We appreciate you too Brother. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank You kindly!

Outstanding job on fitting/finishing those grips... truly a one of a kind setup on your Ruger. Love the 2 tone look with the new grip frame as well. Speaking of Allianz powder...I have an entire keg of RL15.

[@BrokenBarBox]

With the two tone finish, it reminds me of Skeeters flat top .44. Just a classic and beautiful gun

[@j_c_hunt]

Thank you very much! I liked the look of the two tone. I’m debating having this one converted to flat top to complete the look.

[@JWheeler331]

I really like how this one turned out. It’s a look I’m going for also but mine will have the color case hardened frame

[@j_c_hunt]

Thanks! Man that sounds like it’ll be a fine looking piece!

[@white_phosphor_philosopher]

Looks dang good!

[@j_c_hunt]

Much obliged!

If it’s not too far of a drive you are more than welcome to join us at the range close to Weiss lake Alabama.

+1 on the grip frame upgrade brother. I’ll be doing the same on my blued 6.5” NMblackhawk.

[@j_c_hunt]

It greatly improved the balance seems like to me. I don’t mind the added weight all that much either.

[@brickhammerSS]

Very interesting video. Did you do a video on all the work you had to do to get the grip frame to fit? That sounds interesting. I just got a 45 Blackhawk 7.5 inch stainless and trying to teach myself to reload so ill be keeping a eye on your channel for some tips and tricks

[@j_c_hunt]

I didnt film the fitting process, and I realize now I should have. I appreciate it!

[@jesseboutdoors]

Just did a couple of videos with my Blackhawk 👍🇺🇸

[@j_c_hunt]

I checked them out! Good stuff! Appreciate the view!

She purdy! ❤

[@j_c_hunt]

As my buddy Evan says, #FunctionalArt ! Thanks!

[@mikecompton6401]

How much weight did that grip frame add?

[@j_c_hunt]

Unfortunately I didn’t think to weigh it before and after. I will say it feels more balanced to me with it, than with the aluminum one it had

[@jerryreynolds8151]

Did you make any changes to the action or trigger?

[@j_c_hunt]

I did a wolf reduced power spring set, and slightly polished the existing mating surfaces. I just acquired a power custom stoning jig to do a good action job to the hammer/trigger.

[@jerryreynolds8151]

@j_c_hunt I'm just getting into the Ruger single actions. Both of mine are early 2000 manufacturer. The action on my single six is fantastic but my Redhawk trigger pull is heavier that I would like. Thanks for sharing your videos, keep them coming 👍

[@Stump51]

Why you chose the 45 colt.

[@fjb4932]

Stump51, Good joke. Oh..."Because they don't make a 46 !" ☆

[@Stump51]

@@fjb4932 do not get woke.

[@BrokenBarBox]

Because the 45 Colt is never wrong

[@gregggoodwill9391]

How much fiddling did you have to do to get the frame to fit? Thanks

[@j_c_hunt]

It came way oversized and took some careful fitting to keep from damaging the blue on the frame. It’s. It a terrible job, just time consuming
