Ever avail yourself of TK Custom's gunsmithing work?

Just curious if anyone has used TK Custom for any revolver work.

Thanks for any feedback.

I've contemplated using them to cut the cylinder on my S&W X Frame in 460 so I can shoot 45ACP's more than once. Just never got the energy to box it up, figure out how to ship a handgun, and do it. I've heard good things about them, I certainly have a LOT of their moon clips.

Thanks @kmk1012. Agreed, their moon-clips are the best. The tools to load and unload said I got from them worked well too.

I was primarily looking at their service to convert .38/.357 revolver to also fire 9㎜ Parabellum. It looks the auto cartridges would be fed via moon-clips, while still retaining the ability to load the revolver rounds the normal way. A wheelgun capable of running .38/.357/9㎜ would be neat. A little farther afield, I see they offer action jobs a well.

Anywho, was just curious. I have another revolver project (or two) that will likely take priority, so not in any rush. Thanks all.

That is the exact service I was looking into, just a bit more girth. Shooting the 460 all day can get expensive, almost as much as the 500.

I just ordered their spring kit for the K6s plus a few extra moon clips for the GP100 10mm a couple days ago. Never realized they offer action services.

I wouldn't mind getting my GP100 reamed to 10mm Magnum. Emailed to see if they'll do it.

I have a 625 in 45 colt (post lock but 1 piece barrel) machined to accept his moon clips and it works well, haven't tried auto rim. 9mm is trickier; the tapered case changes the chamber shape and also cannot use +p 9 mm. Would love to hear how a k or L frame works with the 9mm conversion.
