I looked at a Smith 329 today that has a bad case of the uglies. Mechanically, it is perfect, having only been shot 6 times. But, it has been carried a bunch and the finish has been worn away and has been "touched up" with Magic Marker (Blech!). Just out of curiosity, what refinish options extist for this young cannon? Seems like NP3 would be a pretty good option. Thoughts?

my son sent his scandium 357 BUG to S&W. They refinished it for free. Seems the scandiums dont wear real well.

As the previous post says ,,,SCANDIUMS dont wear well. Here's a quick rundown for you. I bought a brand new one 340sc .357 in 9/2002. I began carrying and shooting it in march of '03. I love the weight of the gun. The finish flaked off BAD real bad like completely. it appeared to have almost like an enamel finish that doesnt like leather. There is a small raised area on the left side of the frame to retain the cylinder when it is unlatched for unloading/reloading...gone, the cylinder made of titanium cut through it like a hacksaw just from normal use. S@w was nice enough to fix the frame and the finish. These guns are great if you like to carry often and shoot little. Now that I am through ranting on this gun I am a Smith and wesson fan I.E. pre internal safety and pre scandium . Smith has been really fair about this and their t/a time for me was 6 days. I have a host of other complaints about the gun E-mail me and I'll share em all. Their customer service has been good to me so far.
