The Deluxe has hand rubbed finish; better checkering (6 hours to checker instead of 1 1/2 hours); the frame is sculpted differently; and better engraving. Here is a NEWS FLASH. Butch has just raised the price on the Deluxe today because he has added articulated trigger and interlocking sears. For those who don't know, an articulated trigger is a hinged front trigger which is comfortably pushed forward by your trigger finger so that your trigger finger does not get thumped if you are not holding onto the gun sturdily enough. Interlocking sears make it impossible to fire both barrels at once. These features are normally only found on very expensive guns.
