how bad the wear is.. id just use the perma blue™ applied with a cotton ball.. it smells like shit and it will burn your fingers if it come in contact with your skin.. so wear gloves

If the most of the fininsh is gone.. and you want to do the whole thing.. start with the bluing remover.. then the degreaser, follwed up with the perma blue™ then a BWC silicone cloth.

The longer you let the perma blue™ sit and more aplications you put on.. the darker it becomes. The name says "Blue" but its more of the gun metal blue/black. I use it for touch ups for restoring minor wear. It works perfect.

You can find the Birchwood casey™ kit at any BIG 5 or off of BWC's site..

$15.00 bucks for the kit.

And NO don't "sand blast" your pistol if you want to keep it's value..
Only if you have the resaurces. "bead blasting" is whats used to get down to the raw material. But not even nessacery. The blue remover will work.
