A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

Fishpaw grips on a purported Sherman action OMS


Finally got (a colt with) Fishpaw grips. I see why he was so justifiably famous. The workmanship is exquisite. Unfortunately it seems that he stopped doing work.

I took a couple quick photos. These came on an OMS that I'm really happy with.

I'm naturally a bargain hunter for colts: the number I bought since they were shooters for "below market value" is, well, probably more than I should have.

With that said, the two guns I've been most happy about were two OMSes that I paid a steep premium for. In both cases the function is just superb, and the finish flawless.

The most recent one (this one) the seller stated as having a sherman roller action. From feeling it I can well believe so. Hopefully there will be enough time to take it apart soon and see what's going on.

So, in any case, here's the grip porn. The gun is much better in person...
