Custom Gunkote Finish OD
The "Bounty Hunter" is a matte finished 3" M29-10 with Pachmayer grips at birth. This one is colored to match a couple Wilson guns he had. Gunkote is a tough baked on enamel, also have an early Chinese preban AK47 in black gunkote, jillion rounds of corrosive through it over the last 9 yrs, finish is solid.
The trigger Magnaport did on this is simply the best revolver DA I have felt in 20+ years of gunwhoring, perfection.
