You mean...like THEEEES??

Its my 5" Thor-Heller gun, which you've heard about before. Got the ivories at a gun show for, judging by Ron's info, an embarressingly low price (ivory mag bottom came later, courtesy of my friend Russ Withem).

The grip ivory is harder than blazes. I have no qualms about shooting the gun (the grips sure do feel nice) without worry about cracking them--its not my primary shooter, but I like to have it on the shooting bench to see what kind of glances it gets from other shooters walking by (not much pride of ownership here, no sirree!!

)

I don't think I'd shoot Ron's dragon grips, though...
