Apparently this thread was resurrected. I haven't been around much lately but happened to notice some new likes. I should note that I have had some updates on this gun since that post. Namely...this is a factory conversion. I updated the thread about this gun with that information:

Updated: Model 3 DA, Factory Modified in '49, The SWHF is awesome!

The funny thing is that I'm probably going to have to part with quite a bit of my good stuff to fund some of the life stuff keeping me away from the forums.

But this gun? Not a chance. It's top 5 favorite guns I've ever owned, hands down.
