Not a Levergun but it goes with one ...

Post by JimT »

My .44 Special needed a set of one-piece grips. The factory ones are pretty much like what came on some of the old Colts but the black just didn't "do" it for me.

So I sent the gripframe and triggerguard off to Paul Persinger and he worked his magic in walnut for me.

The fit and finish is almost perfect.

If you need grip work .. consider Paul. You can mention my name to him. We've been friends for many years. It won't help you get a better price but it will let him know I appreciate his work. :)

Agree, Walks. Mr. Persinger know how to fit set of grips. That's a fine sixgun, Jim!

Nice grips you have there. I'd like to have some stags on my Rodeo but not in the budget right now. How do you like your USFA? I wish mine had a little heavier trigger pull, but other wise its a great revolver.

I lightened the hammer spring and installed a Wolff trigger/bolt spring .. smoothed up the let-off and took out any creep in the trigger. Other than that I just shoot it.

I have had the gun for 12 years or so and have no complaints.

Nothing like a good set of custom grips. I had a local guy make a set of one piece grips for a first generation Colt out of rose wood...
