Patrick is a pleasure to deal with.I called him yesterday and my grips were finished today.I told him how my gun was being "Python Blued" by Colt and gave him Carte Blanche as to selection of material,graining,ect.My only requests were that they extended past the frame as in his pictures and inclusion of the Colt Medalions.The worst thing to do is hamper a true artist,I just said you are the artist make them the way you think they should look.Found out today the Detective Special is ready to ship from Colt and the grips are going out today.I am like a little kid at christmas.Pics will be forthcomming asap.Thanks for the recomendation.....Mike
