yep, them long waits, become very questionable as to the use after a while. What goes on in my head anymore is when it gets done, hell will able to see good enough to be worthy of using it? I wish I was younger I would love to acquire a 44 Mag Super Redhawk Alaskan and send it off to Bowen fer a bore job and shave conversion to a 4" 45 colt, but by then my grandson may be the only one capable of enjoying it,,,,,, but thats ok, I'd enjoy that too! That GP conversion sound like a worthy conversion to wait fer, remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder.  |

Hopefully I’ll be able to see the sights and heft the revolver when it’s done! Lol creeping closer just ordered from Davidson’s a Talo six inch unfluted gp-100 in stainless. I really wanted a 4 inch but I love the unfluted cylinder! Dave can the barrel down ,but hey what’s wrong with a six inch.

My goodness just picked up my Talo gp-100 and it’s a beaut! I have not had a double action revolver in over 30 years! I bought a set of rubber with rosewood grips from Ruger thinking that the wood finger groove grips may or may not Fit my hand . Wood feels pretty good . Now off to Mr. Clements!

I hear ya! Best part was I have not bought a new revolver in a while. I’ve been sending the ones I have for conversions and plain old customizing. Shipping from ups has been in the 100 buck plus range . This last gun was a Davidson’s exclusive from a dealer I have not used before . They quoted me 75 bucks to box and ship! Now there’s a early Christmas present! |

Pkg going out tomorrow. Thinking hard of slab siding the barrel. I like the look on 3-4 inch guns on Clements website but don’t know how it would look on a 6”. Anybody got a pic! Merry Christmas!

I sent him my 686 approx 15 years ago, when he still did S&Ws and I have never regretted it. You will be pleased and proud. I hope you enjoy it for many years..............

I bought a set of rubber with rosewood grips from Ruger thinking that the wood finger groove grips may or may not Fit my hand . Wood feels pretty good . Now off to Mr. Clements! I'm planning on doing/hoping to do the very same this year. I've always loved the full lug 6" GP-100s & am a big .357 fan as well & will probably ending up having to get 2. |
