I carry a 2.5" Model 19 in nearly all circumstances. A Simply Rugged Pancake with the little straps for carrying it inside the waistband is my holster of choice. Sometimes if it's really cold (and therefore wearing a big jacket) I'll pack an N frame but not too often or for too long.

That was a great read, thank you.

My Model 58 with the service stocks fits that description.
It also feels oh-so right in a Simply Rugged pancake holster riding on my hip.

Super Cool!!!
The first sixgun I ever fired was an original Rogers and Spencer that my grandfather received as a high school graduation present from his eldest brother. Brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing,

It looks great! I'm going to get a couple as gifts and one for myself.

agree that the fun is in the build, not the buy. For some good ideas and plans, go to http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop/index.html I love Roy and you can see lots of shows from here. Then there's Youtube.... Gobbler +1 There's something really nice about working on a bench you made for your needs....

Wow! What a neat project. Thanks for taking the time to share that.

Super cool find! They are great molds, I have a couple in Keith designs. Like Sixgun, I've never seen that particular mold before but it's nice that you have a hollowpoint cavity and a solid cavity. Looks like you need to fire up the lead pot, eh?

My grandfather used to have one of those mounted on his bench. Super cool find! You got to love old reloading tools.

I tend to get about 15 reloadings out of my 45 Colt brass but I run them a bit hotter than you do and am a fan of a very heavy crimp. As for 45 ACP, I've got about 10 reloadings on my pile of brass and haven't lost any yet, nor do I expect to anytime soon. (I only got a sixgun with a 45ACP cylinder ...

I shoot the old Gould bullet a lot and it is my favorite for deer sized game. From a Marlin 1895, 84 Trapdoor, and a rolling block converted from 11.7 Dane that bullet consistently delivers minute of angle accuracy (using tang sights, that Buffington rear sight on the trapdoor requires better eyes t...

I dream of getting to go through a room like that. Nice grabs!

Great looking bunch of guns!

Hightime, I'm an archaeologist and my time up there was spent doing an archaeological survey of prehistoric mining sites. If there was something interesting that was historic and along the way I'd include it but that was secondary to the objective. Also, I can't believe I forgot to mention the fishi...

Hey gents. I just got back from 6 weeks of work up on Isle Royale. For those who have been, you know how amazing of a place it is. For those who haven't, go! I can't believe I've lived my life in the Keweenaw and never been before now. Anybody who is interested in the outdoors, hiking, or history wi...

Up here the 22 Mag is quite popular for poachers. That includes everything up to treed black bears with careful headshots (on the reservation this is a rather popular practice). I've never had much use for it as I have 22 lr's and a 218 Bee. Everybody I know who uses it likes it but has issue with t...

You are describing my dream gun. In the carbine version. If u do it, please keep us updated. Thanks.

Joe, If you can stand the cold the Upper Peninsula is about as good as it gets. Lots of state land around, no laws about plinking that I am aware of, the folks are friendly, and there is a nice variety of game. I can't even begin to imagine the look on somebody's face up here if you told them it was...

Wow! Great rifle and even better photography

Eric

This is one of those things that just annoys the bejeezus out of me. I was also kinda ticked off when IMR powders started coming in the Hodgdon bottles since I had just built a new reloading bench with a bunch of storage space sized for the old metal cans. Frustrating.

Eric

Excellent, thanks for the opinions gentlemen. I'm going to do it.

Eric

I'm looking at getting one of these for the lady as she has started getting interested in shooting but has quite small hands. She loves my Single-Six and this might be good way for her move up. Anybody handled/shot one of these? I saw the gunblast review which is what interested me in the first plac...

Great actor and has made a bunch of great films that I love like Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven but my favorite is Bronco Billy.

I have a 45 Flattop and love it, really don't think you could go wrong with one chambered for the Special.

The gentleman that lives a couple of miles through the woods from me got a "package rifle" branded as Stevens (made by Savage) and it had a bad crown. He sent it back and they replaced the rifle and gave him an upgrade on the scope. Outstanding service in my opinion, if I'm ever in the mar...

Wow, might not be a show piece but it looks like it'll be at home in the field. Way to bring one back from the brink.

Far and away the coolest thing I've seen/heard in a while.

Eric

It changes from time to time but currently it would be a 20" Model 99 in 25-35. Love the older 99's, especially the saddle guns and 25-35 is my favorite cartridge for bumming in the woods.

I haven't been around here very long but your posts are always to the point and informative. I hope things shape up for you in the very near future and you can get back to having some fun!

"Taurus®, the world's foremost manufacturer of firearms "

Really?

Yeah, that seems to be a rather bold claim to me as well.

Eric

Wow, great read! Thank you so much for making it available.

I've never had much luck with the small autos. My dad has an LCP and loves it but for me the only way to go is a sixgun. I like my 2.5" Model 19 as it's quite easy to shoot yet reasonably concealable but occasionally the 642 gets slipped into my pocket.

Eric

I once visited the Dixie Gun Works store/car museum and that is number one. Other than that, Indian Country Sports in L'anse.

Eric

P.S.
I might change my number one if I got to go to the Shiloh store.

yooper2

Super cool! Great find, a real classy way to hit the field.

Eric

Well, that's one of least clever things I've heard in a while. With it being so warm down there I bet the pelt isn't even worth anything if they decide to put it down.

Probably my favorite musician of all time. Awful shame, a truly talented man.

Heavy and slow is the way to go for me. They work reliably all the time. With the needle-guns shooting at high velocity you are counting on bullet construction for effectiveness on game. With a heavy slow bullet it just plugs right along. Even if you have a cast hollow point break up there is enough...

Thats what I woke up to as well. Had to stoke up the woodstove this morning. Nothing like the North!

Wow! What a gorgeous little rifle. No way that would have evaded coming home with me.

Astounding! I'm with Joe though, I'd have to shoot 'em at least once.

Wow guys, that's some awful nice iron/leather. I really like the basketweave stamping; I usually associate it with modern thumb-breaks but it looks awful classy on a Threepersons :) . Sixgun: I got it from a shop that had ordered it for a customer who never came to pick it up so I got to slug it bef...

I bought one of the new Ruger Flattops a couple of months ago and have been having a ball playing around with it. Until recently I didn't have any leather that fit it so I ordered Threepersons style holster from Simply Rugged and couldn't be happier. It looks great and sits in just the right place o...

My folks ran a ran a hardware store when I was a kid and offered a vet discount. They were always very happy to give it to folks and I have always been under the impression that it was deserved. You guys put yourselves on the line for the rest of us who couldn't or wouldn't and have earned the perks...

For a levergun, the 39A. For anything else, a CZ 452. I've got both, love both. (CZ is convinced it is a target rifle)

Eric

Oly is right, the little ones are a bit soft but they are handy to have around for tweaking on things. I keep the set I bought behind the seat of my truck.
