I posted these pics on singleactions a couple days ago, I figured some of you guys would dig them too. The gun was dropped off last March/April and I picked it up a couple days ago. The fluted cylinder is in 45 ACP and the unfluted cylinder is 454 Casull but will mostly see 45 colt. The grips are English walnut from blanks I provided. My favorite part though, is the front sight base. I told Jack I wanted one that uses Freedom Arms blades and looked similar to a Ruger No.1 rifle front sight only scaled down a bit. He made it from scratch and I think it turned out great! The pics don't do the gun justice

So far I've only had a chance to put a few rounds through it. Nothing formal yet, just busting rocks and a few soda can but is shoots as good as it looks!

That front sight base looks great! Glad to see you put a good rear sight on also. Nice piece :)

That is one spiffy revolver! I normally am somewhat on the traditional side when it comes to SA . . but WOW . . a fellow could fall in love with that from the "get go". I like everything about it - fantastic job on the sights! The question is often asked . . "If you could only have one . . . " . . . . well that would certainly qualify as 1st choice! Good caliber choices and a perfect field carry piece. Thanks for sharing . . . you can be mighty proud of it - enjoy it!

What a beautiful custom. You have excellent taste.

I'm glad I don't have it. If I did have it all I would do is hide it in a cave like Gollum and obsess over it.
