I’m sorta wondering if they will come out with a Bearcat done in Wrangler style.

Its got a bit of color to it. I almost feel guilty about swapping grip frames. Almost. 😎

There’s a few on EBay too. I may just take a chance.

I should have given you pictorial credit. My bad. Sorry.

Last week I was half heartedly looking at GB auctions for a Single Six to install my new Martin Hybrid grip frame from Ronnie Wells. The plan was a long barrel…but then I found a 6 1/2” barrel OM. 1964. Starting bid was $225, BIN was $325. There were only 2 pictures from a distance, so I asked...

I was given a 1957 622 with a 6" barrel a while back. It's the basic pull-pin cylinder model. Built like a tank- but the grip is really too small for me. I wonder if the trigger guards are swappable- the one with the web to relocate your grip looks like it might help. This style- This is mine-

I just double checked. Sometimes stuff shows up in pictures that we don’t readily see with the naked eye. However, luckily this isn’t the case. I had just wiped this down with a silicone cloth and that was smears that reflected. No blemish there.

That modeling clay mold is a great idea!

I agree with wanting to do it myself. I have a hard time not finding flaws or shortcomings in projects that I don't do myself. The grip frame to main frame is the easy part- it just requires precision. The contours of the grip panels and the front and back straps and trigger guard require more...

So- this might be a really silly question but I just received the LOA on my 2013 flat top NM Blackhawk .44 SPCL. I'll attach a picture. Is the frame marked in any way to indicate that it's blemished? What can "blemished" normally encompass? I can't see anything that would be considered a...

I know Ronnie Wells used to charge $150 to fit one of his grip frames. After installing several, this is a bargain. I'm sure Contender will agree… By the time I have a grip frame installed- mostly by hand sanding so I don't have to reblue the main frame- and then finish contouring and finishing...

Forgot to add- I love the plum color! I have a pretty vibrant plum from 1965- it’s one of my favorites!
