I am going to have to check the safe when I am at home.  I have one of those, only mine is a goverment First Edition.  Holds 7 in the clip insted of 6 that the mustangs and pocket lights hold.

Here is an update:

I read quite a bit about how this is done, and while I am no expert I think it has turned out pretty well.  I was able to hot blue the frame and the slide using a Pyrex bowl and the stove top.  I heated the parts up in the oven to just about 180 degrees and the solution just just below boiling (stunk up the whole house BTW, wife not happy).  15 coats later this was the results:



and:



The plastic trigger was broken when I got it so I have to order a new one from Brownells, along with a spring kit.  Once I have the parts I can put it back together and take it to the range.  Should be an interesting time.

How about an update on this little beauty?  It'd be nice to see the end result!

The pictures above are the most current, still waiting on the wife to authorize the $$$ for the parts needed.  Springs and new trigger.  All in all a bit over $50, but for some reason I keep spending my budget on things like powder, casings, and gas to get to the range.  All those nit-noy little things in life that make it worth living.  :D
