Default Nice wood and leather work

You appear to be quite the craftsman, Dave.357. Very nice job with the bamboo faux Coke Bottle stocks, and with the leather work, too. I'd like to see what you could do with some nice walnut, rosewood, or curly maple. Ask your wife to keep her eyes open for wood blanks at yard sales!

Like the improvements on the Patridge sight and the smooth polished trigger.
That's a righteous carrying and using revolver.
Exc taste all around buddy.

Please tell me you do not make your guns sleep in a cold truck overnight!

I'll go buy you a .357 6 inch new for that old truck gun of yours. How did you make the grips, did you free hand the palm swells? Very nice.

I'm not admitting I have a Python, but if I did, it does feel good in my hand. It might be the handgun I used when taking my concealed carry class.

Check For Sale section before you start a-cuttin'. Member recently posted an N frame holster that was cut down for a 5" barrel.

PM me of 6 1/2" barreled holster availability as my truck gun likes to ride in a car seat.

Never lock my truck and never leave a gun
Unattended. Gun sleeps where I sleep.

Too nice to be a truck gun, in my opinion. At least not in my truck.

To the man who has a 5" M 27 as a truck gun, I really want to see what he has in the house that is in the safe. That dune buggy gun looks interesting. Whats on the night stand?

Dave 357 You're not alone I've gotten grief for carrying my 3" 66 with Spegel Grips into Penn's Woods.

I've got a +90% 4" 27 that has been afield ( former Police gun I was told)..... nice enough to be proud of but not so nice you won't take it where you need it!
