Introduced in 1988. Designed by gunsmith Bill Grover of Texas Longhorn Arms as an homage and improvement on famed six gun shooter and gunsmith Elmer Keith's legendary "Number 5" revolver with a limited production of only 1,200. The revolver was designed by Grover to be loaded, and unloaded, from the right hand with the loading gate and ejector rod on the left side. The unfluted cylinder rotates in a counter clockwise manner as opposed to the more common clockwise motion traditionally found in revolvers. Fitted with a fixed blade front and adjustable rear notch sights on the octagon barrel marked "IMPROVED NUMBER 'FIVE'" on the top flat, an octagon ejector rod housing, and an attractive Bisley pattern smooth burl grip.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish and case colors with limited handling marks and an attractive plum coloration on the cylinder and grip strap. Mechanically excellent.
