Greetings fellow 45 caliber Smith fans. It has been a busy summer in the Frame household for 45 Caliber collecting.

A couple of weeks ago I bit the bullet and emptied the piggy bank and bought the Clements custom gun 45 Colt
converted Heavy Duty from fellow forum member Lentuck.

The Keith Brown stocks are special but too big for me so I fitted a pair of old stag grips that have been oversize
on every post war gun I've tried them on.
They fit perfectly, and match the character of this 80 year old Heavy Duty.

So, I went to the range and shot it. And aside from a sight adjustment it
performed perfectly. A true testimonial to the man David Clements.

Here are the pictures of the H.D. and his contemporary descendants, the model 25s, all in 45 Colt ctg.
And the model 26-1 ,the other 5" tapered barrel 45 Colt Smith.


May all YOUR 45 caliber dreams come true.

Love that Clements gun. I could've had it, saw it just after it was posted, just didn't have the scratch.:( Congratulations on your new gem.
 
I've said this before but those sixguns deserve it....SIMPLY STUNNING.
 
One can never have to many 45's. Really neat group of revolvers. Joe.
 
It's good to see a man who knows what he likes and likes what he knows.

Great collection!
 
Nice revolver! I presume Mr. Clements uses the same small body reamers that are used with the five shot cylinders? Does Clements re-bore the barrel himself or does he have somebody else do it? I understand few gunsmiths are capable of doing this kind of work. Also, how is the front sight base attached to the barrel?

I have a Redhawk that was converted by Bowen, and frankly I like yours more. If I had it to do all over again, I'd convert an N Frame Smith. Still, there's nothing quite like a .45 Colt revolver with perfect bore and cylinder throat dimensions.
