Every once in a while my endless searching for custom revolvers pays off. I found this beautiful Jim Stroh gun wearing some fugly plastic pearl grips. I 'bout swallowed my tongue when I saw Jim's mark.
It's Taylor throated, throats corrected and polished, wearing a Bowen rear and oversized base pin with a crescent head ER. The entire gun had Jim's deluxe bluing applied as well as a grip frame refinish. I don't know what he used on the Al grip frames but it's the nicest job I personally have ever seen. Last and certainly not least is an action job that has to be experienced to believe. There are nearly no "clicks" as the hammer is cocked. Just one smooth ride until the revolver clicks locked. Truly remarkable. Lastly, I swapped out the grips for a pair of sheep horn from Zane that I picked up from a fellow member lately that fit like a dream.
Anyhow, this is one gun that isn't full on custom but surely matches or exceeds the quality of most. I think it's kinda' cool it's still got the liberty barrel on it too.
