Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Let's see the Customs!

Not really a custom but a stock Ruger RH in .45 colt with trigger, sights, throats, tuning by Hamilton Bowen in a Dave Johnston shoulder rig.

300-grain Prec Cast hard casts at ~1200 fps at 25 yds. offhand.



edited to say I apologize for this pic; I didn't see whatever that is in the lower right hand corner when uploading it.

I like that holster. Does ut ride true shoulder style or can it be adjusted to come around more to the chest a bit left of center?

To see carry position it's probably easier to direct you to google Dave Johnston's Diamond D Leather and there is a link to his holsters along with good pic's.

Not really a custom, more of a bored weekend frankengun.

Had a Colt frame stashed under the bench from a Ka-Boom due to a kitchen table "gunsmith" and had a No Name top end I had bought a couple of years ago when I had to frankengun one for Tracks. Wilson & ed Brown internals, Wolff Springs, Colt & G.I. controls, Pachmayer flat rubber coated mainspring housing, G.I. Hammer (shortened and under cut for my fat hand web), G.I. A-1 grip safety, hand stippled frontstrap, fiber optic low profile rear sight and "afro-engineered" front peened into the over size front dovetail (that really looks like crap in person). Oh Yeah, Colt factory double diamond grips.

BTW, the "idiot scratch" came pre installed on the frame!

that is what we all say

Thank you sir. I just sent him an email inquiring for my two Linebaugh's.

My pleasure.

Springfield Champion (Commander clone) done up by Wilson Combat. Mostly Wilson parts, checkered trigger guard, front strap, mainspring housing, and the back of the slide on the sides of the hammer (haven't figured why they checkered that yet). Wilson match barrel, Wilson Speed Chute. Top of the slide is serrated. MMC night sights. This is pretty much a CQB, but it was made before they made CQBs. I've only shot it about 500 times so far, but not a single malfunction. Best thing is that I got it for $750 (and it included the $2200 build sheet from Wilson!)

My custom 357 bult by Bill Davis in middle.Ruger security six with 4" Colt Phython barrel.Doule action job thats smooth as silk.

This is a little bit 'different'...

Just thought I would throw it into the mix. I actually wanted to pick up a little Colt for the wife and found this one that was just a few bucks more than a "minty in the box" one!! I couldn't resist! She loves it! I have to agree... it's grown on me too.

I decided to not let her carry it but it does get taken out and shot occasionally. The engraving an gold inlaying is some of the best I have seen. The previous owner didn't know who did it but didn't think it was factory - thought it was too nice.

Here's one of mine, a Jack Huntington built .500 Linebaugh Super Redhawk......



Will post others later.

Here's another Huntington custom I have, based on a prototype D-Max frame. The caliber is .50 Alaskan, and it has a Bisley grip frame and custom micarta grips. The barrel is 8-inches long. It will spit 525 grain bullets at 1,575 fps plus. It will give you a headache if you don't hang on tight enough......
