Alright
So, I'm really thinking of a Heritage 92 Ranch Hand.  Unfortunately, the configuration I want (.357 octagonal barrel) is only available in stainless.  Are there any options other than cerakote and nitride/DLC for blakcening it?  A darkened "patina" is cool too.

I've used a similar product to this  on a Badger ordnance stainless steel gas block and it ended up more like a patina than
turning it totally black.
It kind of aged it.
Here's a few different methods but basically you just degrease it and keep rubbing the solution on with a rag until you're happy with the way it looks.
