[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 794359, member: 3655"] Thanks, this one was made from a Police Positive 38 in 1916 but the barrel is from a new style cobra, I had to cut down the ejector arm and rethread it so it would fit inside the groove. the 4 inch barrel was badly pitted but the frame just needed some TLC and I wanted a snubbie for a carry gun so this is what I made for myself. The colors don't show up well but the hammer, trigger and cylinder are niter blued amber. Looks kind of like chocolate in the pictures, the rest is refinished in a dark almost purple black. There is no rear sight, it is a groove in the top of the reciever and who needs a sight on a snubbie anyhow, if you have to aim in a self defense situation you have not practiced enough. This is the D frame which is smaller than the J frame and no one makes aftermarket grips for it. Thought about making some wood grips at one time but I really like these. Even though I have fat stubby fingers this gun fits my hand well and it shoots like a dream. [/QUOTE]
