OK guys. I am putting the finishing touches on a Gunblast.com article on Ronnie Wells gripframes. I have traveled up to Ronnie's shop and seen the operation first hand. I have secured permission from Mr. Bradshaw and Doc B to share their thoughts and observations. As I move along I will get with some others as well. I was thinking that since so many of you have also contributed we could start a picture thread here. I will ask Glenn to "Pin" it but what I really need is for you guys to email me your pictures with some comments on what you ended up building and the whys and hows. I would like to utilize the end users pictures and projects in the article.

Thanks guys and gals!

***** Fermin.... BEAUCOUP THANKS for your illuminating article on, to quote you, the “game changing” grips of RONNIE WELLS. There are two constants in a Ronnie Wells grip frame: perfect screw hole alignment to Bill Ruger’s frames, and absolute quality control. As Ronnie explained to me, and he explained this critical specification as an homage to Bill Ruger, bottom & rear machine cuts of all Ruger single action frames----to critically include locating the five screw-attachment holes----continues consistent from the beginning of production. While this detail sets up manufacture, it also held open the door for the great grip frame innovations of Ronnie Wells. There is no way to overstate the importance of this necessity to the benefit we receive on the Firing Line. To discuss without criticism a product I live with takes a step into Heaven. What’s a shooter’s hand hand worth? Reckon numerous generations span my life with sixguns. Damage has been done my anatomy. Conservation of Anatomy has occupied my shooting half a century since my late twenties. It is never too late to continue. Today, says my body, a Ronnie Wells grip frame is not jewelry, it is an anatomical imperative to keep on throwing lead. Fermin Garza keeps a hard eye for flaws. He finds none here. Excellent report, Fermin, David Bradshaw |

This has made me think hard about the “Bradshaw Bisley” for my .480 Ruger. I ain’t getting any younger
