Most of my handguns and a couple rifles are in .45 caliber. Mostly 45 Colt, some ACP, and a 450 bushmaster. 6mm/.243 and 22 cal rifles are another draw

Maple was originally sourced through Tiger Hunt in Beaverdale PA. I've ended up with a few trimmings from flintlock stocks thanks to my mentor and gunsmith friend of his. I typically dye with a mix of a few different colors of transtint mixed with alchohol. Starting with a couple applications...

Mine makes a neat little pile at about 3 o'clock, probably 6 feet away. Would vary with gas tuning, buffer weight, and spring force.

I've made a few pairs over the years. Here's my most recent 2 pairs, both maple with sterling silver

I've sold or traded a few, regret 2. Both cheap guns, one just not as cheap today, the other I plan on buying another. Had a wasr10/63 I bought for $350 and subsequently traded it a couple years later for a S&W M&P40. Then 2008 hit and I still regret getting rid of that one. Only lost a...

Thanks, it's a "new vaquero" 45 colt Also have a 45C new vaquero 5.5" circa '07 or thereabouts with the color case finish that I'm quite fond of. I made this pair of walnut grips for it shortly after buying it back then. I'll have to dig out the whole family (Just 2 vaqueros and 2 blackhawks...

I made a couple stabbing chisels out of exacto knives. The blades are about the same thickness as the inlay wire I use. The sterling wire I use is from T.B. Hagstoz in Philadelphia, PA. I use size .008x.055" cloissonne. Work flow is basically to lay out the design, stab a groove into the...

Took advantage of the lockdown and dressed up my little birdshead vaquero with some maple and sterling silver. Made a sort of matching set for one of my blackhawks

I started out with 1, then the next thing my wife knew it spontaneously multiplied a few times :D

I have, fairly often, and will continue to carry a single action revolver of some sort. I live in a small town out in the middle of pennsyltucky, spend most of my time in the country, but even making trips to "the city" I don't feel under gunned if I have one of my 45s strapped to my belt that...

A factory 5 shot blackhawk in 480 would float my boat.

Everything I've read about them has said they will handle all the "Ruger only" loads just fine. The action was chambered in 454 Cassull and hot rodded 45 colt typically only develops half the pressure of that round. I've got a 20" ordered, and will probably end up running some hot loads just...

When I was pondering a "bear defense" weapon for myself I was considering the same 2 choices you have there. I ended up with a blackhawk in 45 colt. Now, I should probably have prefaced that with: in my neck of the woods we have black bears, usually small black bear at that. They typically...

Define "look cool." What makes one sight "look cooler" than another sight?

Ogreon, I last painted the sights on my m&p over 2 years ago. They still glow as bright, and just as long as the day I did it. The glow starts out rather bright, then as hours pass, they do dim. It has been a decent option for me personally, but I still would much rather have actual night...

I've used some paint that I purchased from "Glow Inc." on sights before. Seriously the brightest glow in the dark paint I've personally seen. http://glowinc.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=11 I went for the "V10" green. A couple seconds in front of a flashlight gives a nice glow for...

I went the .45 route. Wouldn't turn down a deal on the 9mm/357 version, though.

Or you can modify the factory pawl to free spin. ;)

Sounds like you already made up your mind to me. ;) If I find a gun that for some reason I find myself smitten with, I usually bring it home with me.
