Whether the metal itself is precious or not, its symbolism is!

I have seen lots of Eastwood movies but don't recall those grips. Which movie?

For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars and most of the Rawhide TV series.

That snake is on Eastwoods personal .45 that he used in all the spaghetti westerns.

Thats cool but may I ask why you push your cartridges all the way down to the case heads in the loops? It makes them harder to get back out. I don't usually use loops but when I do I don't push them all the way down.

I really never thought about it. Been doing it this way for 50 years. I just
push up on the flat end of the bullet. Comes right out in my hand.

Yours fit looser than mine do then

Nice Rig

I used to set the cartridges all nice and even in the loops like that, but they never seemed to stay that way for long. In the end they'd become all uneven and sloppy looking. I found they always looked good when seated all the way down, and were just as easy, if not easier, to find and remove thataway. JMO

Nice snake charmer, kwhi! Turned out really nice.
