a nice little Freedom Arms Model 97 just finished
This little beauty belongs to Jim Taylor and is a dual cylinder, 45 ACP and 45 Long Colt. The ACP cylinder is in the gun, I am still working on the 45 Long Colt cylinder.

WOW!!l Really Nice Gary!
That really adds to an already special gun!
THANK YOU!!
The Shootist presented that gun to me in 2005
and had voted me "Shootist of the Decade". I am in prestigious company. John Taffin was the first "Shootist of the Decade". I was 2nd and Jeff Quinn was 3rd.
This is how they presented me the gun.

It was really humbling and I have appreciated it ever since. For some time I wanted to add something to the gun and now Gary has done it!
