These are great looking guns! If I were to buy a SA, it would definitely be a birdshead! Beautiful!

Thanks

This is the leather I've got on order

Now that's a fine looking SA revolver, make's me want one just like it. Are you going to try to get a 45 ACP cylinder fitted to it?

I doubt I'll get the acp cylinder since I don't have anything else in 45 acp and I'm getting ready to start reloading .45colt anyway.

Beautiful gun!
Of course, I am biased, as I own the same revolver, but in 45 ACP.

I have had mine for a short time, but it is accurate and fit and finish are great.

I carry mine in a D.M. Bullard Bodyguard holster, which has an extreme forward cant angle, so I can carry undetected, even with a simple untucked tee shirt.

Enjoy!

Wheely. I saw your holster on another thread......nice
I plan on carrying mine in the sholder rig under my leather jacket or vest when I ride the motorcycle.
As for being biased I can sure see,why these are beautiful guns that are a pleasure to shoot,I know I will catch the dickens from the auto guys about carrying a single action for defence but I say it's the first shot that is the most important.
Some don't even think I should carry my SP 101 because it only has 5 rounds...
