USFA 44 Special Questions

I was only joking. I was a big Bob Munden fan. My wife thought he bragged too much. I’d tell her it ain’t bragging if you can do it. Bob could do it.

Your revolver is a prize indeed.

I knew you were kidding

I have a couple of half dollars (I think) that Bob shot in the air out in Montana. Pretty cool stuff.

Yes Bob had a big EGO, but he had a HUGE talent to back it up with.

Greg--that's a beautiful revolver and if it were mine I wouldn't remove the signature on the backstrap, since it was also ordered with the custom serial number.

Are you familiar with genuine elephant ivory? The grips may be tru-ivory as some have mentioned, but if it's genuine elephant ivory what you paid for the gun would just about cover the cost of new ivory grips, IF you could get them. Look for "Schreger" lines on the butt of the grips, although that's not a guarantee that the ivory is genuine elephant.

The last local gun show we had was in March 2020, literally just a day before the city and state shut down because of the virus. A CAS shooter had 2 pair of USFA revolvers for sale--a consecutively numbered pair of .45 Rodeos with the matte finish and this gorgeous pair of .38s, also consecutively numbered and tuned by "Long Hunter." Unbelievably, the pair of .38s didn't sell (it was actually very underpriced, the .45's sold for a bit more than the .38s) and a month later I traded a SIG 210 for the pair of .38's All I have is this crappy cell phone picture, but the guns are beautiful! One of these days I'll take them out and shoot them.

These aren’t ivory grips. I have an old Remington with ivory grips, so I know what they should look and feel like.

That is a pretty pair of 38s!
