Description:

Texas Longhorn Arms Inc. was started by Bill Grover in the early 1980s with the goal of making high quality revolvers based on famous Colt designs, but with certain improvements. Grover believed that Samuel Colt had to have been left-handed due to the designs of his revolvers being awkward to load for right-handed shooters. Therefore, all of the models made by Texas Longhorn Arms had the ejector rods and loading gates moved to the left side, a more natural position for a right-handed shooter. At the time, these revolvers never really caught on and the company went out of business in 1998 with limited numbers of revolvers produced, leading to them being very desirable in today's market. Revolver "T-22" is fitted with Hawaiian koa grips, a ramped blade front sight and adjustable rear sight as well as "GROVER'S TEXAS TARGET" marked on the top of the barrel, "A-22" is fitted with burl black walnut grips, a blade front and notch rear sight with "GROVER'S TEXAS ARMY" marked on the barrel, and revolver "B-22" has tiger stripe maple bird's head grips, blade front sight, notch rear sight, and "GROVER'S TEXAS BORDER" marked on the barrel. Included is a factory letter stating that all three of these revolvers were manufactured as a set by Bill Grover and lists the specifications of each revolver by serial number. The letter also states that these three guns were the only set of .22 LR revolvers made by Grover. Also included is a Bianchi Large SA leather holster.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue finish, plum hue on the frame, cylinder, and gripstraps, and a small mark on the toe of the left grip panel. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very fine.
