Yes she is. The gun, not so much. Bit of a cyl. lock drag line going on there.

That jeweled hammer ruins it's looks, too gaudy.

Lil Red is a doll! All the gun needs are some chandeliers hanging from it...

I agree the hammer takes away, but that is easily swapped

Not a fan of engraving or the hammer jeweling. Different strokes for different folks. Oh, and about the lady, she doesn't hold a candle to my wife.

(I never know when she is reading over my shoulder.) :wink:

There was a lot of work done to it, that's for sure.

Personally, it doesn't do anything for me. I'd rather apply that kind of money to something more practical.

You know, like a Linebaugh custom 5-shot or some such.

I bet that was someone's favorite revolver back in the day. The case is very handsome, to my thinking, and the revolver, if a bit over-the-top, shows much devotion to detail. I agree, the hammer could be replaced.

Someone will cherish this package, I trust.

You should buy it you have a safe to stick it into and when Chandler turns 21 it would make a start on a collection for him. It just doesn't turn me on I want using guns not safe queens. I've had several through the years and they are all gone. I don't own guns to look at I own them to use.

Nice gun but I agree the jeweled hammer takes it over the edge. I don,t care for that jeweled look even bolt actions just doesn't do it for me.

 

[Snake45]

WAY too gaudy for my tastes.

 

[flatgate]

The "relief" is amazing. The hammer distracts from the rest of the gun, for sure! I also think that the lack of engraving on the sides of the grip frame detracts from the "completeness" of the work.

Sally doesn't reveal the serial number! Rats!

JMHO,

I'm with those that just aren't enamored with this thing. I'm not one for wide coverage engraving at all and the jeweling is just hideous IMO. To each their own though. Add the two sets of fugly grips and it's really nothing I'd ever consider.

 

[ledyard]

Never paid much attention to stuff like that. I actually really like the way it looks. I have to say the hammer ruins the entire gun. its like putting a "honk if your horny" hot pink bumper sticker on a 1924 Rolls Royce Gray Ghost.
I could never justify buying a shelf queen though at this point in my life.

I cant imagine what it would cost nowadays to get that type of job done. Or finding someone to do it. :shock:

Oh that cylinder lock drag thing is from some one who does not know how to handle a single action. I've seen a few like that. Venturino has a good article on it from a few years ago. He says what I have learned the hard way and that is the hammer goes all the way back before it goes forward. Do it this way and they'll develop that line only when something is wrong. I have gotten to the point now where any one whom I'm not sure whether or not they know, is asked not to work the action.
Oh the gun and gal just aren't my speed. Never cared for a gun that was too pretty to shoot. I feel that is the only way to honor a fine weapon, shoot it a bunch, shoot it more, rinse and repeat.
