Soooooooo...what is your decision , Keith ?
And just why would you give a hoot-in-'ell what a bunch of guys you do not even know pontificate on the subject ?
Just curious.
And so it goes...
Just a got back a bisley grip frame fitted with grips from him. It takes a lot for me to be impressed by a gunsmith. I would of been impressed by these grips if they were half as good as they are. Some of his stuff is not my style. But I would have him build something to my specs if I was in the market.
+1 Have heard great things about their work, but what I've seen is too gaudy for my taste..... However, if I were to recommend a custom gunsmith who has actually done work for me, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dave Clements....
Gary's service is excellent! I have a custom 41GNR Blackhawk and a Bisley Hunter that he put an octagon barrel on. Both great shooters, smooth as silk with his Performance Package. I find it a great past time to play with the GNR cartridges and am very happy with my choice. He currently has my Encore Pro-Hunter and I will soon have 2 barrels fitted in 429GNR and 455GNR. I've met him personally and hope to do more business with him and Colleen.
I had them rework a Browning 71 for me some time ago. I simply opted no engraving, an option that somehow escapes most commentors who have never held nor fired their work.
I endorse them 100%, as much as any other poor fool trying to earn a living doing custom gunsmithing.
