Chuck, I was reserving my comments until I found words suitable to compliment your craftsmanship. I am still looking. Until then, I will pick my jawbone off my knees and get back to looking at this one again.

Well done, amigo!

Rob, you got to be kiddin me man. All I can afford is a mag or two of ammo. But I get to look at the pic of this beauty for free :D

Looking at this rarity for the umpteenth time and all the treatments Mr Rogers gave it, the one that stands out to me is the soft gentle melting given all the surfaces. It just "flows" to the eye.

Great looking pistol. More superlatives can't say it any better--simply, great looking.

I may be asking a question that everybody else knows the answer to, but whose sights are those and do they take a standard "Novak-sized" cut?

Again, great looking gun.

The rear sight is my own 'Tier One' model. It uses the standard Novak cut.
I'm currently fabricating them in small numbers from pre-heat treated 4142 Chrome-moly steel.
Hopefully I'll be able to get them into production this year. Until then, they are only available on my full-house builds.
Thanks all for the comments!
:)

Chuck,
Beautiful work! What kind of gray finish is that? love your sights and like the grips who made them?
Thanks,
Sam

I had a great conversation with Mr. Rogers about his sights, I've ordered a 10-8 for now, but will prob. replace it with one of his once they become available. Great job Chuck, and it was great chatting with you. You are a true gentleman.

Cheers,

Fred
