This post caused me to not only reconsider the sale of that firearm, but my entire life as well.
Thank you sir. You may have saved me.

PS- Don't let Hawk know you wrote that.
I'll take it!!! Is this the part where I whine, complain and get butt-hurt?

No. This is the part where I cash both money orders and keep the 29. Travis

That's an Avalanche of hilarity, but it would it would be better if you'd at least throw in a CD or two.....
PS: I sent the MO two weeks ago; must be the Post Office....

Here's something to hold you over while you wait Travis. Grasshorn made the elk antler grips for mine, a .45 Colt. Just curious, what kind of wait time does the factory quote these days? My wife got one earlier this year and it took about 11 months. And BTW, if you're looking for a holster you probably can't do better than the factory holsters that FA offers. Good price, and they fit perfectly. I got one from El Paso Saddlery and it didn't fit very well, then ordered one from FA and it's great.

Factory wait time is 15-18 months for new guns.

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. Travis

Travis, That is one hell of a nice rig, sir. I've held off posting pics of my new-to-me 1993 NIB case colored Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt because every time I look at your FA 97 I start droolin'... and that's not so good for my bank account.

No flies on that sixgun! My brother has the same gun. Accurate as hell too. You do deserve an FA though... Travis

That is a .beautiful gun, and I love 44 Specials, but for me there is only one single action handgun and it comes in 44 Special to boot. .

I do believe you have planted the first seed of FA enablement on me with that 97 of yours. That is just plain knockout perfection. Here's a quick pic of my lowly new-to-me NIB unfired case colored 1993 Old Vaquero in 45 Colt. I've been diligently looking for her sister.

Yep, she's brandy spanking new.
Been looking hard to try and find a match for her. Every time I find one similar, there's something wrong. Shorter barrel, been beat up, or other stuff. Found one the other night that looked pretty good, but had a rust spot on the bottom right section of the frame.
I'll find a matching one eventually. In the meantime, I'm gonna shoot the hell out of this one!
