Now that is a Reeder gun I could almost see having. Shoot, three or four swipes with a black SHARPIE and it would be perfect! ;D

Got to be careful with Reeder stuff... I am always on the lookout for a naked woman hidden on the backside.... ;D

I sure like the way he rounds off the butt of his grip frames. The first one that caugh my attention was COR's SBH, and now yours. It just seems like the rounding is a little more subtle than others i've seen. (i don't know that I've ever read "subtle" being used to describe Mr. Reeder's work before  ) ~c.r. |

He calls this configuration his "gunfighter" I hope to get to the range this afternoon.... I let you know how it feels with a little recoil......

Didn't pop a cap all weekend... Got to get to the loading bench for the 44 Special. Maybe one afternoon this week.

Good looking gun.  It looks like the grips fit flush with the frame, there at the front. Is that what I'm seeing? Looks pretty slick. |

Like I said on another thread... Naked women on your guns might be fine with the guys at the range... Not really kewl with the wife and daughter.... ;D
Grips do fit as flush as they look in the pics...

You guys need to get over what ever your issue is with Reeder... While I don't care for what he obviously thinks that people do in his animal and naked women etchings the two five shot examples I have of his are mechanically sound and have no women or animals on them...... I'd make my old you bring yours to the range and I'll bring mine... We'll pop a few caps and the winner can take both guns home but I got accused of taking advantage of people when I did that... |

That is a nice looking gun and it's yours so you can have it anyway you like. Is the two-tone and highlighted script engraving your preference or is it a Reeder standard sort of thing? The gripframe is a modified Bisley?
Thanks for sharing us it with us.

This gun was built to someone else's tastes... While my general preference is solid color sixguns I can live with a lot if the price is right... Looks to me like Bisley grip frame is the starting point for what Reeder ends up with...

I don't know.... For my money a 4 inch, short cylinder, 510 bore on my belt is a lot easier to get to than that long cylinder, long barrel monster sitting back in the truck! ;D
