Thank you, gentlemen, I appreciate the information. Rare or not, this one's a shooter. No trouble ringing my 75-yard steel plate right out of the box, but I haven't put it on paper yet.

I found a Ruger under the Christmas tree that I'm not sure I even knew existed. It's a KSSM-5/06518 -- satin stainless, 5.5", adjustable sighted 32 H&R Mag Single Six, serial no. 650-57217. This is right up my alley -- I'm not sure how it slipped past my radar. Were these a distributor...

Here's another example:

I've got a drawing in front of me that is purported to be a Ruger blueprint. No way to verify it, but it shows the far edge of the notch at 0.150" from the centerline, and the notch width at .093". Both dimensions are +/- .001".

I can't add much to what's been said, and certainly couldn't do it as eloquently. I first met Mr. Charlie in the Spring of '04 at the CSA shoot in Greenville MS. I remember him handing his one-of-a-kind, ivory-stocked single-six 32-20 to this green kid he didn't know from Adam. Since...

The grip hardware was an experiment of his. This is a poor picture, but shows the only visible hardware: I don't have the gun handy to take more pictures, but I'll try to describe it. That screw threads through one side of a collar inlet into the back side of that panel. There's a post...

Jim, My brother made those for me. He also made the steel ERH on that little gun. Here's the other side -- notice anything missing?

These don't extend as far forward as you're wanting, but I think the general idea is the same. They've got a disk on the backside, just like a set of S&W grips.

I secured a piece of brass about a quarter of an inch thick to the top of the front sight of the gun I used to form the holster.

Finished these up over the weekend for a customer that decided he doesn't want them. Both for a 4" GP100, 1.5" belt loop with a moderate FBI cant. Either one is $75 delivered; trade offers considered as well. Click the pictures for larger versions.

I'm glad you're happy with it, Curt. Gentlemen, I appreciate the kind words. Mike is a pretty good guy himself, and I can only aspire to the quality of his work.

Yes, sir. It matches up with everybody's spring break this year, so the whole family should be there. Definitely looking forward to it!

Thanks for the kind words, Rob and Zeus. Mike -- I don't believe we've met, but if I'm not mistaken, your son was at my house not too long ago.

I believe UPS policy has changed. The last handgun I shipped (as an individual) went 2nd day air (with plenty of insurance). I specifically asked the guy behind the counter about the overnight rule for handguns, and he said that was no longer in force -- that 2nd day air was now acceptable for...

I've got a Bausch & Lomb pistol scope with the Ruger logo on one of the caps. It came with a SRH package from Davidson's in the late 80's. 7.5" SRH w/ scope in a hard-sided briefcase. Got it for Christmas from Mom & Dad when I was 13.
