Good news first.  I just finished my order for a brand new '51 Navy, a holster and a belt! 

Bad news.  It's back-ordered 3-4 weeks......  sigh.... :(

Are you serious?  3 to 4 weeks for leather is not a back order.  Right now most guns, reloading supplies and leather are back logged for months.

It's down from 7-8 weeks last week.......  But I am kind of signing deeply.  It won't arrive until the day before I leave for a two week vacation, or soon thereafter.   >:(  I doubt they'll leave the package on the front doorstep when it's that big.   sniffle sniffle.

Ain't got a choice in the matter. :'(  This vacation has been planned since December, so.....  I've waited a few years, two more weeks won't kill me, I don't think.....

Wow.....that's a purty fair piece.  I just got my leather in the mail last night, so I'm happy.  Now I just have to wait for the Colt to arrive so I can shape the holster...

Trinity,

I have the "gun that never was' an old ASM '51 Colt in .44 Cal. ... your photos convinced me to go out and clean them from last weekend ... they don't really ever get dirty ... four or five rounds using floral foam instead of bullets ... BUT they do have to be cleaned of the black powder ...

Your telling me, three years ago I had one 19th century firearm.  Yesterday my 'new to me' 3rd model Dragoon arrived via the friendly postman.  I am up to six now!
