    Well its been a long wait, but yesterday Mr Westlake delivered the goods, well almost, he didnt have the spare cylinder I ordered, so that will take a few weeks longer.

    The workmanship looks first class as expected.

    I have the wadcutters, powder and shotgun primers, so tomorrow it looks like it will be its first trip to the range.

    Thumbs up

    Now that is a thing of beuty. Please keep us informed as to how it shoots. I held one at the Newark show a few weeks ago and it just felt right in the hand compared to the long barrel of the Taurus.
    Are the wad cutters readily available or do you have to get them through Westlakes and did you have any problems with the licencing authorities? Tim.

    I saw one yesterday at Phoenix. The memories come flooding back as you pick it up!

    But again, unfortunately, at over 950 quid for the supplied finished model...... That's alot of money. Especially for a Taurus.

    It's beautiful, Wobbly! How did it shoot?
