My Post, quite possibly a 'play it again Sam'! I've posted it various places! Got the Modif .41 from Bill Davis Co. in Sacramento, Ca. O/C, from his storefront and represented as his modif work. Davis a seventies era champion competitive PPC shooter. Got into making some pretty exotic PPC type-modified revolvers. Big reputation.
Some lore about making two of these .41 "Combat Masterpiece- esque" pieces as samples for CHP. Don't remember exactly the 'lore'. As saying; bought the gun, not the story. 'It', certainly not mainstream for his work and presumably needing some good reason for essentially recreating an 'almost' Model 57. Seeming functionally superfluous considering all work involved! For me, uniqueness & decent average Mod 58 price, reeling me in. Still appreciating...
