.44 spl. Pic Request!

[Three50seven]

I have a .44 spl. flattop on the way (waiting very impatiently) and would love to see some pics of what you guys have done to yours. I know I would like to put some different grips on mine (considering making my own) and possibly also a SBH hammer. So let's see those beauties!!

Try--search---44 special---gallery = 9 pgs of pics.

Some fairly common parts exchanges and simple "do-it-yourself" modifications to improve function for personalized preference.
New FT 44 Spl with Montado stainless hammer and grip frame and tuned.

Which now has these grips:

 

[Three50seven]

I love it! Did the hammer require any fitting or did it just drop in?

 

[Hondo44]

Drop in, they are both midsize frames. And the usual fitting needed around the grip frame ears and base of hammer wasn't needed since they came together on the Montado.

Oh, and it has a SBH grooved trigger.

 

[Three50seven]

Cool, thanks

Awesome! Lee- Who made the grips?

 

[Lee Martin]

Thanks. Cary Chapman cut the panels for the blued flattop and OM conversion. Carl Schultz did the walnuts on the stainless flattop.

 

[Three50seven]

All three sets look great. Definitely something i'll have to do to mine, if it ever comes in!!

 

[Lee Martin]

So what barrel length did you order?

To save money, do not buy any of Taffin's books. Or look at pics like this.

[BearBio]

Nothing special (pun!). Grips by Executioner (Patrick Grashorn):

Looks pretty speical to me. Stag on blue is timeless.

here's a some pics of brother Bill's 44 spl he did all the work himself!

 

[Rclark]

Just one of my humble .44Spec flattops. But they sure do shoot! :

 

[Three50seven]

Maybe this was a bad idea....making me even more impatient!

 

[Cholo]

You didn't say it had to be a Ruger :lol:

That's cool, a 3rd gen Colt 5 1/2" barrel and Colt ejector rod. Very creative!

 

[Hondo44]

That's right, he didn't say they had to be Rugers:

 

[Three50seven]

That's true, all are welcome! I enjoy a good Colt or S&W as much as the next guy!

One of my Special's.
