"Hows 'bouts a .44 Special?" asked the toolmaker.
"Naw, lets take these two all the way...All the way to .45 Long Colt!" I sezs.
As the old story goes,"Mister, why do you carry a forty-five?" "Cause Son, they don't make a forty-six!"
Had taken in a few N frame revolvers in trade for leather and such.
Picked up the HD from an ol' bandit up north of here a ways.
You know the nickle revolvers never did appeal to me in my younger years,
but since I'm gettin kinda long in the tooth, it's easier for me to see where I lay 'em down.
Didn't get to haul 'em with me on my lit'l soiree out west week before last...Mabee next time boys.
Wells they ain't as purty as the Double Mint Twins, but they's more my speed anyhows...
This'n started life as a nickle 3 1/2" (Pre-27) had been buffed pretty good and was jest right as a candidate for a bigger bore.
Picked up a early model 29 cylinder, re-chambered and timed 'er up...Just so I could shoot those long nosed cast SWCs.
Added the shorten'd up King Reflector sight, with my own ivory insert.
This one here hatched out as a 5" HD, don't know if it was originally nickle or not.
Had been re-plated sometime and was adorned with some electric pencil etchin'...Scratched around in my desk and found a four inch barrel and sent
it off to the re-bore shop, opened up and rifled to .45 caliber.
Run a chamber reamer in to the original cylinder, had the whole thing nickled, put it all together and shu-zam
got me a handy everyday shooting iron.
Dog robbed some Keith Brown Stocks for 'em...Thinkin' I'll jest be fixed here for a spell.
And too boot...They's both fit my workin rig.
