      Ordering a gun?

      I'm curious I'm looking for a very specific gun that no one seems to have in stock. Is it ok to ask my local dealer if he could order it for me etc? Not too sure on etiquette in this situation and what is the norm. PS> for the curious it is a blued Ruger Vaquero 5.5" barrel in 357.;)

      Opinions on handles

      So 3 of the same knife and I was working on different handles to see how they would come out. Any opinions/suggestion/comments? One is dark walnut that I need to sand a lot more and finish. One is camo g10. And the last is neon green g10 with mitered edges and a nice finger rest area.
