Hewe are some of mine that, though, do not fit in the BBQ mode of custom, have all had the hand of a good gunsmith caress them.

This originally started out as a 80's vintage Springfield GI model. Frame tightened, slide fit, mainspring housing reshaped and stippled, mag well beveled, beaver-tail safety fit, ambi safety fit, trigger job to 4 lbs, Bowmar sights fit, front strap and front of trigger guard stippled, top of slide stippled, frame metaloyed, slide blued. Ejection port relieved, and a Chip McCormick titanium hammer fit. I did all the work except milling the slide for the Bowmars, and the metaloy finish and the bluing.

This High Standard Victor has had a Falcon barrel added with weaver rib and a Red Dot sight and a set of Vitarbo custom grips made to my hand print added.

Not a true custom, but a pretty rare Commander National Match fitted with Ivory grips, ambi safety, and Micro sights--

A Second Model .44 Target upgraded with post-war sight--

A First Generation SAA Colt customized ala Elmer Keith by (I believe) Croft/Hutchins/Sedgely way back when, reportedly owned by Keith's pal Al Ellinger. The cylinder is a replacement and the engraving was done by a Forum member a while back--

A Pre-64 Model 70 in 300 H&H that I restocked from a block and lightly customized, many years ago--

A Beretta 70S that I built frame-up because I wanted a steel-frame fixed-sight gun and they weren't imported that way--

An engraved (by whom, I don't know) Pre- Model 24 wearing non-relieved smooth Cokes--

Here's a Nice PPC built on a model 15 frame. Use it in an 8 week double action only match at the local club. Very accurate, life is good. Larry

I've shown these before, but what the hell......

1964 Clark Longslide .45acp
Built in the days before the were any pre-made 6" slides avalible. This is actually two slides cut and welded together with a handmade custom barrel. Even after 50 years it still locks up like a bank vault, has a trigger that must be felt to be believed and is far more accurate than I'll ever be.

Model 28 .45 Colt Snubbie
This is one of my own creations. I started with a bare nekkid Model 28-2 frame, found a 25-5 cylinder and a Model 25-2 barrel. I cut both ends of the barrel and put the whole thing together myself.

I'll toss another one into the fray. This is a 5 shot 414 Supermag I had Alan Harton build. I wanted it to be able to use a Lovell scope mount for a Freedoms Arms so I sent him my Model 83 41 mag and Alan rebuilt the top strap to match it perfectly. He also did the octagon barrel, bisley conversion and the CCH coloring as well as the cocabola grips.

Love all the ideas we have for customizing our guns.

I always wanted a single shot of some sort for offhand shooting and couldn't sell my Contender for a reasonable price. I found a 10" .22 bbl and there is no .32 long bbl that was made. Called MGM barrels and will order a 6" barrel in .32 long this week. Don't need any of the other 32's or the power or speed. I'll see if they can make the chamber short so the bullet engages the rifling when it's inserted. I'll post pics when I get it, Larry

This one is Novak/Joe Bonar built Colt 1991A1 Commander, it's all business and a great carry gun.

awesome cmdr

Joe Bonar was a genius. I had two of his creations, his son works for Wayne. They do great work....To bad Joe left us...He was great.

My lightly tweaked Series 70. Clark Custom Guns did the bottom; extended safety, beavertail grip safety, trigger job, and stippling (LOVE that Clark stippling). A gunsmith whose name I forget, and who has since retired, worked out of San Antonio and did the sight installation. It's been shot a lot and that sight hasn't budged. The spare slide has night sights on it if I need them. This is my 'go to' handgun if I ever need one.

Wilson Combat updated Colt Combat Elite .45 ACP

Alan Harton built 10mm Ruger Vaquero w/J-Frame sights

Jim Clark built Colt .38 SPL Kit

Another to add to the Clark custom's.
This one a Clark Model 61-S built using a Colt .38 SPL Kit. Built in August 1966. This pic shows the non original trigger which has since been replaced with a stock Colt steel short trigger to bring it back to as built.

This is the finished product after sending a period correct trigger to Clark Custom for the installation of an over travel screw and locating period correct stocks.

Toss another one into the thread. Original framed bisley vaquero with octagon barrel and Clements S&W style sights. Benn Forkin installed the barrel and rebored the 357 Maximum cylinder to a tight, long cylinder 45 Colt and sent the frame off to Turnbull for coloring. Roy Fishpaw did the musk ox horn grips.

rbrbrb6 · Mar 8, 2014

This one started life as a 6 1/2" Ruger flat top 44 magnum old model. Jim Stroh did the barrel shortening, action work and metal detail work including installing his front sight and fitting the Clements bisley spurred hammer. He also installed the Powers two piece steel gripframe. Jim sent the gun off to Nutmeg Sports where the one piece ivories were installed.

Hope we can see some more of the guns we had re-done to something we always wanted. There has to be more custom guns out there. Lot of nice guns displayed so far, Larry.
