Default LadyHawk in 38Super & 9mm
Yup, that is correct, I purchased a nighthawk (Ladyhawk) Hand hand surgery and liked the smaller grip radius in 9mm.
But, I am a BIG FAN of 38Super (I have 4 including a 2011 custom made called the GREEN HORNET) THAT SHOOTS 38SUPER-MAJOR. I had Larry Lyles at Nighthawk cut a 38SUper barrel and barrel bushing for me, he sent it up and I had my GS do the fitting) it is now one sweet 38Super shooter..

Really Nice, Gary.

I like how you did the Two Tone with the Small Parts, that is what I am in the Process of doing with my Remy R1, except with Nickel Plated small parts..............

Thanks , If ever one had the same on their guns (color, parts finish etc), we would need only one gun and pass it around to whom ever is next to use it.

You should see what I did to a Kimber 9mm Ageis (hint: Is not your every day Kimber 9mm any more).

Post a photo when you are finished with your Upgrades.

Beautiful piece. I'd like to find a 38 super in 1911. Shame DW doesn't make one off the shelf.

Easy to Find, I now have 4-1911's in 38Super and one 2011 in 38 Super.
Great cartridge, shoots nice and flat and has a good selection of loads.

You can get a Schumann Barrel in 38 Super for one of your DW's that is in 9mm and have it fitted.

now you can practice with the 9 and carry the 38Super, by doing a quick change of Barrel & bushing.
It works out just fine.
Gary
