This is my "Traveling gun." I picked it up used in Wasilla Ak and moved it down here to AZ I had Alan Harton champor the Cylinder and cut the barrel and built the front sight. Milt Morrison did an action job on it. I sold it to Andy Shelton, he traded it to Lee Jurras and I traded Lee out of it for a CZ97 in 45ACP.

None of mine qualify as customs, but I realized the other day that I have seven 629's and not a one of them is a standard 629...

Not very custom, just a 2nd HE with carved ivories.

Here is a no frills working gun I had Andy Horvath do for me. Base was an OM 357 Mag, added 7.5" Ruger SBH barrel, taller front sight blade, high polish dark blue, and an action job. A good shooting 44 Special.

Clements .44 Special conversion

Built on a 5" nickel FL Highway Patrol contract gun. Walnut Fishpaw grips.

I won't pick a favorite, but this revolver is one of the two or three in that conversation. I need to take a better picture with its wonderful Cumberland Flap holster.

I'll also make some pictures of my special Dashiell gun... a .44 Special Triple Lock target that I bought last summer, in his honor. 100 years young!

Does it have to look good? It IS custom though.
