I bought this model 10-7 and it had some blemishes on the cylinder. I wanted a dark hard finish and sent it to H&M Blacknitride in Arizona.
I received it back and when I tried to reassemble it I could not get the cylinder into cylinder window and I could not get the cylinder to revolve on the barrel of the yoke. I worked for 2 hours with a stone to remove build up on barrel and the end of the yoke. I also had to stone the end of the barrel to get proper gaps.
The finish has a matt hue to it and is supposed to be very resistant to salts like off your hand. The finish is supposed to have a bit of self lube quality to it.

Thanks for the tip on who to avoid for refinishing.

I think it looks pretty good. Too bad you had to work on it afterwards

I would not advise anyone wanting this finish to avoid this process just be aware that it can build up tolerances that have to be corrected

That is a beautiful refinish of the quintessential snub-nose revolver! Sincerely. bruce.

I would think that the company that did the work would send it back assembled and ready to shoot. That would be a requirement of mine.

It looks good and it's a great gun. Hard to beat a snub model 10 for easy carry.
