Great engraving year, and a beautiful gun. I have two of its little 1918 straight gripped brothers.

Life is too short to drink cheap whisky, or hunt with an ugly gun. Obviously not telling Craig anything new.

Wonderful dimensions and weight… and the straight grip sure does it for me!

Nice gun Craig. Never been a big fan of the straight grippers although I do have a few. I could probably make room for that one somehow. Congrats !

I’m so glad you’re willing to let some straight grips go
