Mr. Reichard is a character who I have not had the pleasure to meet, but his reputation precedes him. As I've been told, he doesn't see the need for any gun that isn't a Model 29. Period. TIA.
I only know Denny through mutual friends. However, its like this: If the pope vouches for someone, you take it as fact. Jim Reinholt spoke highly of Denny, and that's good enough for me. I have also heard that he is an excellent S&W 'smith.
If you have a specific question, PM me and I can try to get an answer for you.
