Well, you can get one of your S&Ws done by Hamilton Bowen.

I bought an M-25 (4", 45LC) with work done by Hamilton Bowen. I think I got it for a reasonable price. It was a beautiful revolver with beautiful action. Trouble was, it was too dang pretty and too valuable to carry. I shot it a few times, but couldn't bear the thought of putting holster wear or a scratch on it.

So I ended up selling it about two years ago.

Talked with the new owner recently. I don't think he's shot it yet. Told him if he ever gets tired of it...Will I never learn?

In the meantime, I bought a used M25-13 with the ILS removed by the previous owner--price was right, too. This one, I can carry without guilt.
