how about a N-Frame grip and leather show

Love this thread

I had to sell all my guns except my G26 EDC because I was short on funds, but I still love looking at yours!
 
A friend of mine's truck wears a bumper sticker on its bumper:

"I wasn't born in Wyoming, but I got here as soon as I could."

That's every bit the way I feel about this forum so I'm resurrecting an older thread to share a special rig. A cowboy named Andy--somewhere in his late 70s or so--ran the Longhorn Saddle Shop while I was attending the University of Wyoming (post Air Force). He measured and made this rig for me. For many years he also made the white leather outfits worn by the ladies of the Cheyenne Frontier Days. Andy's gone now (RIP), but his memory lives on for those of us lucky enough to have a piece of his work.

M 629-3 Classic DX with NILL's in a PWL #1011



M 29-2 with HOGUE ROSEWOOD in a Harry Maacken Cross Draw



2 more pictures from the NILL's, the first pic didn't justify them:






Better wood with special screw (double sided screw head with slot and rosette).
They are so precisely CNC-machined, that it is a little tricky, to remove them
without damaging (also my first post ever).

His last name was Hysong. I spent quite a bit of time in his shop in West Laramie back when I was a Laramie cop and Highway Patrolman.

Yip, that was him. Sort of thought you might have been acquainted. Terrific gentleman. Always loved the leather smell in his shop and admired all those old stirrups he had hanging everywhere. I picked up an old pair of fringed chinks from him that had belonged to a rancher from sw of Laramie. They're battle tested and still in great shape.

I wore Andy's rig most of the day today, stomping around the hills with the pooches.
