Finally! This one has been a long time wrapping up. It first came home over a year ago. It took a while to find a block of wood (Ebay), and have it stabilized. Then Carl Schultz agreed to rough them out for me and let me finish them. Carl's idea of rough was actually pretty smooth. I took them from as sent to the pictured condition in less than 3 hours. And since I lost no time from drinking a beer and watching tv shows, it's a net loss of 0 hours for me. I really believe the grips make the gun, and I think we got it right on this one. I have another set of rough grips from the same block here for a 32 SS just like this 41. Any fitting or finishing imperfections are the work of Aggie01, and not Carl Schultz. I hope you guys like it half as much as I do.

I wouldn't have thought it so just picturing it in my mind, but it really does go great together. All of it, but the grips do tie it all together. Great job!

Really slick. Great choice of caliber, great choice of gripmaker. The two-tone is a nice touch too. -Lee www.singleactions.com

Unique colors. Can't say I have seen color case, stainless, and blue together before but I like it.

I must say that the finish that you put on those grips is quite exceptional, and the fit looks good to boot! Well done!
