And then there were 2.

[Plain Old Dave]

4 really, counting my 41 Mag BH and 45 Colt Bisley Vaquero, but 2 Single-Sixes.

Old Model: 6 1/2" barrel, drift adjustable backsight, 22 S/L/LR.
New Model: 6 1/2" barrel, click adjustable backsight, 22 Magnum.

In a quandary. While I like the 4-clicker, the grip's escutcheon was pulled in by overtightening and the piece's pretty rough. On the other hand, it DOES have a proper halfcock notch.

Is there anybody on the forum that fixes grips? I am thinking about just keeping both and having the cylinder on the OMSS beveled and the whole gun refinished, cerrakoted frame and a good blue on the frame. Maybe CCH the hammer.

Suggestions? Floor's open.

pulled through, split wood on the back of the wood grips is an easy 'fix'.......clean off any excess oil, and squirt a bit of GOOD wood glue into and around the wood splits, and put a piece of wax paper on the back side, (flat) and pad the outside (curve) with some old leather piece and put into a bench vise and squeeze it nice and tight ( NOT that tight that you collapse the wood!!) let sit over night and clean off the excess glue, and the hole, and you are ready to go.....if one overtightens things, you should think about putting a small aluminum "spacer" (hollow tubing)in between the grips............
