Outstanding!! Where were you hunting?? What load were you using?? I have a Bowen Nimrod conversion in .45 Colt. I have only shot it about 50 times. He is building me a 32-20 now.

I posted the requested detail on the South American Hunting thread......thanks for your interest.  Bowen does wonderful work. And for you revolver enthusiasts I would recommend his book, The Custom Revolver.....And you are correct, Peter, "bore" is not a word to use with a Bowen revolver.....

Would you post a close up of that revolver? Ivory and blue are so classic. ALLEN W.

If you like single action revolvers try to get a copy of Hamilton's book. "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

Here is my Bowen .45 Colt. Blue, Case color and Roy Fishpaw Ivory.  When I get my 32-20 with Ivory I will post pictures. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety (1759) | |||

Thanks Bill and Monty - great pistols. Hamilton Bowens crisp case coloring and blue and ivory (or elk) is just a work of art. Anyone else? ALLEN W.

Allen, Thanks, I gotta give credit where credit is due, the case coloring is by Doug Turnbull and the Ivory grips are by Roy Fishpaw. I also have a set of walnut grips by Fishpaw (see photo). All of these men do exquisite work. More expensive than some but worth every penny. Bowen is doing a 32-20 for me now. It will also have case color by Doug Turnbull and Ivory grips by Roy Fishpaw. I will post pictures when it is done.  Safe shooting, Monty Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety (1759) | |||
