New Roy Stroh Pistol

[jethro224]

Been waiting for this for a long while. I knew it was going to be a long wait when I ordered it tho. It was worth the wait.

The barrel is a 12" .55 smoothbore from Charlie Burton. Roy made most of the brass furniture himself. It's nice and light, the trigger feels great, and she throws sparks like the 4th of July.
Won't get to try 'er out until next weekend and I can hardly wait.

Now that is sharp as hell! I remember you telling me about that pistol and that you've been waiting quite a while for it.

It was definitely worth the wait! That's a gorgeous pistol!!

You gonna let me shoot it? :grin:

BTW: Me and Roy STROH are related and he'd want me to!!

Respectfully, Cowboy ( Ferrell STROH) :wink:

 

[jethro224]

You sure 'nuff can shoot it, Cowboy. Next weekend at Leroy.

Very nice, I like the brass lock plate.

 

[jbwilliams3]

Awesome. Just got a picture update from a rifle Roy is making for me. Also a long time in coming but I'm waiting like a kid at Christmas.

Like the others have said that is a beauty. That sure makes a fellow want for a twin to it. What size powder charge do you plan to start with in that pistol? ,,,DT

 

[jethro224]

What size powder charge do you plan to start with in that pistol?

Probably about 20 grains of 3F on the low end. I'd guess 25-30 will be the go-to load. I'll test it up to 50-55 for a possible hunting load.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I really like Roy's work. Several of my best guns were built by Roy.

 

[BillinOregon]

Jethro, it is gorgeous. I am taking it as a sign Roy is getting closer to building me my .40 flint poor boy.

 

[jethro224]

Probably a good sign.
From what I've heard Roy has been a busy guy here lately. Back up to speed and maybe even overdrive. :haha:
