Custom Revolver's?

Obviously not the right place but with so many here that appreciate fine rifles and guns put together right I was curious if any have the same appreciation for fine revolvers. I am now getting hooked on Ruger Old Models and currently have a New Model Bisley Vaquero at a 'smith being tweaked. Also have a nice Texas Longhorn Arms #5 that shoots incredibly well. What ya' got?

I shot PPC competition for several years with tricked out smiths with heavy barrels,ribs with multi position sights and action jobs...now have Ruger Bisley with just action work,Smiths with action jobs and custom sights and Python with action job and custom sights....the Smiths have been timed and the cly tightened for end shake and barrel cut square......same basic tune up-tighten up on a couple of semis ....nothing with too much "custom" work-aftermarket parts and all in same chambering as from factory.....and for loading for them..I just find a good load and turn it out in large batchs when the mood hits for some short gun shooting!!!

I have only one true custom revolver... so far. I had Bowen do a Ruger Bisley for me and I'm tickled with it. It is a five shot conversion with a color cased frame and hammer, ovate barrel with integral front sight ramp, Bowen's new Rough Country rear sights and many other details that make this my favorite handgun. I've been intrigued by the Texas Longhorn Arm's # 5's ever since they were brought to market. I would like to find one just to have.
