Hey ..... Bob

Slohand Bob,

You get yur '51s back yet?  I just ordered a pair.  Wheeeeeeeeeee

  Not yet but I was on  the verge of ordering a second pair to use unconverted for Frontiersman.  The plan started south when I purchased the Uberti Avenging Angels and now the great scare has just about shut my shooting down until things get closer to normal (hopefully).  I pulled all of the shooting dates from my calender and plan to fish and paddle this summer!  With my small store of 22s almost gone I will even be dropping all of my back yard targets and letting the grass start growing there again this season.  Weird how things have been affected across the board, even crossbows have all but disappeared from local dealer shelves, makes me wonder what people are actually expecting??

Bob,

I hear ya.  This run of "Panic" buying and hoarding is just plain stupid.

I am actually using this opportunity to trade and sell some hardware and related goods so the scare is serving some purpose for me.  I actually like those Pieattas so much that I am not totally writing off another pair just yet.  The Pietta Navy grip is my all around second choice for a six shooter style grip, only exceeded by a Birds Head.  No doubt Pietta knew they had a winner when they priced them higher than the other models. 

If HH is to busy to snap some pictures of the finished project I will take a few when they arrive.  Do not expect mush as I am not a very good pikture taker!

Bob,

Call Dixie.  Seems they may have Angels back in stock with the Thunderer grip frame.  'Least they did Monday.

[Coffinmaker]

Bob,

As of today, Dixie has 2 less in stock 

[Hoof Hearted]

You mean these?








They were done three days after the Backordered Kirst parts arrived

I cut the rammer catches off and blended them in for FREE because of the wait

These pistols are just polished white steel and might be pretty fancy blued with the cylinders polished and re-blued also!

Yep, I have a set of those coming too.  I found the same gun at Dixie GW, blue, with 3 inch barrels.  Swell "angels."  (No engraving)
The polished steel guns with the laser engraving will be converted with Kirst goodies, like those but with the barrels cut at the Ejector Housing.  Never met a barrel too sort 
I may also convert the "Angels" too, but without ejector.  Look real silly with an ejector housing longer than the barrel
I just have a real "thing" for open topped guns.  Especially when converted. 
Now if I could just get a pair of Kirst cylinders in 45 ACP

Thanks Gary, I love them and will now be showing them off to all my buddies.   I actually had two sets of the Kirst 45acp cylinders a few years back.  They were six shooters and made for the Pietta Remingtons.  Planning to leave GA tomorrow and head back home, til then.
