Just finished this one up. Neither the owner nor myself can decide on the grips.....so he gets both pair.:cool: http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/1s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/5s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/14s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/13s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/16s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/19s.jpg |

S W E E T ! ! ! Go with the synthetic grips ( G10? ), they look best on that gun. If you had gone with traditional sights then the Rosewood/Cocobolo would be sweetest. Either way........gorgeous. ETA: the VERY minimalistic job you did on the safety and slide stop are TOP notch. I love it when you guys keep the controls simple. It adds a nice, elegant, extra touch of class to the piece....... |

Thanks for the nice comments, guys!:) I know the owner is enjoying them. This has been a hard gun to photograph. In real life, it's jet black with a slight sheen. I took a few more pics outside that capture the color/finish a bit better. It is a Heinie rear sight, modified. The finish is Gun-Kote over park. The grip safety is an S&A, recontoured. The hammer is from Kings.....checkered by them!!!!:) http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/105s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/101s.jpg http://www.the-gunsmith.com/sarge/woodsonsized/104s.jpg |

Chuck, The polishing has sizled my retinas. I think that, perhaps, my next three guns should be discounted if not free. ;-) As usual the vision and blending is extraordinary. As I have commented elsewhere, and will continue, the bevels and the chamfers all work together to atract the eye, no matter how untrained. And, I can look back and remember when your beavertails began to move toward perfection. I knew it was going to happen, right after we discussed BTs. Anyway, beautiful, as usual my friend.

Stunning. I love the dehorning. I'm also a fan of serrated front straps as opposed to checkered. I'm a little baffled at the great beavertail with the standard thumb safety, but to each his own. I would say to stick with the G10 grips. The wood ones already have a crack.
