The Ruger Rainmaker.

[Wyandot Jim]

Hey Guys,
Here is the Ruger Rainmaker. I got these grip frames from a RF member.
Since I didn't know much about them Kolts I did a little research. Very little I might add. Who really cares about Kolts? :roll:
Anyway there DOUBLE actions with this funny frame was called the Rainmaker in 32 Colt, Lightning in 38 Long Colt and Thunderer in 41 Colt.
Neat fer sure ya had rain, lightning, and thunder.
Since these are 32 Single-Sixs that makes them the Rainmaker.
Enjoy,
Jim

Jim, you've got to spend more time trout fishing so some of the rest of us can find a gun once in a while! :wink:

Always kind of liked the look of those grip frames, and putting them on the 32 would be a perfect union

Those turned out neat Jim. Keep the pair together for sure.

Take care,

Jim, those are pretty neat! Are those grip frames custom builds or what?

Rob,
There is a vendor that makes them, but I don't know who.
I got these from a RF member.
Thanks,
Jim

John Wesley Hardin and Doc Holliday both carried Lightnings, if anyone wanted to know.
