I had originally inquired about my Charter Bulldog, and I still may, but my desert gun, family pass down, my very special revolver was in need of new stocks. This is my one firearm I would choose if I had to choose only one. So I ordered a fine set of stocks.
Here it was in the condition when I received it years back:
The only things I did to it was add a Lobo (thanks Ray!) holster around xmas 2012 and the pachmayr presentations for desert use as you can see below:
I have been carrying like that for years and I finally decided to get some stocks worthy of it. Did my research, looked at hundreds of online photos and designs. Fingered other people's and gun shop finds for the past three months. Then I asked Patrick to make me some. He went above and beyond expectations.
This is how it will be until the day I pass it down to his grand kids in his memory. No need to worry about condition. It is a shooter, a revolver to be carried and used. It saw it's fair share of action for a short period of time as a predecessor to a 4" Python that was worn out over the years and even was used to put someone who needed it back into the dirt where he belonged.
Now, in it's new life, it has been used to kill a few coyotes, wild pigs, and some javelina. It is a constant companion in the back country I frequent, and it is a home defender faithfully on the nightstand. It is more than adequate for all of it's intended uses in my opinion just as good if not better than any bottom feeder ever made. From 180gr hard cast to 158gr gold dots, it is robust and does it's intended job well.
It is the one handgun I will never ever part with under any circumstances. I would give up every hicap, every 1911, and every other revolver I own if I had to. But not this one.
Without further ado..... and to stop rambling, thank you Patrick for your fine work worthy of this special revolver:
