Very special.
Almost never see stag grips that match so well on both sides.

That’s gorgeous! How does it shoot? Did it start life as a .357?

Very nice! The old 3 screws are hard to beat. I like the Micro adjustable sights. I have a 357 made in 1958, still unconverted. It’s as tight as it was new, not bad for a $58.50 revolver.

Stunning. I'll take one in 5 1/2" barrel.

That's beautiful. Does David have a website? How long was the turnaround time on that one?

The gunsmith's name is actually David Clements. He did several revolvers for me: 44 Spl, 5-shot 45 Colt, 500 Linebaugh. He retired several years ago. He made wonderful custom revolvers and lever action rifles.
