Here's a 1915 Colt Army Special that I turned into a Fitz Special today. It started life as a $170 parts gun with a cracked forcing cone. I replaced the barrel with a snub barrel, had my gunsmith put a sight on it and fix the mechanical issues, then today I hacked it up. I've got a little over $300 into it including what I paid for it originally. Nice little blaster for not a lot of money.
Makes me want to say 'Myyahh, you coppers will never take me alive see?"
Here it is before the mods:

Nice job. Looks like a good pocket gun. You'll have to let us know how well it functions.
Very well done, especially on rounding the butt and grips.
That's one compact handful of BOOM!

I agree with what everyone else has said about the Fitz Special. Let us know how it shoots.

An overall excellent job, but it breaks my heart to see an almost 100 year old pair of grips ruined...
