New Altamont grips.
I got my gun back. I noticed the cylinder is a little late locking up if slowly cocking it, and it had .010" end-shake. I put some shims in today, so the end-shake is gone. I will be taking it with...
My old 28-2 from 1966 that my Grandpop gave me in 1985, is going to be converted to 44spl. I love that caliber and I picked up a barrel and cylinder and dropped it off at the Gunsmith today. I...
The gun is gorgeous. It is made in 1973 and I shot 5 shots offhand at 15 yards, double action with 125 gr RNFP reloads into a cloverleaf. My friend and I were astonished. I put the turn ring on...

It's a 1911 front sight that I provided and the gunsmith cut a dovetail into the barrel. He also did a recessed target crown.
I made the holster.

My custom 10-8 with original, beat up grips I refinished and the Tyler T-grip adapter which was on it when I bought it. An old cop gun which was updated by having the barrel cut to 3" and slab...
This post does a good job explaining the sight height differences for 125gr vs 158gr:

I got it at Amazon and plan to eventually replace it with a night sight in the same height. The height, .170", gives me a POI for 125gr +P at 10 yards. It is for a 1911 and has a tapered base which...
Thanks! A local gunsmith at Independence Shooting named Jeff. The gun started out as a 4" heavy barrel police trade in that I picked up for less than $250. I have about $150 worth of work and...

My 64-5 and 10-8 started out as 4" service guns. 3" barrel swap for the model 64 and I decided to customize the model 10. 105419105420
I hardly have room in my waistband for a J frame, let alone a N frame! Too much lasagna...
I forgot that I had a 4" barrel installed by a gunsmith. I reverted back to the 6" but like the feel of the 4" better.105400
Tandy Leather has a store here, and they are all online. You might also check Weaver Leather Supply.
Great looking N frames!
I only have one. My Grandpop gave me his 1966 model 28-2 in 1985. I shot it some through the past decades, but not much. I'd love to convert it to a 44 spl.

I enjoy making holsters as projects. I wish I had a leather sewing machine, but due to the low volume I make for personal projects, hand stitching works. These are some I have made over the past 4...
Yep! Mine are in a Uhaul moving box in my closet. Where is the classified section? Maybe I'm too new for it to pop up?
