Some Pretty Grips and a Full Restoration:
Above is a recently completed Colt SAA with custom one piece Burl grips and CCH
BELOW is an 1883 Colt SAA that came in with a poor nickel finish: nickel stripped & restored to how it should with bluing, nitre blue and genuine Bone/wood CCH.
What I Do: Colt, Ruger, GW & Uberti.
First...Thank You for visiting! !
No New Orders Until June 15, 2024
PLEASE Do Not Send in Your Handgun for Repair Without me Giving the Go-Ahead.
I take pride in what I turn out.
I treat every piece like it will be critiqued by the best of the best in the industry.
From time to time your gun may need to be re-done for whatever reason.
Maybe the CCH wasn’t to my liking or I missed a blemish when I was polishing or the wood I was using didn’t quite do what I wanted.
Some things WILL cause a delay.
Some guns will leave my shop back to you later than expected.
If you can’t take the disappointment of the gun not being done on time - please tell me. It’ll be done when I’m proud of it so you can be too.

Enamored with Range Wars...
Ever since I was a kid I was enamored by the stories of the Range Wars. Movies like SHANE, UNFORGIVEN and OPEN RANGE come alive to me as I wonder what part I’d play.
