I looked at that and could not help but wonder if it was by Ron Powers or John Powers. Looks like Johns coloring to me and I have not seen a custom single action by Ron Powers that I know of.

I don't see any way that is a Ron Powers gun. Smart money is betting that's John Powers work.

Here is a custom SA done by Ron Power. (As David said, Ron's name does not end with an S)  This is the first gun with Ron's #5 grip frame built for me 10 years ago. Dan |

I seriously doubt that the gun on GB was done by Ron Power.

Ron Power has intimate knowledge of single action revolvers, inside and out, just as he has of double actions. Yet, to label a single action as his without provenance doesn’t fit. Ron did not come by his knowledge of single actions without getting his hands dirty.

David, Yes Ron knows SA's. He has done some custom work on FA guns that are amazing. He built a gun almost identical to my #5 for a Friends of NRA Auction. Dan |
