Custom Model 10's

[DGNY]

Just superb! Great raw material, inspired design, high-level execution, brilliant details such as niter blue and choice of grips including gold medallions!

(Thinking your 'Smith soon may need high capacity answering device!)

Thanks for sharing all this with us!

Really love the niter blue small parts.

Strawhat, I like the grip adapters, but they take longer to get than customizing an entire gun! Never really tried them.

ChiefTJS, sent you a PM.

Re: niter blue, that was a treat from the gunsmith! It looks amazing and adds that extra touch!

Already dropped off my next years project. A "mini-me" 3" heavy barrel, round butt J-frame. Ordered the same grips for it just last night. Gunsmith has told me it will be a challenge to shorten the barrel back to the ejector rod due to the location of the front sight slot in the barrel. Can fill that slot and new gold bead sight will go over that area, but will show at the front of the barrel and might take the bluing differently if filled/welded...if that all makes sense. But I have faith in him!

Thanks for all the kind replies guys. I always enjoy them!

Love the Model 10s, don't hack the J frame, will screw up the balance.

The J frame is a 3 inch now isn't it?

Very nice custom work!

I'm not too worried about the balance of the gun. Small chop and they sell it in a snub obviously. Plus I want MY customized gun to be different than someone else .

The smaller frame should have a shorter barrel and be cut at the same location to match the M10....in my mind's eye.

I can't put a piece of plastic on this gun. Would be an issue for me but appreciate the suggestion from a NE Ohioan.

Agree. Love BK adapters, but this gun is deserving

I've always wondered if someone, (Ken, Pat?) could try to make one in antler to go with their grips. Probably be $200 just for an adaptor, but it would be unique.
