If A Man Can Dream It....An RM Story

[RKmesa]

SPECTACULAR!!!

Dave:

I love that you share your projects with the rest of us. Although there is now one less pre-war 357 in the world today, I would not complain too loudly if'n that 44 wanted to come live in my safe. BUT, I may have to separate it from the other RM's on account that there may be a brawl break out...

Thanks again for sharing,

(so's the girl).

She must be good, I hear three part harmony with only one singer!

 

[Wyo]

My goodness! You got 'er done! I am lookin' forward to seein' it but fair warnin' - I have its cousin in Colt 45, and ya might hafta fight me to get it back if I ever git my hands on it! The two of 'em would make a world-class pair!

 

[bamabiker]

Dave, that looks great. I saw where you said you cut the barrel back so it would fit your carry holsters but I think that one deserves something special wrapped around it.
Be sure to include pictures if you decide to cobble one up.

Wyo,

Ya know, I see these things in my minds eye long before any action takes place.

Course the 44 Special is a family tradition around my camp.

A lit'l side story

A few years ago, we were attending a small country church and during announcements
the preacher would recognize those in attendance who would be celebrating a birthday or such events...

Well my darling wife was having a birthday that very day.
The preacher asked her if she would like to tell how old she might be...With a quick glance at yours-truly,
she proudly announced she was 44 & Special.

Simply said, it really doesn't get any better than that. You've got more than a Smith & Wesson on your hands now. Thanks for sharing the story and pics,

That's one fine looking shooter. Let me know when the leather is ready and I'll bring the brisket and mesquite wood.

A legendary gun .. Made by a Legend his ownself....

 

[Iggy]

Yeh, but do we dare disuss the legend of that moss horned ol codger in public?

 

[keith44spl]

Ah,
Come on fellers...

Y'all know that,
I've had to hold up at an undisclosed location after that last lit'l deal,
what with that poster picture and all...........


Them geriatric badge bunnies....Wouldn't let me alone.

That is just outstanding! a combination,two of my favorite calibers not to leave out the third .45 colt. I have said this before got to admire a man who has a vision and makes it happen. I could also see that with some Steer Head Ivory grips as well!

Thanks Rusty

 

[KEN L]

Now THAT there's a Bar-B-Que gun!

 

[Joe Kent]

Dave, very,very neat gun. Once again you have proven you are dangerous to my wallet, I've been down in my gunroom eyeballin' a couple of Kansas City pre-war magnums and thinking, What if? Thanks again for sharing. All my very best, Joe.

 

[keith44spl]

Joe,

Ya know, when a feller takes one that's already been re-finished, cut off and is just a shooter as best.....

What's the harm in making it, the best shooter it can be?

Joe, I've saw pictures of a few of your's....
And you know what I'm sayin',
Sometimes we got to just please our own-selves.


Oh, I'm fixin to shooter today....Watch for the report


All By Best
Su Amigo,
Dave

Great looking work by all three - machinist, stockmaker, and nickel plater. Very nice!

 

[Joe Kent]

Dave, wish I could be shooting with you. Maybe someday. While I don't know if it ever could happen, it sure would be a great time to have a bunch of our forum friends to a big Barbecue/shootin' wingding. Great company,good shootin' and tall tales and good people, what more could we want. All my very best my friend, Joe.
