Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns What Have I Done?

McCinnis,

That's beauty.

I should have been more clear in my posts, but this one was already built and sitting in a gun shop in SD. The guy that ordered got cold feet once it arrived so I was able to buy it for retail, minus what they had him put down on the order. He must be a long lost relative because aside from his not ordering the 3lb trigger job, this is exactly how I would have ordered it. Not sure how a trigger job adds an extra $100.00 to the price of a $2K revolver, but that's another matter...

I have about 150 rounds through it now and it is shooting really well. It's amazing what can happen when you combine a shooter as great as I am, with a handgun as great as the 97.

Here are some pics of it now that it's in my hands:








For Leather I went with another holster from Norm. His Montana Shoulder Rig is simply a great design. As much as I love the EPS Tanker, I like Norm's holsters a little better. I think his pricing is fair and not to mention as long as he "has the gun by 10 in the morning, you'll have it back by 5 so you can head on back to Havre." He's a great guy to do business with.





The crossdraw holsters on FA's website are tempting. But I rarely (very rarely) wear an OWB belt holster. I called Milt Sparks and they do have a mold for the 4 1/4" 97 so I will be ordering a Summer Special or Cruiser or whatever the fugg they call them next week.
