I have a Bedell 9 major that runs like a scalded ape. Either gunsmith though will create a great gun for you.

I have a Bedell "Shorty" in .38 Supercomp, that Dan built for me in 2004, and I like it.

I have shot several Brazos guns, and had one of his limited guns, but, sold it because I went to a 6" platform.

If the money, and wait time is no object, I'd go with the Brazos.

I've had 4 of Bobs guns and recommend them to everyone. Either way you can't go wrong. Both Smiths are great. Many shooters in New England use Bedells guns but I think that is because Bedell is much more local and his prices on open guns are bit less expensive. I've never owned a Bedell gun but have shot several of them and wouldn't hesitate with buying one. I personally like the way Bob does his reverse plug on the shorty guns better than the Bedell guns but that is MY opinion and doesn't mean anything to anyone else.

Both are good options! I own a Bedell Shorty and have shot a Brazos and would buy either if I needed another gun.

[mrwhite1]

I own two Bedells and am very please with them, but Bob's guns are great also.

It really came down to looks when I was deciding. In reality you can't go wrong from either.

IF it is for back up I'd buy the same one ( Brazos). Either one are great choices.

Seems like someone said Brazo's only built 38sc open guns.

If your wanting a 9 major you may not have Brazo's to consider.

I would check with him first and see if this is true.

Bob will build any of his configs in 9 Major under certain conditions - namely, that you have a large stock of SP2. Much as I avoid all things French, that's actually a nice powder... dense, and low pressure, and perfect for 9 Major without accelerating wear on the gun....

if that is the powder that I use sp-2...no possibility of using another brand of powder

sometimes I feel envy to see how you have the possibility to select the Powder

Not as envious as those of us who cannot get SP2.

I'd be proud of either gun.

IF I had the cash and time, I'd love to have Bob build me a gun. I had a chance to sight in one of his 9 Majors for a guy. This one had only been test fired by Bob and maybe 50 rounds through it. The slide was like butter, so good in fact, I went looking for slop and could find none. It takes a real smith to make a gun that tight and smooth right out of the box. IMHO it was the best made open I'd ever had my hands on.

Dan Bedell has built 3 guns for me and they all ran beautifully. He makes a very high quality gun for a very reasonable price. You would not be disappointed in his work. Hope this helps.

[edu jimenez]

What is your opinion of buying the gun with 2 barrel .... 1 / 9mayor + 1/38sc

regards

[diehli]

Might be difficult, if not impossible to get both to run in the same gun due to ejection/ejector differences. Might not be, though.
