    I've taken the scope off the 66, and put the iron sights back on. Next are sdome new grips for it.

    nice snubbies but for real world carry they could use my signature package. Beveled cylinder edges, longer ejector rod, Replaced MIM parts etc.

    Cross posting this here too ;)

    My Christmas gift from my Mother.

    New in the box. 1979 Colt Single Action Army revolver. Only flaw on the whole thing is a small scratch on the cylinder where a dumb*** spun it once.

    It's a F.I.E. Titan Tiger 38 special. Nothing fancy, but it was only $125.

    My "Model of 1989" S&W 625-3 .45 ACP - this turns out to be my wife's favorite handgun to shoot (she likes the simplicity of revolvers, she likes the full-moons for ease of reloading, and she likes the 45-caliber holes that make it easy for her to track her shots on paper at the range).

    A friend's .454 Casull Ruger Alaskan - probably more than what's needed around here. I loaded him up some mild .45 Colt handloads, as he was not especially enamored of shooting the full-bore loads from the thing.

    I got the first Rhino that showed up in my state, based on the review of a gunwriter friend of mine. Wow, for a 25-ounce .357, it certainly is controllable. Might not be the sort of aesthetics one expects from Italian design, tho.

    This Ruger Bearcat went to Hamilton Bowen, where it received an action-tune and a conversion to .22 WMR, as well as adjustment of the sights to hit "on" with that round. Sack Peterson elk stag stocks and a Belt Mountain base pin prettied it up some - it's a dandy little kit gun, that throws 40-grain Winchester bullets at 1450 fps . . . a pocket rifle!

    Thank you much - I've been around the firearms web since the mid-'90s, but I've only just today joined my home state forum. :) I thought I'd just drop some photos on you good folks, because . . . well, we all like photos, right? :)
