I have a Uberti saa that has a brass back strap . Is there a way to blacken it ? I really like the pistol BUT don't care for the brass back strap .

Regular cold bluing will turn it pretty much black too.

I lived with this gun for close to 25yrs with brass tg/bs and hated it every day. I went to EMF and we found a set of tg/bs and grips that were black nickeled and made tor the ASM Dalota. they were not supposed to fit, but they did.

so you can get a set of steel ones or find some already black nickel plated. I never did find anyone that would do it as a small job.

I love the grips on my pistol . They fit my hand perfectly . That is why I was wanting to blacken the back strap . But thanks for the suggestion of replacing. I know Walt at EMF would take care of you , he is a Great guy .

Rowdy that makes a huge difference.  Got me a couple of them Brass back straps and I think they need a re-do. Thanks for the photo's.

That came out really well.  Got a Uberti Hombre.  Love the revolver but not so much the brass.  Thanks for the photo's.  I'm gonna' find me some of that stuff.

That looks really good, I'll have to trey that. I have an old Armi Jeager (SP?) Single action I use for my GAF shooting, has the brass like that, but other Colt clone grip frames won't fit, frame is shaped different.

Rowdy,

I am curious, how is the brass black solution holding up on your revolver?

Back in the 90's I used aluminum blacking on some brass parts and it did eventually rub off in spots.

So I guess I am wondering if the brass blacking is a better solution.

The nice thing is it can always be darkened when it wears a bit.

It wears pretty good but with lots of use it will need an occasional touch up . But not yet .
