Dipping my toes into the "custom" revolver waters.

That is an incredibly tasteful package!! I’m more of a form follows function gun toter, so most BBQ guns strike me as gaudy. Having that little bit of engraving and gorgeous grips is absolutely making me crazy to be a copycat with my SBH!! Nice job on a beautiful project!

Minor update, as progress begins.

Here's what I'm startin' with-

View attachment 254258
Sending the SBH grip frame to Chig's Grips, to have these fitted. Satin finish with Ruger medallions.

Grip frame will go out next week & he's quoting a 5 week turn around. Hoping to find a gunsmith semi-local to do the work, but expect this project to take a goodly while. 'N that's okay, this gun is no fun to shoot in its stock configuration & it's not like I don't have other .41s to play with in the meantime. Also makes it easier for me to get this gun done with minimum interference from the missus

How can it not be fun to shoot ,anytime you drop the hammer on a cartridge and it make a loud noise it’s fun . SORRY LOL

Actually very surprised & pleased so far with Tyler's. I'd always gotten the impression that gunsmiths were crotchety & the best way to slow down your work was to keep bugging them for updates. Just sent the gun off Friday & got an email from them yesterday that it had arrived & a text this AM that the grip frame was going out for grips.

I've never heard anything but high praise for their work & based on my interactions with them thus far, I will definitely be giving them more of my business.

Excuse me Sir , don’t you mean giving them more of your money?

Never dropped the hammer on a hot 240gr .41Mag in a single action & had it jam the pointy assed heel of the grip frame into the meat of your palm, have you? My big ol’ mitts & the XR3-RED Navy sized grip frame don’t play well together. Works well for .357Mag & below, but at .357Max & above, I need either the SBH or Bisley grip frame.

Excuse me Sir , don’t you mean giving them more of your money?

??? That’s an awfully puzzling comment. What are you trying to say?
