Dean, Rusty gets mistaken for a Toller, and there is good reason for it since sable coat Border Collies like him were part of the original blend that produced the Nova Scotia Toller breed. He's been an indispensable partner for 7 seasons now.
Craig, the straight grip isn't original, but I buy "shooters" that may or may not have already been altered and then if need be, tailor them to my needs/ desires. The guns I can afford are never collector condition guns, and sometimes are even in need of repair. I usually hunt 100+ days each year (the reason I can't afford a pristine Parker!). That's a lot of time spent carrying a gun, I really appreciate a great gun in my hands during those hours.
