Thanks MP. Yes(the Python was sent to Colt & the Paraordnance & Browning by an engraver in KY),the other Revolvers were done by a well known engraver and great friend that had a shop nearby until his death around 10 years ago.

Nothing extra fancy in leather,DD. Just well made holsters by various makers. I've carried & used most of my engraved guns. Just enjoy the artful appearance of good engraving as well as a little custom action work,etc for better performance. I used to shoot on a regular basis which was always quite fun.

I just pulled my early-WWII vintage P-38 out of the vault. My father took it off an officer and they let him take it home. I still have the authorization paper. That was really a different time. I've fired this twice; before that it could have been just test fired.
That S&W .44 posted earlier brings back good memories. My dad wanted to get me a new gun for my 18th, and was surprised when I asked for a long barreled, stainless .44 magnum. It was a beauty, and a blast to shoot. I got an idea of the power when shooting at some targets mounted on hay bales. I heard the bullet pass through, and heard it go through a wood barn, and keep whining on its way for about three more seconds. I was terrified I had killed every neighbor, cow and horse for miles, until we found the bullet at the end of a long trench in the dirt, very far from where I shot it, several hundred yards from the exit wound on the barn. Sold it when I moved to CA for rent money, should have kept it and lived out of my car. Frank
P.S. - yes, I know, terrible gun safety, and my dad taught me better, but teenage boys do dumb stuff when there's pretty girls around. The girl I let shoot it next had it fly right out of her hand. She needed a lot of consoling.
Thought some of you might like to see my collection of "folk art" (smirk) shotgun plugs I e removed from the magazine tubes of shotguns! Some are a bit interesting. Others show the desperation of the Hunter seeing the approach of the local game officer!
They are extremely easy to remove! I do it for people all the time.
The long knobby end opposite the key way. Well take a hack saw and cut that end off. Tap the brass piece that's now exposed out with a good punch. Won't take much. And you knock the remaining bits of the lock right out!
