Some really nice looking revolvers there. BTW, does the Bead blasted ones tend to rust quicker than polished steel?
In theory yes. A highly polished surface will hold off corrosion longer. Don't know why but it does. Unless you just totally neglect these, there shouldn't be an issue with blasting them.

Get off my lawn.
These GPs came in just in time. My brother is coming over tomorrow and I'm going to hit him with his when he gets here. I can't wait to see the look on his face. I can't explain the 3rd one. I got excited. :D Maybe Kylie needed her own, yeah that's it....

Here is the family portrait:

The blasting creates a porous surface which holds gun oil very very well (so well it does not feel oily and does not rub off). The oil is what gives it the grey patina. Without the oil the stainless looks almost white. anyway....... Oiled Stainless = double corrosion resistant.
