Steve,
Interesting stuff thanks for sharing. I got a call from a friend who read this thread a suggested that I not reinvent the wheel. He pointed out the US Fire Arms Company makes a single-action in 44-special with 4 ¾” barrel and target sights. Made like the Colt flattop with a blued frame. I did some checking and seems they are well respected so that looks like what I may start with. Anyone have a set of Roper Grips for a SAA?
