I'd say that is a Gary Reeder gun. The lazer engraving looks like his scroll work, the Turnbull cch is like what's on his guns. He often leaves the factory rear sight. The customer must have requested he leave his usual billboard signature off it. If it’s a Reeder gun it’s the nicest I’ve ever seen. Most of his stuff his way more disturbing to look at, but definitely not top of the line. Grips look freaking fantastic that’s for sure…

I've got a couple of Reeder's guns. They're pretty good for the price, but you have to tell him ABSOLUTELY NO ENGRAVING!

I’m curious how the seller says fully custom gun but no Provenance.

I own three Reeders and have seen many. I’ve been in his shop. Met the man. That’s not one of his.

If it is tightly rechambered from 44 mag, proper throats, a range rod checks out, and a tight cylinder gap, then I would be supremely happy with that cylinder. Full custom line-bored cylinder would be the very best , though, for sure.

Everyone has different tastes. To my taste, and probably just mine, this is a first-class revolver harmed by less than first-class “engraving”. I am a fan of tasteful, well executed engraving and have paid handsomely for it. But, this ain’t it. No sir diddle, it is not just you. If something like that showed up in my gun safes my German and British rifles would flee en masse, or take violent retribution on me.

I will end up having two 44 mag cylinders reamed out for 45 colt for two builds I'll end up doing. I have no problem with that at all. It's just not a full custom without the cylinder cut for that particular revolver.

I bought a gun from him and it was a giant turd! (Of course it was a NIB factory gun and in no way his fault that it was a turd. lol)

I've done several deals with Mike. He ships fast. Always been smooth deals. I like that gun. Didn't like it $2500 but I liked it. The pictures were not in focus enough in key areas for me to decide what type of engraving it was, but it was definitely machine or laser. I lean towards machine. A couple places did look etched, but most of it looked cut to me. With that said, I will again reiterate his pictures weren't in focus enough for me to decide for sure. For whatever my opinion is worth.
