These are sweet guns!
They were all built with balanced cylinders and a trigger job from the factory.
They are very high quality guns.
I have 5 of them.
Two stainless engraved 44s, a stainless 22/22 mag, a rare 45 colt stainless and the rarest of all, a one of a kind custom built by an employee of the company for himself with a 12" buntline barrel along with 4 other barrels, 2 extra hammers, 2 extra ejector rods & housings, an extra gold plated trigger and a set of custom ivory grips all in a custom made case.
This one was built in the MIDLAND VA facility when they were located there about 40 miles from me.
They were only there about 6 or 7 years before moving somewhere else.
Would love to find the other three engraved models to go with the two I have that were offered in the series of five set.
Maybe one day?

There are some who are collecting them, like myself but I am only really looking for the stainless, fully engraved models in 44 mag, although I do have others.
In NIB condition it would be worth more than one that has been fired if you find someone who is after one like it.
Mostly they are just super fine shooters that never really caught on.
