DeaconKC Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 A couple years ago, a pitiful S&W Victory Model came into my LGS. Filthy, it was a British Lend Lease that started with a 5" barrel and chambered in .38 S&W. Somebody cut the barrel down, reamed the cylinder to take .38 Specials and generally abused and neglected the poor little beast. Well, it was cheap enough and I bought it. I scrubbed 50 years worth of old grease and mung out of it and found a nice, nice S&W K frame action was still in there. Lots of polishing on the little beast gave it a semi-presentable appearance and I decided to make a Fitz out of it. So I bobbed the hammer and cut the triggerguard away. It is now a good shooter with .38 S&W rounds. Then yesterday a set of genuine stag grips came along and it is now wearing those and looking even better [surprisingly, it still had it's original grips when I got it]. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Quite cool! Although the original "Fitz" was a Colt (brainchild of John Henry Fitzgerald, who worked for Colt) this is a plumb cool adaptation! On the TV series "Blue Bloods," Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) carried a Fitz ~ passed down to him from his pop, an earlier Commissioner. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 (edited) You should not post a thread like this on Halloween. At least not titled like this. I read it as "dressing up AS a mudpuppy". Wanted to see you in your crawdad costume. Edited November 1 by Alpo 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
