Recent little project to put some shine back on the old single six. The OEM black on the grip frame was chipped real bad.
-
Nice job. What did you use to color it ? Ceracoat? I’ve tried some of the Paint products and haven’t been impressed. I think ceracoat is my next adventure

Elroy doing nice work as usual. The speckeled primer is a cool look on it's own.

tell elroy that single six is one sharp looking hog leg.
i kind of wish mine looked that good but on the other hand mine has some nice patina. not beat up, just patina.

Elroy always brings something to a project and this one is no exception.

That's not primer. That raw aluminum fresh from the blaster.
What did you use to color it ?
That's just semi-gloss black out of a spray bomb.

It might be a stretch to call that single-six a hog leg. After all it's just a .22 Granted it's shown with the magnum cylinder.
The pre-model 25 N-Frame in .45 ACP is more like a hog leg. Just like a Snappy ratchet. They're just cool tools but for a different job.

Tell Elroy I like his taste in wheel guns. He can come shoot with me and my pre hillary hole smiths and rugers anytime.

spilttin hairs on the hogleg there elroy but i will take you opinion into consideration......... :))

If you're like Elroy and a hold preference for a Smith and Wesson....................Pick your poison
These are all .38 special with a .22, .357 and a .45 tossed in for verity. The oldest is the M&P model of 1905 at the top left. It's well over a 100 years old in mint condition !!
The newest is at the bottom right. It's a 1970 vintage model 19-2 in 357 Magnum.
Elroy has been referred to as Revolver Boy by his local auto lover friends. Elroy has a few autos as well, but the revolvers catch Elroy's eye :)

Beautiful work as usual! Big fan of Rugers here, but Elroy has some great S&W
