***had to add 1 more photo. I just received my Tom Threepersons holster from El Paso Sadderly. It looks great and the workmanship is superb!
Just got my new American Holly grips from Carl Schultz. They are absolutely beautiful and workmanship is superb. I ask Carl to make them as yellow as possible, sort of an aged ivory color. I think he pulled it off very well. I just may have to order a set for my 357 now.
Thanks Carl, they look great!
An added update!! I was headed out to burn about 150 rounds through this revolver today when the bottom fell out, a chunk floater. So, I dis-assembled the 44, cleaned in throughly, polished the bearing surfaces, Oh ever so slightly. I lubed it with some Brownells action lube, bent the trigger return spring and re-assembled. The difference was very noticable, trigger was very much improved. It already had a fairly crisp let-off, but had some gritty feeling creep. That is gone now and I think just the cleaning did that.
I already have a fairly pronounced cylinder ring and I do not care! I am sorta hoping I get a little bluing wear on the edges soon. This is going to be a working gun and I like the look of a working gun. Those "aged" SA's coming out of Italy are some of my favorites. I have entertained the idea, but I won't.
