Sixgun Nut
The Nettleton makes my 5th USFA and the only one that's not 4¾". My first was an early US"P"FA in .45Colt. These guns were made from Uberti parts. Nice but the difference compared to the later guns is drastic. Here it is next to the later 12/22.
Colt type guns are notorious for needing their grips fitted, as there is much variation between guns, makes and eras. USFA's machining was so good, these one-piece walnuts were take-offs from a gun that received carved ivory and fit nearly perfectly.
Then I got a Rodeo II in .38Spl.
Then my flagship .44Spl, since fitted with Nutmeg ivory. Paid $1200 for it as USFA was liquidating their sixgun assets. Wish now I'd bought more.
