Picked up this Gary Reeder conversion at a local auction.
Began life as a standard 22LR Bearcat. Cylinder and barrel were replaced to convert it to 22 Magnum, grip frame was contoured and then the whole thing was finished in hard chrome.

I think I had seen that little thing was coming up for sale. Thought about attending the auction. Nice score. Good to see someone on here got it.

I paid less than a third of what the original owner would have paid for the conversion and base gun, so I think I did OK.

That front sight is particularly nice. I like it!

Is it just a reflection? Why is the hammer black on one side (top picture) and hard chromed on the other? (The bottom picture)

The hammer is actually shiny on both sides, but it's just the way the light is hitting it.
