There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Montado hammer, C. Schultz black micarta.

NICE! I oddly (not my usual tatse) like the grips with the old medallion - nice contrast. :)

I SOOOO wish there was enough demand and they went ahead with the longer bbl models. 5 1/2" or 6 1/2" and I'd have jumped...maybe twice. :(

The Montado hammer was a really nice touch.....slick gun.

 

[rugerguy]

wow, indeed , a very NICE 'contrast' we like it............

[oregon73]

If I was rich, I'd buy every .44 Special in every finish, style, and barrel length that Ruger makes!

Your's is stunning! Congrats!

 

[gunman42782]

That is one sweet .44 Special!

 

[operator]

Looks fine to me!!!! Like the dark grips on SS Operator

 

[BearStopper]

How is the stock trigger on those? I am debating getting one if there is a smith who can doll up the trigger. The alternative is convert an OM 357 for an improved trigger,but I prefer an all steel gun to the aluminum gripframes found on the OM's.

Aggie, I dont have one of the stainless shorty 44 spec Rugers YET.....but I will. That one is a dandy!

Bearstopper, I would love to know more about how you got that handle. You can fit a steel grip frame to your OM's easily enough if they are your preference. However, Clements, Harton, Stroh, and Bowens shop will all turn you out a superbly tuned NM trigger.

Beautiful piece! Does the Montado hammer slip right in or are modications necesary?

 

[Aggie01]

A montado hammer SHOULD drop in no problem.
This one didn't. Not doing a how to or a blow by blow in the gallery section. I may do a how to or a blow by blow in ruger smithing once i forget how angry I got or if enough people seem interested.
