Another one in the works. Was looking to come up with one in 45 that had no ejection. Just a good beat around and woods gun. Grabbed up a nice 45 convertible Blackhawk. So far its coming along and the initial test shooting with the bulk of the hard work done and I love it as a single handed shooter. So far I've test fired with 45 ACP, 45 ACP +P and light and heavy loads in 45 colt. Will have to try out some 45 Super. What I really wanted was a 45 auto revolver and this one happened to come with the colt cylinder to. Perhaps I can also set it up with some long shell shot loads in the 45 colt cylinder and have a 5 cartridge convertible. I think it'll be a keeper....already shortened the mernikle crossdraw holster for the 2 7/8" barrel. A good bit more work to do but its coming along nicely.
List of work so far includes shortening barrel, tapered the front of the cylinder pin, losing ejection system from the barrel, removing ejector loop from the frame, flat top, coltish nose work, starting to round over the top strap (probably more to follow), scallop the recoil shield and loading gate, Bisley hammer, Bisley trigger, indian head nickel front sight and the brass lightning grip frame. Mebby off to the range again this weekend.
I'm thinkin it'll be brown with black cylinders.
