Flattop 44 Special

[Lee Martin]

I already had one, but this .44 Special came along at a price I couldn't pass up. Minor tweaks include:

1) Lighter trigger spring
2) Trigger job
3) #5 basepin
4) White grips with OM emblems (had these on the shelf for 2 - 3 years. Glad to finally use them)

It would be hard to pass that one up. I like it.

Very nice!

While I've seen many pics of your detailed work,, this simpler set-up is also very nice. And being smart enough to not pass up a sweet deal,,, well heck,, that's just good plain horse sense!

I just recently picked up a very nice Ruger stainless Flattop 44 Special 4-5/8". I think your's my have the edge. It's really nice.

Thanks for showing yours! 8)

Enjoyed the picture...
I also use that same revolver. Typical load for me is the well known (Skeeter Skelton) 250 gr. Lyman Keith over 7.5 gr. of Unique. It prints a might high for my liking but I've been managing for years now. That said, I finally aquired some 200 gr. Speer Gold Dots and loading them is next on my project list for this revolver. There's also a higher front sight from Dick Thompson that's been sitting on the bench for way too long.

Very nice Mr. Martin.
Looking back through old threads I came across this one and now have a few ideas that I might try on mine.

Definitely drool worthy!
