Ruger new model Vaqueros. OP, have you attended any shoots yet? Buy NOTHING, until you have attended a few shoots.

I find it humorous that the company selling that latch on Amazon is called “Vintage Technologies”.

Couple days late

Who remembers Zzyzx? We met many years ago when he would drive from California to Pennsylvania annually to visit his son. He searched out the nearest cowboy club, which fortunately was ours, and joined us during his stay. I remember asking him how long he would be staying and his reply was something like "It didn't take me a week to get here to turn around and go home in only a week or two." We were pretty much guaranteed to having him with us for two monthly matches each summer. He was likely in his 80s then and shot full-bore black powder and, claimed that he added a grain each year in honor of another birthday. Needless to say, we could easily see, hear, and smell whatever bay he was shooting in. I just loved him! His son reached out to me last night to let us know that Zzyzx had passed earlier this year at nearly 96 years old. He made sure to tell me that our club had always been one of his favorites. As it turns out he has EVERYTHING cowboy that belonged to his father and has asked permission to come to our match/es to sell it. I'll be first in line to get something in remembrance of one of the sweetest, most memorable cowboys I've met in my 24 years of CAS. RIP Zzyzx aka Harry Campbell

Please - go to some matches and try different guns. Rugers are tough and good guns but they aren’t right for everyone. Lots of folks like the feel and balance of a Colt or Colt clone. Make the choice yourself. No one but you can decide the best fit for yourself. Just my $.02 worth.

Yall been dealing with NIAA every time yall talk to Widder, so I don't see why AI is much differnt

Another thing that could be easily overlooked is the sights. Highly recommend going with fixed sights. Adjustable sights limit the categories that you can shoot in. BS

I've been using electric garage door openers for 40 plus years; my only disabling failures have been due to a lightning strike and a broken spring; pretty darn good reliability, as moving parts go. You do not need to carry a key; just install a touch pad on the overhead door frame. I'm a Luddite too; but some electro-mechanical devices are just too useful to ignore; even the Amish use power tools. LL

Ya know - a couple of my companies are exploring A.I. for social media creation and automated responses. I initially skimmed the post the first time, but reading this post again - it reads almost EXACTLY like an Artificial Intelligence created ChatGPT style posting. And if you read it ALOUD - there is no doubt it is a generated post. Im having my doubts that our "friend" with a whole 5 posts actually exists.

And updated proof that indeed all four feet can be off the ground....

I had a woman I worked with convinced that she could buy a trunk monkey from the Suburban Auto Group. I convinced her to call them. She did. She was not as amused as the lady that answered the phone was. I got a lot of dirty looks for a few days. Probably because every time she glared at me I burst into laughter. She was and maybe still is a brunette.

I recommend going to a match and asking about reloading. Someone, if not many, will step forward to mentor you. I have offered at our club to teach anyone how to cast bullets from .38/.357 to .458 for the .45-70. The match director has offered to teach anyone to reload. I would do the same.

I'm forced to order a beer and a shot of bourbon now. The Texas brother swapped over to Catholic.

Man, there are a bunch of great folks from Tennessee. Hook up with some of them and if you can make the Tennessee State Championship you will be overwhelmed by that crew. Especially if you could make the Swap Meet there, you could definitely get to handle a bunch of guns of all flavors.

It's happened again! Despite the Security Notice we posted, despite posting it here. Your e-mail addresses are hidden from the outside world by default. But, many have added their email addresses again under "contact methods" or somewhere else in your public profile. If you have done that, scammers can reach out, pretending to be the seller and an unwary buyer sends the money to the scammer by mistake. Deal through PMs or directly via phone, unless you are very sure of the seller's email address. Never pay for guns via Paypal Friends & Family, or any other venue that does not support firearm transactions!!

This is what I heard from him…

A local sporting goods store may only have ammo loaded with 158-grain lead bullets. These will do but will have excessive recoil. You could order ammo online from Cowboy Choice Ammunition, Bullets by Scarlet or Bang and Clang. They load ammo specifically for the CAS market. There are many casters who sell 125 grain bullets suitable for CAS. If that is all you need ask us and we can give you the names of at least a dozen casters who can sell you cast lead bullets in the weight and profile you want. You won't see much shotgun ammo loaded with #7 shot. However, #7 1/2 and #8 are very common. If you can tolerate the recoil, Wal*Mart 100-round bulk packs are not too expensive. One couple I shoot with shoots these. I only use them for busting clays. Fiocchi makes 7/8 oz, 12-gauge Extra Low Recoil shells you can order online. These are a possibility if you can't obtain Winchester AA low noise, low recoil shells. You can load equivalent shells for about half the cost of these with the right equipment.

If you haven't already, take some time and go to a match. Talk with the people there. If you smile nice they may let you get the feel of their guns. What caliber, stainless or blue, barrel length? Plow handle or Bisley grips? What category are you thinking about? Some categories are more caliber specific. Good luck in your search. BS

Ruger vaqueros are very popular. Can be tuned and built solid.

I'm sure he would beat me pretty easily if he would learn how to properly hold a revolver.

I had a Chevy HHR (GM version of a PT Cruiser) but mine was a panel van. Meaning no windows in the rear doors or sides behind the doors. No rear seats either. This was (to me) the nearly perfect CAS transport vehicle. Big flat surfaces for gun cart and equipment and very hard to see anything from the outside - so I felt much more comfortable parking it for lunch or WalMart after a match. I sold it to a Mexican friend of mine who decided to take it to Mexico as a gift for someone who owned a little store. He drove it down and dropped it off at a little body shop so they could paint it and letter it for the business. Apparently when they began pulling the interior and plastic cargo panels - they found something like 3 loaded shotgun shells, a dozen live 38 specials (and a few random 9mm rounds as well) plus more than 20 empty 38 casings. My friend called me and asked if I knew all this was in the car - I responded "no" but not really surprised. Shotgun shells fall out of belts, brass bags dump over, plastic ammo boxes pop open. And in a car used for nothing else than gun range visits - who bothers to dig too far into the plastic bits when something gets dropped? He was very lucky he did not get caught.

Thank you! Thank you very much.

You're bad! I like it!

You can’t go wrong with Cimarron Uberti Evil Roys. They can still be found.

Thanks for the suggestion? Now I know who my true friends are. Lol TM

Probably your suggestion about double action revolvers which aren’t allowed in SASS (Single Action Shooting Society)

Oh my God, I was wrong. I recently bought a Glock 17 and that's why all my thoughts are now focused on it, which is probably why I thought that EL LOBO TEJANO meant ordinary pistols

My feeling would be to go a little more based on the pic. I crimp mine so I can't see/feel the end of the case. Glad that was the issue. It's always nice to have an easy and inexpensive fix!

It's an honor to be among Heros like these

I know this post is 'stealing' the thread, but I gotta share this with the Wire Pards. For about 4 or 5 years now, TW and I will get together to sell a gun or swap a gun, etc..... and in the process, we usually meet somewhere we can have a good meal. Now, for all these times we've met, TW would always order 3 beers. Really. And A couple years back, I ask him.....'WHY do you always order 3 beers'? TW told me that when his 2 brothers moved out west (Texas and Montana), they agreed to have a beer for each other when they were able. The 2 extra beers were to honor his brothers..... and they in turn did the same when they were somewhere to get a drink. Anyhow, last week, TW and I met in Murfreesboro cause I was buying a nice varmint scope from him. At the restaurant, TW only orders 2 beers. Naturally, in my best somber voice, I expressed my condolences on what appeared to be that one of his brothers had passed away. TW says: Oh No! its nothing like that. You see, my wife made me join a Baptist Church and now I can't have one for myself". Another true story..... cause you just can't make this stuff up! ..........Widder
