John Gallagher

I'm sure many of you are familiar with John and his revolver work, I'm sad to say he has passed.
I am proud to say I knew John, he and I were in gunsmith school together. We even did a project together, my Ruger Single Six 44 special.
I'm sad to say I hadn't spoken with him in about 10 years...
God speed my friend!

Sorry to hear your sad news, prayers for his family and friends.

Yea Gunny....we all can't afford to lose good gun people...how old was he? ....wait, you said "you were in gunsmith school together"....young guy then about 50....

Yea Gunny...the older you get more and more names pop up....problem is, it's the wrong names.---6

John was probably in his mid thirties, so he was I'd say in his mid sixties when he passed.
I spent the evening bsing via text messages with a couple classmates.

Just looked at some of John Gallagher's work over on Single-Action.com, he sure built some beautiful and interesting revolvers...RIP sir.

I have pictures of one of his early guns that didnt care well, cylinder blew up, top strap broke, we never found all the parts- at the school test fire chamber ! The cartridge he was developing was a 348 cut down to inch and a1/2 and loaded with a .458 bullet of 300+ gr and obviously the wrong powder!
