IIRC, TALO is the only place you can get a Ruger single-action with a birdshead grip....
Thank you. I am associated with TALO as the Executive Director for the last 14 years. I helped to make Lew Horton Specials before this.
I'll take responsibility for most of the "stupid, over-priced, downgrades".
I am not offended. Can't please them all.
Much of the email we get at TALO is from folks who are pretty happy with their guns.
We'll keep doing it.
Thanks for the kind words.
So I have seen many firearms being sold with the TALO description. As far as I understand it, Talo is a distributor of firearms. So they take a gun, put some nice grips on it, change the finsih and viola, an extra $300-$400 dollars retail. Is this just a cosmetics job or do they really enhance the firearm. By such I mean, better reliabity, accuracy, and durability. At the moment I place them along side a commerative that no one asked for or no one cared anout. Am I right in this assumation or not?
I have the Wiley Clapp Ruger GP-100, and think it's well worth the $125 I paid above a standard model. Besides the different finish, grips, and sights, the DA trigger much smoother out of the box than the standard model.
There are some TALO models I like and some I don't.
The Wiley Commander 1911 and the GP100 are two that I think TALO knocked out of the park.
