Anything I can do to make this more accurate?

Is there any modifications I could make to this pistol I got at a gun show to make it more accurate?

The picture is pretty dark on my monitor so it's hard to see details.

Overall I think you have a great find there.

Since you have a Stembridge site, the biggest thing to make it SA is the tip of the barrel is silver colored/de-blued. Depending on the nature of the gun and it's history, you may not want to mess with aesthetics if it will hurt it's historical (and retail) value.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

Don't know much about making it SA, but it's a very nice find and a great buy!

And I also very much like the whip, the holster and the belt!

Cheers,
Bear

Todd’s for the belt and holster.

Adam Winrich made the Whip in 07

Since you asked, from the pic alone, a 4 inch barrel and a lanyard swivel.

Probably new grips as well

Grips are good as long as they're checkered. Again, pic quality...

Much better, indeed! The grips are very nice!

Do you have a review/thread with pics for the whip, IndyFan?

Cheers,
Bear

I don’t. When I got it Adam was quitting the whip making business so that might’ve been why.

Wait, you got what looks to be a Crystal Skull bullwhip from Adam in '07 when the actual movie was released in '08?

IndyFan89 · Post by **IndyFan89** » Fri Oct 13, 2017 8:17 pm

We new what the whip looked like in ‘07 from not only trailers and promo photos but I believe there was also specs posted on this very forum by folks with insider knowledge of some sort.

Practice, practice and more practice, is the best thing. There is really not you can do in the way of actual modifications to the gun. You might have a good gunsmith check it to make sure the cylinder is properly timed, so that the chambers line up with the barrel properly and that the cylinder barrel gap is within specs. You might put a lighter trigger/action spring in, along with giving it a good internal cleaning and relube job. I did that on a 1921 Hand Ejector and it helped some. best thing was a slightly reduced trigger pull.

Isn't that what the New York cabbie said when his fare asked him, "how do I get to Carnegie Hall?"
