You don't need any real gunsmithing experience to do a job like that. If you aren't experienced, take your time, don't rush, get online and ASK QUESTIONS when you aren't sure about something and enjoy the project. Even though it may not be perfect when you are done with it, it will be something you will take a lot of pride in because you did it yourself. That was a custom job.

Had the horrid matte finish removed, Gary Reeder dis the CCH, engravind, gold inlay and fire blued screws. Joe Perkins of Outlaw Grips made the grips...same as used in 3:10 to Yuma. Wow!!! I can't believe that started as a Rodeo!!! That looks awesome! |

Does anyone else have a grip maker recommendation for a set of salted maple grips for a Bisley grip frame? |

I've heard it manages recoil better than the standard grip, but I have only fired BP equivalent loads in mine so far. |

The trigger needs some stoning to be as smooth as the others and the grips aren't finish fit. For the money, they are a huge deal, though. I love mine and shoot it mote than my others. |

I started with the SSS that I earned by painting houses all summer with my father when I was 10. I still shoot it every now and then, and it was the first gun my daughter ever fired. Then, when I was younger, I felt "bigger is better" and picked up a Super Blackhawk. They are nice guns, but back then, I just couldn't understand shooting anything but max loads. Now, I've changed my attitude about that. In the past year, I doubt I've fired more than a box of magnum loads, but tens of thousands of .38 and .44 Specials have gone downrange. If I got into the reduced loads for the .44, I might still own it today. It's long gone now, but others have taken its place. |

Lots of cool pistols in this thread. I was wanting to tell SoloDallas that you will be able to date your pistol by the serial number.
Would a frontier have a different serial number range, or same as SAA? Originally Posted By SoloDallas: Got the bug while growing up (here, in Italy) from you (the Americans).

I posted this is gd but haven't gotten any response.
I'm looking at getting my first single action revolver and need some advice. I found a pair of uberti western arms .357 in polished stainless with walnut grips slightly used consecutive serial numbers 5.5 inch barrels. Bottom dollar is 920 shipped. Serial number starts with 742xx. Can someone let me know if this is a decent deal? Need to decide today. |

More Uberti stuff including a yellow boy. Thanks Bob, took your suggestion and went forward. It appears to be a 1892 original. Pretty cool. Bought another Uberti Replica yesterday, I'm hooked with these things. It's the one above, in both .45 and .45LC (two cylinders) for convenience of use (bullets you find bullets you shoot). On this one I really wanted to have the brass finishes on backstrap and trigger guard. Exactly as I had been wanting one since I was a few years old. |
