Thanks Ale-8(1). Very interesting!

OK fellers here is the info I have. Finally was put up for auction again on Gunbroker. Item #888146598. No maker is listed, only the seller, NC Ordinance in Wilson NC. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/888146598. I'll write to them asking about the maker and whether the grip panels are the same...

I would only change this statement to Old Model Blackhawk, with the original Standard 22 autoloader and Old Model Single Six 'knockin' at the door'

I've noticed on eBay lately a "Lightning" style brass birdshead grip frame for the Blackhawk from an independent maker. Has anyone had experience with this frame on a blackhawk? Back when we heard Ruger was going to produce a Birds head grip this is what I was hoping for but alas we know how...

Very impressive!

Gunman, at one time I had several Mausers including the Argentine, 98-K98 and Spanish 1916 which was a slightly modified 1893. A local dealer had a taller front sight to fit the Mausers for those who preferred to shoot factory ammo or their own handlolds that corrected the high POI. Alas, most...

Ruger KP90DC, Smith 2.0 .45 but going back to a revolver.

You have a PM

Appreciate the help G2 and Weaslemeatgravy Was thinking they would interchange. Looks like just removing a small amount from the top of the large frame hammer would work.

After using the Search feature and not finding my answer, I turn to you for your help. Are all the internals of a Medium Frame, i.e. OM 357, interchangeable with all the parts of an OM Large Frame and vice-a-vice. I need to have built one more .45 on a Medium Frame. Thanks for your help!

Getting older, the arthritis is getting worse, arms are getting weaker to the point that I can no longer rack the slide on my KP90DC. For those of you who have both, is the P89 easier to rack than the P90? I am really more comfortable shooting a hammer fired pistol than a striker fired and see...

Thank you sir for sharing a few minutes of your time with us!

Lots of good advice above. A couple other things to consider, with Contender mentioning the golfers glove is bikers gloves. A friend bought a pair and gave me the left one. After trimming it, opening the back side, shortening a couple of fingers, it did pretty well. I've given up the big...
