Charles, a great story that brings back some fond memories for me.

Back in the mid 60s, I had some summer job money burning a hole in my pocket, so I ordered a basket weave Bianchi holster and belt rig, and a set of Herrett Jordan Troopers (fancy walnut) for my prized M19. The grips proved too big so I modified them to fit me and finished off, with multiple coats of tru oil and then hand rubbed with rotten stone. Loaded ammo with a Lyman 310 tong tool (which I sent to Rob L, to be gifted to a new shooter) – even exchanged a few letters with Dean Grennel (Sp?) on load data. The gun was stolen in the 70s and I finally replaced it several years ago with a 19-3. Here is the “19-3” with a set Grasshorn elk stags, in the 1960s era Bianchi holster (the belt was worn out long ago).
