For any of you that have been considering a custom revolver, go for it!
I just received a Ruger Redhawk in .45 Colt back from Gary Reeder. He cut the barrel to 4", cut a DEEP crown, throated it and reduced the gap. He also rounded the hump on the backstrap and softened all of the edges. It now has a v-notch rear sight and a gold bead on the front. It also has his custom gunfighter grips and an action job. He refinished it in a satin look (it is stainless) with a polished trigger, hammer and other small parts. It has some new engraving, as well.
This revolver is one hell of a shooter now, too! It can handle anything from mild CAS loads, to really hot and heavy hunting loads. Accuracy is simply astounding.
Custom guns don't come cheap, but I feel this was well worth the expense.
