snowman Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Round butt grip on square butt frame perhaps? Or maybe a K/L frame gripe on an N frame? Cheers. Edited April 16, 2007 by snowman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shao14 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 hehe, looks like just wasn't installed perfectly. Nice photos by the way. I think I still like the old midnight blue better. The new midnight gold has a bronze look to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dirtyharry.44 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 yes, I agree. the new midnight finish does have a bronze look. BTW - there is 1 thing better about the new finish, I don't believe it is anywhere near as easy to scratch as the old one, as snowman once mentioned - he believed the old midnight finish was obtained by nothng but a few layers of clear paint, which is probably why it was so easy to scratch.

amateurstuntman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I had a Jpoint in case my P226 tritium sight project failed, I thought it would look good on the ol' Bull. What do you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 any thoughts on the bull? are they worth the dough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well, the hop is actually pretty good, I use .45s and green and I get quite tight groupings with the thing. Problems, the finish is a bit plasticky, the grip is woeful and the shells cost a fair bit, the speed loaders are cheap though. If you can find somewhere that will let you use it in a skirmish it is a great tool for getting people to take their hits and for the "faeconator factor". For messing about and plinking it is good fun, the shells are so tactile. I like mine, I want another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guardsman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 my constrictor, sorry its not the nicest picture to look at, but its in pieces again because i have worn out the part i made for it. once its back together i will take some artistic shots of it. stunt, where did you get the speed loaders from?

Shao14 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Part of me just wants to put a midnight gold SAA on my student loan LAWL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This might push you over the edge then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Woohoohoo that is nice! Very tempting BTW any SAA owners tried putting a one-piece grip on their gun? I got this one for mine but it must have been for the wrong generation because it didn't fit. I mean it was $7 on eBay, so not a huge loss, but I've really wanted to do that for a while. Anyone know what gen the Tanakas replicate? I wanna say two, but I'm no real expert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msx361 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Does this count Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Does this count I think you'll find from the number of them in this thread that it does --- Can anyone attest to the quality of small marushin revolvers.. most notably the 2 inch M60/M36 models.. cheers.

msx361 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sry about the size guys, the forum wont let me edit my post to make them smaller, keeps coming up with an error. I havent looked through the whole thread sorry. I got a marushin ultimate revolver too, but i dont have any pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I should probably stop buying revolvers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) My perfect backup! Despite being a bit pathetic, but fun none the less. I've been using my S&W 500 magnum as primary for some time now but never found a good backup gun for it, not that I really need one but due to lots of complaints about insane-range kills and peek-a-boo headshots. Then I thought: only a revolver befits a revolver. So I picked the weakest of the bunch, also the cheapest since I blew off cash on the fancy bag and real steel rear sights on the Tanaka. Shao, please stop posting pics. I'm broke enough as it is. Edited April 30, 2007 by renegadecow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Operator Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Tanaka .357 Magnum FBI Specials. The one on the right is for sale boxed as new, PM me if interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt.Fenix Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Do the new midnight finishes really look that.. gold-ish? I ask this because some sites actually refer to the finish as midnight gold, while some call it midnight black. Also to further add to the confusion, their pictures seem back their claims up (for both cases). Tanaka isn't making two different finishes are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 There's no such thing as Midnight Black It's Midnight Gold and always looks that way in photos, but I've not seen one in the abs. That Python looks nice though... Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
