Gun show surprise

[mystical_tutor]

GT got it, and Ron has the right of it. It is one of Mike's. The work on it is awesome. Not put together frames like John used but all newly made parts. Just like John's works though all the machine work shows dedicated TLC and master skill. John enjoyed challenging people to show him where the frame seam was on the .38 special and .45's he made. I could never find one (and my eyes were much better then).

Owner said he was disappointed in the firing though. It does not feed well and it appears the reason is that the magazine springs are just slightly too large for the mag frames and excess friction is caused, reducing the feed speed. They are quite strong (you gotta have that loading tool for more than two rounds) but evidently there isn't the needed balance.

No idea who made the case, didn't check for markings. All attention was on the gun.

In any case, when I looked down at that monster my heart skipped several beats. I was ooh and aweing it, afraid to even touch it when he took it out of the case and told me to check it out. I field stripped it and dry fired it (ya in a gun show that is a no-no but I figured it would be my only chance).

We agreed, though that the trigger design was more of a pain than anything. It does look (with only pictures for comparison) that this trigger is thicker at it's tip then the original which would contribute to an uncomfortable feel.

Now I need to talk him into taking me shooting.....
