If a person wanted a #5 style gun with most of the salient #5 features he better join the fray in this one. I had to talk for a long time to get Hamilton to do the guns he did for me with the #5?base pin latch. A cylinder rechamber and rebarrel gets you your 45 gun Cowpuncher!😄 Ive thought about this….. Truth is, i sold a super nice #5 in .44sp (no pin latch) that David Clements did for Fermin long ago because I really didn’t like the gripframe. So, Im out too…

Lots of new blood on GB in the past 2 years, I have had nothing but good experience with the NR buyers that bought from me, some need some hand holding as they don't know the process, but by and large the 8-10 newbies I have sold to in the past year have been good to go.

Pretty sure I'd seen his name before. Always happy when someone blows my max bid out of the water!

I live near the shop that sold that gun and so I went down there to see if they had any other custom sixguns. The guy behind the counter seemed surprised at what it sold for since the maker "wasn't well known." He said nobody in the shop had ever heard of Hamilton Bowen!!! I couldn't believe it!!!!

Mine is in reserve for a very special build. No 5 is a bit small for my hand. My pinky is fighting for a seat at the table. That said, the TLA it’s attached to makes the imperfect fit worthwhile.
