This just came in from JRH today. S&W Heavy Duty I picked up as just a frame, and slowly added pieces as I found them. The frame is post-war, but pre-1957 - No model designation. I know it's taken at least 5 years to get the parts together. It may be creeping up on 10. Barrel rebored by Siegrist, Barrel remarked by Harton The Model 29 cylinder, rechambered by Jack to a tight .45 Colt, sports Haton's Black Powder Bevel work. Grips are Maple by Culina. I wiped it down, but I still had some oil show up in the pics. Those aren't shadows on the grips, that striation is in the grain.

This pistol makes it into my top 10 handguns I need to own. I like everything about it; wouldn't change a thing. Congrats on finishing a long project. Do you have any leather to go with it?

That's a wicked looking sixgun. How'd you set the sights up? Are they regulated fora specific load? Thanks for sharing.

Had a Bowen 45 Colt HD I let go and still miss it from time to time. Really like how yours turned out especially the 5" barrel.

The sights are as Jack thought they should be. We will just have to see what it does for me. No specific leather for this one yet.
