Took this in trade on my Huntington .480 Vaquero.
I should sell it, but it's EXACTLY like i would have ordered it! (it's a sickness)
A set of Hogue Ivory Micartas here that have been looking for a home slid right on.
No warning on Barrel.
Steel ERH. Steel XR3-RED. SBH hammer. SBH cylinder rechambered to min spec .45 Colt.
Early pics deleted, scroll down.

It must be a epidemic!  I've got a 4 5/8 NM 45 Colt with a SBH grip frame and a SBH cylinder sitting in the safe ready to be virtually the same thing... |

How do you like the thickness of the grips? Some folks don't like Hogue because they're wide, but they fit my hand just fine. I find recoil to be less "felt" with that profile. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Gonna shoot it first, but thinking the grips need to be slimmed at the top a little bit.
Had a set of hogue polymers on a bisley and thinned them out a a little and it really worked well.

Nice looking rig you ended up with. John does a good job. I like the 45 he built me. It's built for a OM 44 FT.  By the way, did you get enough sold to buy that gal of yours a ring. Bill |
