Hamilton Bowen is a benchmark of excellence in custom pistolsmithing, specifically in revolver work. Building a reputation over the course of the last 45+ years for excellence. This revolver visited Hamilton’s shop for the RS01 Standard Issue Tune up Package, where Hamilton Tunes the complete action, checks/corrects critical dimensions like B/C gap, throats and forcing cone, fit Bowen rear sight and O/S locking Base pin. Also done was a litany of fine options to include:

-Polished Blue finish

-Color Case Harden frame and gate

-Fit Bisley Hammer

This gun is really a lovely example, on a classic, 1978 Ruger. Gun has seen very little use since returning from Hamilton’s shop.  This revolver has all the paperwork shown with the original box.  The resultant revolver is a handy, lightweight do-all gun, with the 45 ACP and 45 Colt cylinders, and short barrel and alloy grip frame it is a fantastic sidearm!

Note the last picture in the gallery, Pictured is Hamilton and Bill Laughridge receiving their Lifetime Achievement Awards from the American Custom Gunmakers Guild.
