I've been promising my friends here some pics of this for a very long time. I finally made some today.
When I acquired this gun is was a tired looking, scuffed up 4" 581. My favorite S&W revos are fixed sight models and I couldn't resist this (my second) 581 "find". It didn't appear to have been shot much, but looked like it had been knocked around a little and not cared for very much. The perfect candidate for a really cool custom. I decided to send it to Mark Hartshorn. Asked him to cut the barrel to 3", recrown, cut the butt from square to round, install a gold-bead front sight, bevel the cylinder edges, polish, deep re-blue, and give it a dreamy, buttery, light trigger pull. Finished off with a pair of my very favorite revolver grips... Kim Ahrend's finger-groove grips. All was done and the result is a magnificent gun, as beautiful shooting as it looks. With the weight and strength of the L-frame is shoots like a Cadillac-6-shooter. Now one of my most treasured S&W revos.
