It's all original thus far. He bought it new in the sixties and had a custom leather holster made in mexico shortly thereafter. I grew up with it in the car 24-7. I figure it's time to gussy it up a bit. The only alteration he's ever done to it is to paint the front sight with a coating of typwriter "white out" as a base coat, then a coating of red fingernail polish on top of that. Seem like someone once told me it's the same gun jack ruby used to shoot JFK's killer. Maybe that was just a "yarn" told to me as a kid to make me go "wow!"

I don't know anything about those hammer shrouds - do you have to drill and tap anything on a fine old revolver to install them? Please tell me I have nothing to worry about...

Otherwise the hip-grip and tyler T sound like an interesting combination.

Tyler T is one of the best accessories ever. Makes a small gun fit big hands and make an N frame size with small grips fill your hand with less bulky wood. Love em.
