Super nice. Is that the white linen micarta you used for the grips? No it isn’t white micarta. The name is slipping me but Dave said he had one piece left and it was something special ordere years ago by a customer looking for the color of John Wayne’s grips in rooster cognurn that never got used. Almost a salmon color up close. Came out very nice. I’ll get better pictures this evening as it has a lot of little extra touches all around

Oh my ,beautiful! Is it stainless or a mix ? Jeeze one and done! Absolutely perfect! I’m smitten!! Lol It’s all stainless. My goal here truthfully was to have one gun for it all. from mild to wild. it came out 100% what I wanted. it’s light and balanced while being heavy duty and reliable. I can’t say enough how it’s a piece of mechanical art in the hand. David really is a master at building these guns. Glad I got one more with him!

Thankyou for all the compliments. each one of you who has went the custom route knows the anticipation and excitement involved. My expectations were met and exceeded and that just makes it all the better. all the details were my wants but David made it happen. His octagon barrel is perfect.

A muzzle shot would be nice as it appears he blended the corners and flats

If I'd have seen that gun five years ago I would have broken the no more calibers mantra.

I really feel bad for you, that is such a poor example of a Custom gun......and ugly, oh my. Well I will take one for the team and take that old rag off your hands since I'm good like that. Let me know when and where I can pick it up for disposal, I won't even charge you any fee's. 😂 BTW, That's an awesome looking gun.

The "chamfer" on the end of the octagon barrel is one nice touch!

Hot diggety! You had me sold with the first pic... then you show up with all these additional photos and man, I am going nuts over this one. I need to think of something for Mr. Clements to do. That is one fantastic revolver.

Beautiful! The grips look like old Westinghouse Micarta, a great compliment to the stainless steel.

Beautiful! The grips look like old Westinghouse Micarta, a great compliment to the stainless steel. I think you’re right. I tried to get a set made for a M29-2 and the fine folks at Culina Grips said that Westinghouse hasn’t made it for years.
