That looks like Rob Leahy's work....just alot cleaner than the ones around here! That "Most Versatile Pouch" gives it away...I have been wrong before but I'm bettin on Simply Rugged. Ya, I've got a Leahy holster and most versatile pouch and also a Ringler WY Combo. I think Von makes an ammo pouch that is similar. I think he calls it a drop pouch or something. Either way, it's a nice looking rig.

Whitworth. That is the most beautiful set of grips ive seen yet. I love how the grain is in two directions. I assume that is Dhal Sheep by Fishpaw? Okay... don't take this personal.... but as an Alaskan Dall Sheep hunter I have to correct your spelling ;D It's Dall Sheep, or Ovis dalli if you prefer latin, or Dall's Sheep if you prefer to refer to the man whom they are named after. Oh, and I'll know this friday if I've drawn a coveted DCUA or TMA tag for this August! What can I say, I've got sheep fever thread hijack over....

Yes that is the picture from Dustin's webpage. I don't know who did the leather. With Von Ringler just down the road a bit, I'd say that is the best guess but I couldn't say for sure.
The Stainless Bisley Vaquero with octagon barrel on his webpage belongs to Jerry Halfrich. I got a chance to shoot that gun the second day out of the shop. After Mr. Jerry of course. Durn fine piece of steel.

Here's another .500 JRH this time a Vaquero (with a scalloped frame and action balls) with with an ocatagon barrel -- sorry it doesn't have a Bisley grip frame. Also by Huntington. Man O man Its been a long hard day a work and that gun just made my night ;D ;D ;D ;D.

I SHOULD have specified a Bisley. The only grip style I'd shoot in that caliber you described. I used to be a game sport but now it hurts too bad and I heal much slower. Gary made it the way I asked. I do appreciate that. I wanted a .51 cal. as it is the biggest you can easily and legally own. I guess the .500 Max. on a long frame would get that nod. But I cannot imagine a practical application that was really reasonable. This gun/gripframe has cut my hand web twice with the Bisley hammer. I was shooting a 410 gr. at a little under 1300 fps. Unless I was totally focused I can not hang onto it. Finally I backed down to 1100 and even distracted by the hunting quarry I didn't get bit. Plus the load shot through both sides of a young Bison bull. Why did I need more? Sounds like a great project. What does he charge? I think I gave Gary about $1800 for this conversion, the octagon was a big option as he does not buy octagon stock and does it in a very manual and intensive method. Mine was exactly to my specifications (the grips were a small error - supposed to be cherry/gray laminate) for better or worse. It is a source of satisfaction. I say go for it, do it your way. This is the only other one I have in a Bisley and it is a 8-shot .257 cal.

. But I cannot imagine a practical application that was really reasonable. I never let practicality guide my revolver choices! LOL! ;D ;D For me at least, if I can comfortably carry it, hit what I aim at, and it will put the hurt on a large animal, it is plenty practical!

OK...for some reason I thought it was. Either way, that's a beautiful conversion. One thing I really like about Jack's work is his guns aren't overdone. Just classically "clean" looking. And I'm sure that 475 shoots as good as it looks. -Lee www.singleactions.com

JWP...I just talked to Whit and realize you had one of Bowen's first 475's. Got your Hunington confused with that one. -Lee www.singleactions.com

I received the pistol in time for the 88 hunting season and shot the first moose and grizzly ever shot with the 475L
