I haven't posted many new pics lately and thought I'd take a good weather opportunity (lighting, not temp) to get caught up.

First up is a Uberti Flat-top Target .44-40 I picked up from Dixie Gun Works this week. Believe it or not, those are factory Uberti case colors. All the guns I looked at, numbering close to a dozen, plus all the display models, had fantastic colors.

Next is a mild Bowen custom .44Mag Super Blackhawk with Ajax Sambar stags.This sixgun changed my mind about the Super Blackhawk grip frame.

A pair of factory antiqued Uberti "Old West" sixguns in .45Colt. I always thought that aged sixguns go so much better with aged leather.

Uberti Callahan Target .44Mag x 6".

Callahan and Flat-top together, an evolution of sorts.

For something completely different, a pair of .44Spl GP's.

How do you like that Callahan? I've been eyeballin' them for a couple years now.

And as always, great pictures. Those case colored ones do look great.

Mn Fats · Jul 23, 2017

Great pics. You have excellent taste sir.

ArchAngelCD · Jul 24, 2017

Craig, you have such nice revolvers and you took some good pictures too. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, both in the new additions and your usual stellar photography!

chicharrones · Jul 24, 2017

Fantastic photos of fantastic handguns. I like the long grip frame of that Callahan.

MaxP · Jul 24, 2017

Beautiful six guns, I especially like those antiqued Ubertis of yours.

Dframe · Jul 28, 2017

Beautiful set of revolvers you have. I especially like that 3 inch 44 special GP. Looks to be right handy and in my favorite calibre too.

Thanks for the photos! Very pretty.

adcoch1 · Jul 29, 2017

Both of the GP's are great and id love one, but that uberti Callahan takes the cake for me! What a beautiful firearm.... I also would love a set of those sambar stag grips for my super blackhawk. Beautiful guns, and even more so because you shoot them.

Thanks folks!

CraigC takes fabulous photos of some wonderful revolvers - thanks again for sharing.

Dr.Rob · Jul 30, 2017

Front sight on the target Callahan is almost cartoonish. Great gun leather there.

CraigC · Jul 31, 2017

It's certainly not the best looking front sight I've ever seen.

Everybody like the old saddlebags I'm using as a backdrop? I found them last year in an antique shop in the Smokies.

I was thinking much the same thing ~ both guns could use an application of a nicer looking front sight. I prefer the ruger Blackhawk front sights myself. Next mebbe Colt New Frontier.

Saddle bags? So that's what they are!

Really old leather, there.

Hmmm. The real question is have you made a custom "Flames of Hell" camera holster? Me thinks I see a new product line in your future.

I picture you building custom holsters for everyday items.

Nice guns as usual Craig, and nice pics too.

CraigC · Aug 3, 2017

A camera pouch is actually one of the first things I thought about making but never followed through with it. I've also considered doing a camera bag. Right now I'm working on aging processes and designing a new blackpowder hunting pouch and I'm also going to try my hand at a powder horn.
