I've been rewarded... err, actually, I screwed up and withheld TOO much $$ from my taxes, so I got a huge return.
So, long story short, I got some $$, and am gonna buy my packing gun. Actually, it needs to be a small, compact, SA work gun - similar to the gun given away at the CSA recently.
Nothing fancy, but a 4 5/8" Ruger or SAA clone to carry, keep in my Jeep, etc. .357, .44sp/mag, .45lc, whatever. (or shorter? Maybe a Cimarron sherrif's model, or thunderer?)
Until I buy it, or find it at a show, used, cheap, etc., I need a place to chat about it w/ like minded individuals who won't tell me to skip it and go buy a glock wonder-40, etc.
Thanks!

I have found nothing to inhibit my enthusiam for the Colt SAA design. I've carried each of them, (except the 7-½) as sidearms during hunts and even actual work in LE. (This was done with special permission by the Sheriff, and under specific circumstances. This included uniformed work as a mounted officer in parades, or other public gatherings where some "head nod" to the historic aspects of "Sheriffin'" was warranted, to work in an undercover search for a escaping felon that was thought to be working on a nearby ranch. Never felt undergunned. Possibly that was a result of my years of competition in cowboy action matches, where I was confident of the guns' and my ability to carry out the assignment. (Failed, BTW, as we learned a few days later that the perp had caught a ride outta the county with an older farmer headed into to Dallas about daybreak, the morning following the shootin'. Last I recall hearing was that he was back in Mexico.)
