Good lookin' pistola there Bob...and one that's been on my watch for list for years. Sooner or later, one'll show up.

I've got a 6-1/2" barreled model that's a bit muzzle heavy for my tastes, and doesn't carry as well as the shorter barreled option either. Here it is in the buff and fully dressed! Yep, I know its got fuggly grips. As to the leather; son #2 did the belt, using the buckle off a pre-1900 McClellan saddle stirrup leather, and I did the holster...(it's not as pinkish as it looks in the pic, something to do with the room lighting when I took the pic). Best Regards, Rod
