Lost our pup this week
We lost one of our dogs this week. :cry: Ruger and Remington (Remi) were litter mates. We got them 7.5 years ago. Both were miniature long-haired dachshunds. Ruger, the male, was a black and tan, and the girl, Remi, copper-colored. They were the only two in the litter, and inseparable. The middle of...

... to my daughter!
She turned 22 today. I have to call her ma'am now, as she outranks me. She started her career last week as an officer (O1/Ensign) nurse with the Navy at the hospital in Portsmouth, VA.

Re: Old Movies
I prefer the old movies too, I can even forgive the wrong firearms being used as the only alternative would be genuine antiques, nowadays replicas of all kinds exist so no excuses anymore. And yet, Hollywood seems to be obsessed with using brass-framed "Colt" percussion revolvers. :roll:

Re: Custom holster maker
Thanks fellas. As I said, "fantasy rig". The Walker and Dragoon series were indeed "horse pistols" (and marketed as such by Colt). The 1851 and 1860 were "belt pistols" and the 1849 was a "pocket pistol" (along with the 1862 Pocket Navy and Pocket Police). The...

Custom holster maker
Hi fellas - Do you have a custom holster maker, that doesn't charge a crazy amount, that you recommend? I'd like to have a fantasy gun belt and holster made - well, the rig worn by my nom de guerre, the Ysabel Kid, in the J.T. Edson western book series. It is a buscadero rig, like the ones used in 1...

At the risk of offending Sixgun, here is my Uberti Cattleman Sabre. A .45 Colt sixgun, and a couple years ago I scored a .45 ACP cylinder for it. Dropped it off at my gunsmith and he fitted it perfectly. It is a ton of fun and my go-to SAA carry gun. https://i.ibb.co/2dRpXmJ/052-Uberti-Cattleman-Sab...
