Best revolver finishes?

[Squatch]

Yes it does. But the main advantage is sight radius. Back when I was younger I used to shoot steel silhouettes at 100 yds with it. Can't even see them now.

Interesting. Thank you. I learn new stuff every day here...

You guys act like the blue wearing off from pulling it out of the holster is a "bad thing"?

I think it looks cool as heck; makes it "my gun".

The shiny ones do look good, though

Haha...ya I never thought of it until someone here mentioned it. I'm ok with a holster worn gun!

That's what keeps you coming back doesn't it?

I'm reading on several SA forums that the transfer bar safeties are delicate and prone to problems on Uberti and Pietta Colt clones. I may just go with a regular one and load 5. Not much chance of a problem with a hammer on an empty chamber.

Going after the safest route is a good thing! All equipment may fail at times.

I mentioned that in this post:

I learned the hard way about the burr that happens to the base pin.

[RanchRoper]

Yes thank you I did read that post. Appreciated.

I've never owned a stainless gun but that doesn't mean I don't want some.

Bluing can be easily ruined from rust or chemicals, nickel-plating can flake off but stainless can be easily buffed out or blasted to quickly restore the finish.

Stainless can be buffed up to look like nickel so I'd love to have some Ruger MK's and Single-Sixes in S/S.

[Henry88]

That's interesting Danwinn, In other words bluing a and nickel are a plating, while the stainless has more of an intrinsic quality?

[RanchRoper]

I see some are laser engraved with scroll work, etc. Anybody have one like that?

My new Triple K holster arrived. Once I oil my cartridge belt it will match quite well. I put the old Daisy pistol in it just to check the fit but I'm excited to put a nice. 45 Colt clone with 7.5" barrel in it in the near future.

[RanchRoper]

What do you guys think of these grips?

[Travlin]

The grips look great. How do they feel in your hand when firing the revolver?

[RanchRoper]

That's the big question I guess. A couple of guys said they tried that style but did not like the feel. Went back to walnut.

RR,

I had a LONG reply post to you but I did not push SEND here.

You will LOVE the Triple K holster!

I had a Triple K western belt (45 Long Colt for my former Ruger Blackhawk in a 7.5 inch barrel bought back east.) and two Triple K holsters for many years! I wore them in the woods/wilderness, when I competed and I used one of them on almost a daily basis out here. The 45Long Colt one fit a Ruger Blackhawk in a 357Magnum even though it was a wee bit shorter barrel - 6.5 inch. The other one fit three Ruger single action revolvers of mine - RF. Two were in 22lr/22wmr and one Bisley in 22lr only.

This was when I used to own, shoot and open/conceal handguns in various calibers.

My second favorite form of carry was using a shoulder holster but the Triple K gear was my favorite set up.

My shoulder holster was made by Uncle Mike's - black webbed fabric. I liked it very much for my specific handguns. I used it to mainly carry my Smith and Wesson Model 686 and in two Model 29's in a -2 and a - 3.

I did try some other very nice and more expensive leather shoulder holsters that my MT husband wanted to give me from his former, sweet selection but I liked the Uncle Mike's one the best. I tried them for two classic S&W J frames - Model 60 and Model 317 too.

The leather belt holster that I had for my former Glock, back east, was a Bianchi. I think that it was called Old World Leather but I am not positive now. Sorry.

Good shooting to you, RR!

[RanchRoper]

Thank you Cate. Appreciate the information. I'll either fill it with a Uberti or Pietta 45 Colt 7.5" barrel. My holster and revolver will get used as much as our law allows! It sure sounds like you did lots of shootin' though!

[Henry88]

What do you guys think of these grips?

Looks like Marshall Dillon's Gun
