    Pietta. It’s a Shooters Model with action, grips, case hardening and finishes by John Zimmerman. Very accurate, and easy on the eyes. First revolver I ever had chain fire.

    I think Pietta started making their grips so fat so that wouldn't happen.

    Yeah except the problem is the distance between the front of the grip frame and the rear of the trigger guard. Look at the 1858 frames and compare them to Colts and then the later Remington 1875 and 1890 cartridge guns. Remington knew about that problem and corrected it. I would say they over corrected but some folks like them. For a standard pistol grip frame the Colt 1860 and the 1851/1873 work very well for the majority of shooters.

    I well know about Remingtons rapping your knuckle. I have an old Rigarmi Remington and it's the same size as an original I had. I've had fat gripped Pietta's that didn't rap my knuckle and was somewhat disappointed that they didn't. It just didn't seem right. I handled a repro 75 Remington at my LGS and didn't like the way it felt at all.

    I heated up the trigger guard and bent it forward...it was perfect...then I tried improving upon perfection and probably didn't heat it enough and it cracked :what: oh well, still works fine but has a little crack...

    I've owned11 NMAs over the years , have fairly big hands, and have never found a NMA uncomfortable to shoot, but that's just me. Still have six of them.
    Brass can be softened by heating it and quenching in water. Direct opposite of metal.

    Betty Lou Got a New Pair of Shoe's!
    Decided the poly grips didn't look right!
    Just have some more sanding and then glue the medallions on.
