another special one finished earlier today
This one is a several week project doing the high polishing and the full engraving then a second polishing. It is a full custom 3" Smith & Wesson model 629 in 44 Magnum. It has been accurized and slicked up inside and out. The finger groove grips are a dark English walnut. With all the special things done to it plus the price of the gun it should run a bit north of $3200. It is specially priced at $2195.

Next is one of our Ultimate Encores in 378 GNR. We bought the frame from another shop going out of business and have more than I like in it, which means it ain't cheap. But it is a great big game hunting gun. It has been my favorite handgun in at least 10 African safaris. The barrel is 15 1/2" including the muzzle brake. The action has had an action job and has elk engraved on one side and African game on the other side. Normally for a top end big game hunting handgun it would be priced around $2000. I wouldn't sell my personal 378 GNR for less than $2500. This one is priced at $1695.
