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

[RKmesa]

First of all - Happy Fathers' Day to all you dads out there! Thanks to all of you who take the time and put for the effort to raise good children. Good fathers are in high demand, but short supply. Keep up the good work.

Second: Here are a couple of close-ups of the cylinder. Notice how the engraving where the bolt contacts the cylinder is cut to hide the "cylinder line"... A nice P Quigley touch.

Truly a very neat revolver! It harkens back to another time when men carried and used "fancy" guns on a daily basis. I very much like the engraving.

WOW! Thanks for reminding me of my lack of talent.

Nice,,,,Very nice!

 

[BAM-BAM]

Have a buddy who is currently searching for an engraved Model 60 J-frame to carry..... at first I was like "wow!!"...... then I realized I often carry a PC Shorty 9........

As Les.b said above men have been personalizing their weapons since the "stone age"....... why should we do any less in this...... "plastic age"

Pride in ownership is not a crime ...... or a sin IMHO!!!!!

RK.... how long did it take to get that done? I've got 3 3" 66s.....makes me go Hummmmmm...... a prefect retirement gift????????????????

that is one fine example of the image in the mind taking form through art. outstanding engraving which I normally don't care for. this could change my mind.

However, I'm not crazy about that chopped hammer.

Happy father's Day!!!

Since this is going to be a carry gun, I hope that we are going to see some range reports!! I'll bet it shoots as good as it looks!!

Best Regards, Les

Me too; on both points...... on that gun I'd have kept the full hammer... even though my 3" 65 has the DOA hammer.....I'd have kept it classic.

You know, there's a difference between "customizing with class" (what you did) and this ...

A most terrible thread drift!!!

I like the chopped hammer, seems to go good with the no rear sights. As a carry gun that's what I would want, no hang ups when drawing.

I'd love to know what you think.

Engraving is beautiful.
An expertly engraved carry gun stands up to wear, and can actually be enhanced by it. Wish I had one!

However, I also think the barrel is too long.

Before I got it engraved, the gun spent time at Nelson Fords getting a trigger tune up. It has a very smooth double action trigger pull and I love the way it feels.

There was a time that I would have agreed with you two on the bobbed hammer, and if I ever swing back to that way of thinking, hammers are a pretty easy thing to swap out.

Purdy Gear or Barranti Leather, floral carved, fitting for that Model 13.

Looks amazing!

RK.... how long did it take to get that done? ...

I think that Phil is telling folks that it will be a little over a year to get something done... But call him and he will be able to give you a good estimate...

 

[S&WsRsweet]

Already said but bears repeating ,wow you have great taste in guns and engraving .
