After coming upon Mr. Quinn's beautiful photos of his CDNN gun...and calling to find out CDNN was out of .45 Colts....and after discussing this with Zeus....(the guy you do not want to talk guns with if you have the slightest desire to own a particular firearm)....!!! I went ahead an ordered a .45 Colt with a 5.5" barrel. It's going to be a long 3-4 weeks. I guess that's better than waiting years like many of you "custom gun hounds". The thing that has me going crazy....I'm 99% sure that as soon as this gun arrives, I'm going to order it's twin in .44 Special!  It's an illness. Bob |

Bobs will never see leather  He takes care of his, unlike a few of us Plus, I don't have anything to do with that leather. that is a nice looking rig though...looks familiar John sold me on that set up from Rybka. Carries well and looks great doing it.. |

Markbo,
My range sits 300 yards behind the house (I'm fortunate to live in the country). I use gun rugs to transport the guns I choose to shoot on a given day. My guns get more "safe rash" than holster wear!
It's a nice problem.
You folks can count on some pics when the gun arrives.
BTW...I went back to Mr. Turnbull's website tonight to take another look-see and these are now out of stock. I guess timing is everything.
Bob

Just to make the wait more painful :-) Good luck with your new purchase. They are a really well put together firearm and you will be happy with it.    |

500fksjr........I know what you mean. Very easy to drop a lot of funds when you are there in person. I was given a tour of the shop, met Doug, and was treated like royalty. But what really impressed me was the gentleman that spent the time with me talked and toured and spent a lot of time without once looking at his watch or take a phone call. Like he was there to entertain me without regard for coffee break, lunch, spending too much time with customers that were not looking to buy at that time. That customer service left a lasting impression with me. I asked if they had a brochure on the open range and they printed out, while I was waiting, a large poster style print that I was able to frame. Over the counter frames did not match the pic size, but if I had a custom frame done you would not see the white on top and bottom. Congrats on ordering a great revolver and know that their operation is a first class, top notch company.  |
