After my reality face slap about all black iron sights and my shooting in the timber I decided to send this gun back to Ben and do a few upgrades. I ordered a white outline rear blade form Bowen and had it dropped shipped and I asked Ben if he could do a white vertical line in the front sight. His comment was this would have been much easier to do before he built the gun several years ago but he would take a stab at it. Boy what a difference it makes as you all know. Normally I like this sight set up and order it on a custom build but Ben had built this gun for another customer years ago and when that gentleman retired form shooting 5 shot guns he asked Ben to find a home for it and Ben gave me a call. Once it was here the esteemed Bushog offered me a set of Dal sheep grips made by Roy Fishpaw so I figured this was as good a place for them as any place else. A little judicious sanding and they matched right up. IF this gun looks exactly like a Nimrod out of the shop in Tennessee it is because Ben used to work with Hamilton. In fact, Ben told me he personally build several of the Bowen Best Grade guns years ago. This gun is Bens contribution to my custom revolver "Quest" and in all honestly, could do anything I want a big bore revolver to do.
