Sounds like a plan. I just wanted to confirm I wasn't going nuts. grin

I can highly recommend Dave Clements for any custom work. He did this .41 Special for me about 12 years ago, working with a flattop that had literally been drug behind a truck down a boulder road - a true basket case gun. It isn't as pretty now as when he finished with it, but I swore it couldn't be the same gun when I opened the box. His metal work was miraculous.

You cannot go wrong with Harton, Bowen, Stroh, Clements (I have or have had pieces from them all) or the Linebaugh's, Huntington, Horvath, Gallagher or Forkin. They all substantially specialize in six (and five) guns and will deliver a top notch product. That said, because they all are at the top of their game, patience will be a virtue as you await delivery which is into years for some. A couple, I believe, are not taking work until they catch up a bit.

this .45 LC Blackhawk had the grip frame replaced with steel, Bowen base pin, action tuned, one piece walnut grips, color case hardened frame and charcoal blued...all work by Turnbull. My favorite outdoors carry gun, in a Threepersons by ElPaso.

Does a 41 Special Single Six qualify?

Love that Pocket .480 Whit...the gun Ruger would make if it had any brains...

Wonder if the OP ever had his .41 customized...

Yes, that .480 looks great. Everything you need, and nothing you don't.

I have a set of Lacewood grips being made right now for a .45LC Blackhawk. The wood came off my boat that was lost to a storm, so it they will be sentimental as well as gorgeous. Beautiful wood!

Yep. Here's just a basic 45 Colt on an OM mid-frame. Harton again.

Here's a Blackhawk in .500 JRH that I used to own, built by Jack Huntington. Octagon barrel, fluted 5-shot cylinder, modified grip frame, hard-chrome finish.

Bowen customized .44 Special Flat Top. As I get older, the only handgun I truly need.
