The Harton #5 arrived and I picked it up. I have to say that it has exceeded my expectation. It balances great in the hand. I was worried that the octogan barrel would be a little dominating with the medium size frame, but they match up perfect. I was not real sure about the grip frame but it fits my hand like a glove. It seems like Alan had a mold of my hand and made the grip a perfect fit to my hand. Fit, finish, action.....all fantastic. I only have one complaint....... I do not have enough money to make one in .22, .32, .357, and .45
Two thumbs up, and on a scale of 1 to 10 it is a 15.
Thanks Alan, it's great.

I'll be looking forward to the pictures. I love to see the work that Alan does. I've not had him do a full blown gun for me yet, but the work he's done has been perfect.

I think Alan will be working on a #5 (of sorts, I'm going to use tha tPC #5 I ordered) for me sometime soon, he finally got back to me with a price for Vaquero work, but Cactus is still getting the nod

No offense taken Fermin, we are all having fun here. Like I said, I want to get out and shoot it, but the barn my daughter takes lessons at had a trail ride with cookout after, and thanks to meathammer getting me into dutch oven cooking, I cooked all but the steaks. A great time was had by all and I got to meet and talk to another local sixgunner!!!! Here are pics, but not of the .44
