[JSam]

Here's one I've never seen or heard of.
I'm sure some of you more experienced members have though.

Ran across it on our local online classifieds.
Thought someone might be interested. Seems like a good deal.

Andy Cannon started gunsmithing in New England and became acquainted with Massad Ayoob. I guess he built a gun for Ayoob who was impressed and helped him perfect his gunsmithing. As I recall originally he was a game warden. He later moved to Montana near Flathead Lake in Polson and had a shop there working on Colts, S&W's, Rugers and other revolvers and expanded and hired some help which is the undoing of many shops. Eventually, I think he became a sheriff's detective there and passed away a number of years ago. One gun he was noted for was the "Street L" on a S&W model. The .454 RH was another of his creations.

I had a S&W model 19,(357) 6" he worked over along with a model 17, (22LR) and boy were they smooth guns. Shot like a dream and very accurate.
Anything he worked on was a vast improvement over what it was.
If you are interested buy it you won't be disappointed. I'm surprised his stuff hasn't become collectible yet.
