Great thread, however, if it doesnt have linked belts hanging off of it, Im not interested.

If you grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, and ever played “cowboys,” ........ you're damn lucky because you couldn't do it today without being un-politically correct, not to mention someone would probably call the cops on you for brandishing a gun.

Excellent article. I own a cap-and-ball .44 Navy Colt replica. Single-action is, well, cool. It also helps that my pistol will blow just about anything to flinders.

Cowboys, we used to play war, mostly "shot" Japanese. Today, a gun, children better not say that word.

I've a couple of .36s, and I enjoy them too. So much that I bot a Ruger .22 SAA for plinking, fun but a disappointment in the accuracy department.

I own a cap-and-ball .44 Navy Colt replica. Single-action is, well, coolBP indeed. I love my Pietta 1858 Remington NMAs. Very accurate pistols. And the R&D conversion cylinders for .45 LC cartridge are sweet as well. With the four I have and a shoulder stock, I could ride with Mosby's Rangers...as long as I had a horse to help with the load. ;>)

NEVER EVER NEVER EVER shoot a weapon off the back of a horse - unless of course you don't care about the horse AND you have an adrenalin deficit.

Thanks very much for posting...interesting article from a master in his field.
I've been enjoying and benefiting from Massad Ayoob's books since his essential 1980 work In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection
He's a true authority on firearms, not just another loud talker, and people can accept his statements with confidence.

My plinker, Single Six. Also have a .357 Blackhawk. Both are lots of fun to shoot.

Used to own a Inter Arms Virginia Dragoon 44. Based on the 1845 Colt. Stainless 8 3/8 barrel. Damn thing had tiny grips and would jump around in my hand. It also had a bad habit of jamming (yes a revolver that jammed). If the barrel was pointed up at a 45 degree angle the cartridges would not allow the cylinder to rotate. Got rid of that POS.

Looks to me like Texas Saddlery did the holster.
A much higher power created Raquel Welch.
