Reeder Custom Guns - I've always liked the idea of a full sized SAA .22

In the 60's they made some but pot metal chassis with steel liners for chambers and the barrel. Pretty cobby really.

I know Uberti makes some fine full size chassis guns. Some 6-shot and the 12-shooters really are interesting.

Is there any odd things with the 12 shot?

Are they really heavy, being all that steel and a teeny bore? Part of the charm and feel of the Colt SAA (other than maybe the .32-20) is that lively feel afforded to most of it being a big hole.

Sometimes a good idea runs afoul in application.

color case frames. One has faux ivory grips and the other fancy 1 piece walnut grips. Both are 6 shot, but you could have gotten a 12 shot...but they just never caught my eye with all those notches in the cylinder. I'm kind of a traditionalist. Those USFA revolvers are really a fine piece, about as good as it gets. I have 6 of the Premium SAA models, 2 in .22 convertibles and 4 in 44 Special, one of which is a nickel plated w/fancy 1 piece walnut grips from their custom shop. One of the .22 and 3 of the 44 Specials have yet to leave their original shipping boxes. Someday I will get around to using them....I guess.
