That's a show-stopper! Beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing.

Your coloring to me looks more even. the right side of mine is mostly brown while the left has what I'd call more traditional Turnbull colors. When I dropped this one off he said he was still using Turnbull. I stopped a little short of your 41 but the same flavor for sure. I thought I'd requested the Bowen sight but hadn't. Not sure I'll change it at this point. Would like to get a Clements ejector rod though. Did you see my bisley? The only gun that was out was a Colt SAA that was getting a S&W rear sight. I'm heading back in a couple weeks with an armload of little projects. I'll take a look.

There go my chances for anything soon.... Nah, you're good. I've been trying to get my accumulation up to snuff. A trigger job here and a barrel turning there maybe some new sights, nothing that will put Andy too far behind. A few years back I realized that Andy wont be doing this forever and if I wait too long I'll have to pay more in shipping than he charges for the work.

I have one DA gun in the safe which is the model 58 45 Colt by Bowen. When I decided I wanted a 41 Special model 28, Andy got the call and it is in his shop right now. Not sure when it hits his bench but I know when it does and it comes home, I will be happy with it.

Bet it will be a dandy Robb. I'd like to have Andy do a model 58 in 45 Colt. Have one of Bowens fixed rear sights set away for the project.

That sounds like a very nice Mod 58/45c...Robb WAY BACK, PROBABLY VERY EARLY 70's, NONTE DID A MODEL 58 TO 45 COLT, AND PEOPLE STARTED LUSTING AFTER/WANTING N FRAME SMITHS IN 45 COLT. S&W RESPONDED IN 1976 WITH THEIR ANNIVERSARY MODEL IN 45 COLT, UNFORTUNEATELY THEY USED THE SHORT MODEL 25 45 ACP CYLINDER. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE MODEL 25-5 THAT YOU COULD GET A REGULAR LENGTH 45 COLT CYLINDERED GUN, ALBEIT, AT THE TIME, WITH OVERSIZED CYLINDER THROATS. I LOVE S&W 45 COLTS BUT YOU JUST CANNOT PUSH 'EM AS HARD AS RUGERS.

Just to tease with a picture of the Bowen Model 58 converted to 45 Colt with his combat sights.

That case hardening looks terrible. Send it to me! Case hardening is like a fingerprint, no two alike. Enjoy it.

Talked to Andy and the model 28 41 Special is about wrapped up he said. A little more metal prep then into the blueing tank. Andy still amazes me with the speed that he gets things done.
