Looks good, but I'd suggest you make the scratch/distressing go not up and down, but from muzzle end up the frame to the grip.
Remember, wear and tear on revolver/pistol bluing is caused by sliding in and out of a holster. The wear you have on your's makes no physical sense in the real world.
Just a suggstion.

Remember also that finishes don't wear evenly. The high spots (slide release, sharp edges of the muzzle, leadng edge of the dust cover) that actually interact with the holster get polished while many of the flats and recesses can remain almost perfect even after years.
Can't get a decent photo of real holster wear but I'm sure someone has an example for you.

First I put on a black base and brushed than the metal parts with silver, than the handle with brown ink. Some sand and dirt and it was like this.
The firm is a Japanese called ASGK SAN-EI and that model is called "The Survivor Browning HP Canadian No.2 Mk1 Airsoftgun"
It is standard 0,5 joule and is firing very well without any problems.
I found it just on german ebay.

If you haven't repainted it yet, I really recommend painting it flat black and then buying a can of shiny silver spray paint, and what you do is grab an old sock and spray the silver directly onto the tip of the sock (put your hand inside it or fold it into a ball and hold it) and then lightly dab the sock onto the areas that would get weathered first.
Since you control the amount of paint and since socks have some texture to them you get a really realistic yet easy to control method of paint delivery
Heres a page with a tutorial following those lines
