Hamilton Bowen Trip

SUPER day today with revolvermeister Hamilton Bowen, although I gotta say I need to take gunwriter John Taffin's advice and cut down on my diet of BIG BLASTERS! A couple of more .475 Linebaughs and 300-grain .44 Magnums out of scandium-framed ultra-lites and my wrist is going to sue me for damages.

One cool thing, then more when I get home. Hamilton has a really neat line of J-frame snubby fixed sites coming out — perfect for thoise weird alloy guns where it's impossible to get a clean site picture. On seeing his arrangement, I was amazed noboyd had thought of it before. He's also in beta on his S&W Rough Country sites, which give you the same picture as Bo-Mars...a boon to competition shooters.

Also, my .38/40 N-frame S&W project is coming along nicely — I got to watch them chamber the cylinders. I'll take pictures and post 'em when the gun is done!
