If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I had the Nimrod out on the range this morning and it turned what had been a mediocre load in the un-modified Bisley base-gun (300gr Cast Performance LFNGC, H110, new Winchester brass, WLP primer) into a decent performer: 6 shots into 3" at 25 yards, off-hand. Not anything for a bullseye shooter to be happy with, but darn good for me on the first outing with a new revolver. That load is a bit stouter than what I plan to run in the Nimrod when I start loading for it specifically, but it was all I had on hand. Next stop, the loading bench

Hamilton's shop produces superb work. I have asked him to tune a half dozen or so revolvers for me and have always been impressed with the outcome.
You will enjoy that"Nimrod". Select a holster worthy of that Sixgun.

Beautiful! I showed my wife the pictures of yours this morning and told her that I WILL have a nimrod someday...she just went back to what she was doing. Some people just don't understand.

If you need a holster I suggest The Linebaugh from Von Ringler. He makes them to fit the Nimrod barrel configuration. Here's mine with my 500L Nimrod in it. I have a Sparks 200AW that I like a bunch but it will not work with the Nimrod. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/EdImport16Sept613.jpg)
