Thanks Mags. Was the most practical and expedient thing for myself and them. That's why I suggested it from the start.

Good for you, Mark. Can't wait to hear how it shoots for you.

Well here it is with the replacement grips. Have not yet been able to shoot it due to weather. I personally love, or should I say, my eyes love the fiber optics. I know, not traditional however, gotta do what I gotta do.

Nice looking pistol. Glad you got what you wanted. Have fun trying it out.

Thank you Ernie!

Fine looking pistoles dude! That is going to be a lot of fun. Keep us posted. I think it needs a gunslinger holster.

I understand completely as i have my own eye issues!
I just swapped the originals on my 1899 Winchester with the gold bead off my Henry and put a later style Winchester Buckhorn on the rear.
Not a terrible departure from original but I love the larger gold bead front and the later style buckhorn has a thicker blade with a pronounced 'U' groove and its not a bad combo - and the price was right!
Until I decide if I am going to keep the Winchester or not it will allow me to get out and shoot it more accurately.
That 'Ol 119 year old blue kinda glistens now 'eh?

It does glisten and I think you should keep it.

and I think you should keep it.

I probably will.
I have it priced at approximate 'auction' value as opposed to 'street' value so that Is probably why I am not getting any responses.
And something like this takes the right person to own - it's not a gun for everyone.

Thank you Jim! Yup, already been shopping for the holster. might go with a cross draw belt holster. Don't want a drop leg.

I don't have any idea of what the auction value should be. Weird that you have gotten any bites yet, to me anyway, what you're asking seems low.

Auction value would be about $1300 - 1400.
I am asking $1500.
Not real movitated to sell.

Sorry I forgot my towels in the first pic. Thread seems to have taken a turn as well!

Looks good, Mark. Enjoy.

I am a big fan of cross draw holsters. I've been looking for a leather unit for my SP101. I'm kind of picky. Lots of options, not the one yet. Good luck. Revolvers rock!

No doubt Jim. surfed the net all afternoon to see what was available. Problem is; have never tried one and would like to see how it feels first.
I figure cross draw, so that when I go up the mountain, it still leaves my right side open for my 357 bear protection.
And a rifle to boot.

What? How does a Huckleberry never have tried one?

I picked up a nylon cheepie. It helps get the muscle memory going. Try it.
