Just spoke with Mr. Clements , had a great conversation with him, and my revolver should be in hand in a couple weeks! He said it was very comfortable to shoot with a max load due to the weight of the 6” barrel. I’ll be loading down as it don’t take much to punch paper. I picked his brain a bit on different Ruger builds and he was very accommodating! A real gentleman!

I've posted the same and certainly agree with you. Have a list of guns to send him one at the time.
#2 is there now and more are waiting...

Nice gun and apparently well worth the wait....
As to the above question about the two different weight MeHic bullets...yes, same mold. The heavier is a flat point and the lighter a HP....

Have a bunch of hornady xtp 210 and Montana bullet LBT 220 and I think I over bought with a 4lb jug of Unique!lol I’m going to use my 41 mag sizing die , a lee universal expanding die and a redding 41 special crimp die. See this is what happens while you wait on the completion of the conversion! Too much time to accrue stuff!

That's a really nice revolver, congratulations. Next year..... |
