The "chamfer" on the end of the octagon barrel is one nice touch! Some day Ive got a .45 Colt with one of his barrels coming... Nice touch for sure.

I am really liking this revolver. And this may be exactly what I order for my blued gun in 45 colt. Sweet rig. Congratulations.

Thanks guys. it will live on my hip with a couple shot loads and some 850fps Keith bullets. Got to shoot it this morning. It shoots as good as it looks. Just a light load of 9 grains 231 and a 450gr Keith bullet.

The stocks/grips look like American Holly.

Looks like some kind of laminated micarta to me. Not unlike my FA-97 17 HMR...

The "chamfer" on the end of the octagon barrel is one nice touch! Yes it is, a very nice touch. I read thru the post again, couldn’t find the barrel length. It looks about 5”?

Beautiful! The grips look like old Westinghouse Micarta, a great compliment to the stainless steel. To me it looks like the "Antique Paper Micarta " sold by Sheffield Knife Supply a few years ago. They had it made to emulate the Westinghouse material as best they could . Wonderful stuff but now both they and the material are gone again. I had a couple of orders and color could vary a little . Some a little yellower , some a little creamier. I have a little left but worthy of hoarding for a special project.

Barrel is 4 5/8 inch. gun shoots excellent. really enjoying the white outline rear and front. it’s super comfortable to shoot. 20 grains of2400 under a 450 for a nice powerful load at 1036fps on my chronic. Real nice shooting load. Can’t say enough good things about this gun or David’s work.

I've got those sights on several of my Clements guns. You're right, they are excellent.
Dave is currently building me a 5-Shot 44-40 and reading about your gun isn't helping the wait at all, LOL...
This gun is awesome and something to hold as a treasure for years to come. Nobody does revolvers better.

Encore64 I couldn’t agree more. I’ve got one more 5 shot with David as well but this definitely makes the wait easy
