I like that Bisley hammer idea. GG where did you get those grip medallions? I really like those, they look so cool (being that I'm originally a Texan. Lone Star and such).

I'll look into that. I do remember having trouble finding the exact same size as the original Ruger medallions.

Grips with Ruger can get mind boggling... at least for me.

I forgot to look this up the first time you asked but after 20 minutes of searching, I figured out where I got those medals four years ago.

TOMBSTONE GUN GRIPS

Thought about it and went back to 'smithing on my Single Six.
These old eyes don't work anymore with that patridge profile I put on the original front sight. So I confabulated a Marbles front ramp and front rifle sight. BIG DIFFERENCE. Now I can see that bead clearly.


Next part of the project is to gin up a shallow "V" with white center line rear sight blade. I'm pondering that I might make it out of a feeler gauge blade of proper thickness.
And, GG thanks for the "tombstone" source for the grip medallions. I found that Altamont sells birdshead grips for Ruger and they have a style perfect for this pistol. Now all I have to do is wait till they are back in stock.

oh yeah, almost forgot. RDW over in Houston, TX is making a Super Blackhawk style hammer for the Single Six. I got one on order.

I installed the rear sight blade and the results were as good as I'd hoped. Now I'm waiting on the hammer and I'll finish this project.
