That TL 44 Outdoorsman is the epitome of taking a lemon, actually two lemons, and turning them into lemonade!

One of the greatest enjoyments of this hobby is taking apparently junk guns and not only bringing them back to life, but as a true anachronism.

Sometimes in the process we upgrade an older model with newer design technology such as a heat treated cyl, ribbed barrel, different grip frame shape, etc.

But in this case Dave has upgraded a newer model with "old" design technology, the TL middle lock and TL short throw hammer. And upgraded the old TL design with a side plate hammer block safety. A true work of art!
