Really like the depth of wood color shade on those grips which complements the bright of the aluminum grip frame and that in turn contrasts the dark cylinder and barrel. Those smooth grips make me think of my Blackhawk Bisley with Rosewood grips, smooth, not slippery so still nice solid grip. Good thing you have that Ruger, it will keep any rascals from robbing that train on your yard….lol.Thanks, sir

The silver/blue color combo look great together. The blue and polished silver give these sixguns a unique custom look. I decided to go with the stainless because of the weight. I’ve always preferred a heavier piece. I did the grip panels with elkhorn.

Really love the Blackhawk 45 colt. Wish I could show you the Bisley that I have. It’s my prize six gun. Keep up the great work.

I might trade it back to the shop owner for a Henry in the .45-70 or the .45c. Don’t know yet.

Don't use a wire brush. It leaves scratches on the aluminum. You want a carding brush. It's very fine and leaves a nice polish or brushed finish depending on which you get. I came up with a couple of Ronnie Wells' frame designs. The Biznana and the Hager BB5. Both are for recoil control in the big recoil cartridges. It's not very difficult to fit these frames to your gun and Ronnie is super helpful and an all around great guy. The weight of the brass frame actually works out between the aluminum and the steel. You should also check out the rear sights he and Fermin Garza came out with. Much better sight picture than the factory blades and very solid when mounted.

@plowboysghost

6 ай бұрын

I used a brass brush. 0000 steel wool smooths out scratches enough for what I want. I'm still open to a RW grip frame, and the Biznana is one that I ended up eyeballing. I'm also in for better sights, but I also want a better front sight...so my factory pedestal/base might be dovetailed, one day.

When I talked Ronnie into the Biznana and BB5 designs, my focus was on recoil control in the big bores.

Back in the 80's and early 90's, when everyone and their pet poodle wanted custom 1911's, I was building 2 to 3 a month. And for an additional cost, I'd build custom one of a kind grips from exotic, and local wood. But then, I had a fully equipped gunsmith shop.
