I like her style but that horse looks like it’s been near ridden to death.
Maybe give it some water and oats and let it rest a bit.
Colt has made 3 generations of SAA. I own a 2nd generation made in 1961. The so called replicas are mostly Italian like Uberti and Pieta and are not up to the quality of Colts. Then there are look alike that are internally different thus not replicas. Like Ruger Blackhawks and Vaquero. The Rugers are safer for loading 6 rounds. Colts snd replicas are not safe to carry with six rounds
I also own vaqueros. As my name suggests.
Amazing couple. Amazing shooters! Thanks for the link.
The first pic of Bob you posted looks very much like my father although Munden is 17 years younger. Same facial features, same sideburns and same build. Dad also used to favor white t-shirts like that in his off time. The likeness is quite remarkable.
The reason that was relevant to bring up is because my father had an interest in old west fast draw shooting although he never had the time to pursue it.
I own the Colt SAA in .357 that was his and was in fact the first firearm I ever saw and heard fired. I was about four or five at the time. One of a small handful of memories from my first five years. Dad also passed on his fast draw rig and another western holster to me but I’m not left-handed so they don’t do me much good.
They may have seen his DO YOU KNOW WHO IAM patch he may even know Hunter?.
Some of the Ubertis or Pietas (or both) are made with transfer bar safeties so they would be safe to carry with six rounds.
” Like Ruger Blackhawks”
I have four Blackhawks, a Super Blackhawh, a Bisley and a 1954 Single-Six. No Vaquero.
My favorite is the .357 with 6 1/2 barrel. New model purchased in 1973. Convertible but never loaded with 9mm.
.357 4 5/8 was purchased by my Dad in the 50’s.
“the first firearm I ever saw and heard fired. “
My first was a .22 boot-action single-shot rifle that my father took a few inches off each end.
The second was a 12 gauge at a deer camp. They made me ride in the back of the jeep with the kill.
I guess they knew you wouldn’t let it get away. lol
“I guess they knew you wouldn’t let it get away. lol”
I still remember sitting on thar deer and looking into those eyes wondering what would happen if it did try to get away.
I was about 35# Dripping wet.
It was a .22 short. I only needed a boot for the LR’s.
