My one and only classic, purchased here on this forum

Always wanted a classic didn't want to break the bank. Was able to purchase some absolutely beautiful Sambar grips from "Chance" and then a 1958 Flattop 44 Mag from Mike722. These guys were great and I'm mighty pleased. While its not a 10/10 it is fairly nice and I am a happy camper. Total cost under $1000.

Here are some pics:

Well, I've dealt with Chance a bit,,, and I know Mike quite well. Your feelings about them is spot on.

Nice Classic package there.

Very nice FlatTop, you done good.....

10/10 is over rated in my world...I'll never be more than an 8...ok fine 7.....just like all but a few of my Blackhawks.

That's really nice! My favorite Rugers are OM FT's, and your combo looks great!

Very nice, next on my to-get list. Never had a real need for a .44 Mag, the 45 could do anything I needed, but got to round out the OM calibers.

Very nice! Enjoy that one

Great looking combination and once again the members of this forum show their willingness to help others out in realizing their vision and goals.

nice classic look

Thank you all for your comments, it really is a pleasure to hold...AND shoot. I don't have any safe queens and not looking to make this one. I took it out to the range yesterday and had a blast. Literally! The 44 specials felt like I was shooting a .38. The 44 Mag on the other hand was a handful. Quite a kick, but fun nevertheless. Great accuracy with both rounds at 15-25 yards.

Thanks for looking

Very nice!

Beautiful Sanbars - and the SBH ain't so bad either. Color me envious.

That truly is a classic package. Especially with the Sambar Stags (with an M), they are also from the classic 1950s period.

Thanks for the spelling correction, LOL, it really bugs me when I do that!

Very "Special"!

Mike

it might not be a 10, but to me I would call it at least a 9+. It's a beautiful gun and I wish it was mine.

That is nice.

Well I think it looks great and those grips really look good on that gun. I think you did right good and yes the guys on this forum are a good bunch. Wouldn't mind having that one myself.

Exceptional piece. If I could have only one SA revolver, it would be that one.

I'm sitting here meditating on the Tenth Commandment!
