John,

I just finished replacing my springs and it made a world of difference. Enjoy your M-40 and let us see some of your rigs for a j-frame.

Okay guys. Here is another one. Forgive the poor pics. I ran out to the shop and took them in a hurry. Also, I know the stocks are crap and the fit is really bad. Better ones are on the way.

Now to the story. This was my 640 that I carried everyday for about seen years. It looked like it had been drug down a gravel road behind a pickup truck. Those of you who have carried a stainless j for a long time know what I'm talking about. So, I sent it to Uncle Bill at C&S and told him to make is purdy for an article.

Bill performed his magic by:

polishing the trigger and doing an action job
recutting the cylinder release to avoid the j-frame thumb - you know what I'm talking about!
did a complete carry bevel
polished all the screws and pins
polished the cylinder flutes and rear of the cylinder
opened up the rear sight
installed a dovetailed front sight with a gold bead.

The photos don't do it justice but trust me, it a cool little carry piece that gets attention.

Enjoy,

Rob

Rob,

Here is a new one I just finished - never thought much of pocket carry, but I forget the 40 is even there.

John just got into my wallet for an IWB rig that is cut very much like his Uncle Lou. I asked that he build it with a straight drop so it can be used in an appendix position as well as traditional strong side. I'll post a couple of pics when I get it.

Seriously, give me a call about the rig shown in this post.

A buddy of mine bought a Model 40-1 for a wedding gun. At the last minute, he decided he really wanted ivory stocks. Nutmeg did these in less than 10 days. Fit, finish, and color are outstanding. BTW, he carried it in my elephant trimmed rig from Matt that was show earlier in this post.

Forgive the poor pictures. We were running out of light and he had been carrying the gun so it is not wiped down like I would have liked. The next stop for this one is with C&S for an action job and maybe on to Dan Love for some engraving.

JR, eat your heart out :lol: :lol: :lol:

Enjoy,

Rob

John,

This is belongs to Josh, my son's friend who has an order in with you for a belt, holster, and drop pouch. By the way, my son wore your rig at his wedding and carried the nickel Model 36 that I carried in my wedding.

Thanks for all you help. I'll be in touch.

Rob
