Birdshead?

[DougL3NC]

So...I want to pick up a little 3.5" birds head, but all I can find is the lightning-style grip frames. I've never held one, but I know I love the feel of the regular birds head grip.

Any opinions?

I love them. They "fit" my tiny hands. Just sold a completely redone Colt 1877 Lightning. It was perfect in every respect!!

 

[DougL3NC]

Does the lightning grip make the length of the gun any longer?

 

[DougL3NC]

I can’t find one in stock anywhere 😔

They are hard to find and pending what caliber you want like the .32magum Rugers even harder!

 

[DougL3NC]

You mean there are other calibers besides .45? Lol

Actually saw 1 posted on Armslist in 45LC , local to Raleigh .

Found him and made contact!

 

[DougL3NC]

Well, I ordered this... 3.5” 45LC

I'm assume this is a Uberti? Reguardless looks Great!

It's a Taylors & Co/Uberti. Thanks! Hope to see it next week.

I think the Lightning style grip frame is far superior to the Ruger Factory Birdshaid grip frame.

Well, the 3.5” finally made it in...

I find myself carrying it almost daily...just something about a compact big bore wheel gun.

Love the grips on yours!! Did you get those aftermarket, or OEM? Either way, I love 'em and would be proud to toss a pair on mine!

 

[DougL3NC]

They came on it...I’ve honestly thought about changing them. If I do, I’ll let you know.

Please do, I really like the look!

This is my Birdshead I call her my score card. Each skull has a meaning behind it.
