Revolver Smith recommendation in Houston area
I live just east of Houston. Have a couple Smiths I'd like to have some work done on. Anyone have first person, positive experience with a good revolver smith in the area. Recommendations please.
If there are none in Houston, perhaps someone can recommend someone elsewhere in the state. Good excuse for a road trip!
Thanks

Not in Houston, and not personal experience, but two gunsmith outfits that get national acclaim and might be a decent road trip are LSG, Mfg and Ten Ring Precision.
Ten Ring Precision | Custom Guns Based in San Antonio
LSG, Mfg|Gun Parts|Warranty|Gunsmithing
LSG was up until last year a S&W warranty repair station; they know S&Ws backwards and forwards.

All mine down there are either retired or deceased. Sorry not much help but there may be a light off in the darkness. I do have an FFL in Houston, on Monday I can reach out to him. hardcase60

The fella's name is Alan Harton, & I believe his business name in Houston, is Single Action Service:
Alan Harton
713-772-8314
Renowned for his custom SAA's, & such, but has been known to work on DA's, as well.
Don't think he's got a web site, but here's a review:
Alan Harton Custom Keith Number Five 44 Special Revolver from Single Action Service

I have a number of Harton built single action Ruger's as well as a 5" M29-2 44 Mag and a 4" 38 WCF M28 Highway Patrolman. If you can get him to take on the work you will find no better. That said, he is busy and slowing down a bit given my last visit to his shop.
