Mod 10 Straham Custom For GA Highway Patrol

[sndbggr1484]

I would like to see the hole in grip frame for the strut and a picture of the hammer attachment with the side plate off.

As anyone who has worked on a J frame knows the spring strut has to be able to pivot some. This means a straight hole for the bottom of the strut wouldn't work. Also. is there a hole or a plug in the heal of the grip frame as drilling the hole would be impossible from the inside. I guess the hole for the strut could be made before the new base was welded back the the frame.

The 1911 is amazing. Machining those parts to match perfectly would be difficult to say the least

Jim,

Since nobody has posted any pictures of the internals, I'll post a few. Sorry pictures are so small and crooked. Never figured out how to post life size pictures.

NO worries, as the pics display properly when you let your mouse hover over it.

Looks totally Ruger, Taurus, etc as with similar operation in others. Super novel way to go.

I like how the groove and tension screw for the original main spring got repurposed. The hammer must have a ball socket machined into it. Mr. Strahan was as clever guy.

The OP's short grip frame I am sure is similar, but I have to wonder how the hole for strut is configured
