"I Mean Business!" - a 3" 13-2 Engraved to Carry

[RKmesa]

Some of you know that I love engraved 357s. However, most of my engraved guns fall into the pre 1980 forums and have become safe queens. However, this post 1980 357 is a serious "business gun" that I commissioned to be engraved by Phil Quigley. He and I talked concept and that I DO intend to carry this gun and therefore, I wanted an engraving pattern that would "silver" nicely as it was pulled in and out of a holster. I could not be more happy with what he delivered...





It is a recessed, but not pinned 13-2. I'd love to know what you think.

Thanks for letting me share,

A revolver that is near if not at the Pinnacle of form and function for a carry gun with class !

I think it's a fine looking revolver, all business!!

You're going to need leather to match the gun.
Maybe a holster and a belt.

A revolver that is customized by it's owner is rare these days and that's a shame. A guy will drop in a trigger in a Glock and call it custom.

I hope you carry and shoot it enough to wear it smooth on the high spots!

Some say you shouldn't carry a nice gun in case you lose it to an evidence locker after a defensive use. I disagree, I like to enjoy a fine carry piece. I can't imagine a gun I'd rather carry than this one. This a highly tasteful work, and I hope you enjoy carrying it. Once you have an equally exquisite holster, please post photos of the rig. Thanks for sharing.

What a perfect marriage of form and function. A fine choice for a self defense revolver, and beautifully engraved....it will wear and age to be even more beautiful.

What a great concept, and perfectly executed. Carry it daily, and show us how it ages!!

In olden days, gentlemen carried beautifully engraved and adorned swords, pistols and othe personal weapons. What a great idea to return to those gracious days of old!!

Best Regards, Les

Wow, just wow!! That is an amazing piece! I'd be honored to carry it. The heavy barrel made for a great canvas. Thanks for showing it off and adding the extra pics. (I was fixing to ask for em!)

I don't like engraved guns as a rule, but I make an exception for this work of art! Very, very nice.

Very, very nice!

I don't own an engraved revolver or pistol and normally not interested in owning one. However yours is beautiful and the engraving looks functional (does that make sense?) anyway I love everything about it and would carry it in a heartbeat. Love the Combats.

This is great. A stunning carry gun. Well done.

Mine is the equivalent of a "before" picture [emoji4]

Most of us will never pull our guns in anger................. but we will go to a BBQ!!!!!!
