One more picture. I never get tired of shooting or looking at George's work.

I know this is an old thread but...In 1992 he re-blued my Model 14. After years of holster wear, I was not the first owner, it was looking rather tired. George also smoothed/blued the trigger face and added machine turning to the side of the trigger and hammer. I know this is not in keeping with...

Traded for this today in a LGS. It is a Model 29-5 serial BPT5439. I have a couple of K frames, both with square butts and was surprised to see that this one is rounded. Noticed because it had a nice wood stock but there was a void in the back strap where it curved into the stocks. That was...

Upon graduation we all bought backup guns, mine being a 2 inch Mod 60 Chief's Special. Funny how we felt we were well armed with only...

Thanks for the reply. I plan to shoot it.
