Case Hardened Guns

[gerhard1]

Anyone else a fan of case hardened guns? Haven't had this out for a while, but came across it pulling some things out and need to take it to the range again. Model 22 Smith and Wesson in 45 ACP

There was one on the old Kansas forum once that I was seriously looking at. This was the same model as yours only it had the 5 1/2" barrel.

As it happens, I have two Model 22 wheelies, one 4" and the other 5 1/2", both of them blue.

This is my 5 1/2"

There's a guy named Bobby Tyler in Texas that does CCH, it looks a little different than Turnbull. Tyler Gun works I believe is the name of his company. He was setup at the Tulsa show a couple years ago.

Tyler is the best. He does factory hardening for several manufacturers. His website and social media are absolutely worth browsing.

I check his website from time to time. I have a model 58 Smith I've thought about sending to him for a cc frame and re blue the rest.

I love case hardened firearms. Now I only have my father's cheap old SAA 357 but I have had a few thru the years.

I really want a S&W 36-10, just like this one

If I won the lottery, one of the first things I'd order is a CCH 1911 with Challis mammoth tooth grips:

Taking a classic 1911 to the next level without diminishing its history is no easy feat, but adding an even more classic finish formally raises the bar. Auto-Ordnance has done just that with the new GI Series 1911 in .45 ACP with case hardened finish. This time honored tradition of working steel produces distinct and unique patterns of color long sought after by firearms aficionados. The Auto-Ordnance Case Hardened 1911s are each a work of art, covered in a beautiful, swirling finish. Includes a 7-round magazine, a checkered wood grips.

I've always appreciated CCH as well, but I always wondered how tough they are against the elements and rust.
