WTB TLA #5 revolver

[green_chile]

Anyone know of one for sale?

 

[Robb Barnes]

Check with Steven Webb on the SA forum. He might still have some for sale.

Hey Robb, it's Bryan. I haven't talked to him in awhile. I will check with him. Thanks.

I knew who was posting, I just didn't know if you wanted your name used

 

[green_chile]

Hah. I don't have his contact info but will go searching for him.

 

[Robb Barnes]

My phone got slammed in my truck door so I lost my contacts if I'd send you his number.

 

[green_chile]

Well...don't do that again.

I'll send you cubrock's number. Check your PM's.

Got the PM. Thanks! TLA is Texas Longhorn Arms. #5 is a single action revolver based upon ideas that Elmer Keith and others had in a series of designs. TLA has a whole story of their own and have been gone for some time now. They had several interesting models but are probably most well known for their #5. Notice that the action is mirror reversed...loading gate and ejector housing on the left side.

That was Steve Webb who is being referenced in this topic. The book was not completed.

Not sure why we are talking about everything but TLA on this thread. Let's keep it on topic please since it's a WTB. Thanks.

Bryan, I have 3 - PM me with caliber and price range. Bought this awhile back on forum - 44M w/Paul Persinger Ivories and extended grips. I also have consecutive S/N'ed dual cylinders - 44M/44Spl and 45LC/45WinMag - maybe only one made???? - I'm in CA and unfortunately would have to go FFL-FFL.
The 44M has been hardness checked by Alan Harper

PM sent. Alan Harton checking a #5 is a good thing. As many of you may know, the metallurgy varied on the TLA's and some were softer than others.

Gun is located. Thanks!
