Congrats TJD! a True cowboy gentleman.

I'm far too lazy to cart extra irons to matches. I have a brace of 38s and a brace of 45s. So if I had both with me, I'd have backups unless I was shooting Classic Cowboy that day. For SG, I have 3, only one that would work for CC.

you'll have to do without me this time. Life, and family health get in the way once again. Give Beans a hug for me, and ta heck if Cornbread don't like it!

Well, last year a bought a pair of Ruger New Vaqueros from Long Hunter, slicked up with super blackhawk hammers on them. That should tell you what I think. I shoot CC, GF and age based with them depending how I feel and how my old arther itus lets me. Still have my 38s, but once you go to those big boolits, it's hard to go back. Enjoy whatever you decide on....and can find. Grizz

It would seem proper to credit the artist.

A true work of art and picture of fine craftsmanship. Congrats to Colorado Jackson.

Via con dios. I never had the pleasure, but I offer my condolences on your loss.

No, I don't know anything about that pistol.

If anyone finds a 1911 left handed carry holster, keep me in mind

What Jefro says is right as rain. Best take a sturdy leather belt that you don't need to hold your pants up that you can hang holsters off though, many folks carry an extra rig as a loaner, but the belts don't always fit....

Participants won't be carrying loaded guns, I'd bet dollars to donuts no club will allow a spectator to do so.

Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island NE has a campground for those using the range. Partial hookups.

Midway, Brownells, Ruger, etc but they can be hard to find. Rumor has it that they only make them once a year, and when they are gone, they are gone until the next run. Some of the cowboy smiths also lay in a stock, so might try them as well. Normally a drop in job, I've done 3 sets that were, but have also heard of some that needed a little fitting. I like mine, well worth the effort. If you're not savvy to taking down a RNV that far, there are vids published by ruger on single action disassembly and re-assembly that are helpful. Best of luck.

For annual and above, sure hold to the rules. For a monthly for a club that is struggling to get enough WB shooters to make it worth while to even hold the match, I think allowances make sense to help get the interest in WB going. You probably don't want to hear about one club I shoot at that has a 'Wild Bunch' monthly match that features a PCC category, allows non standard guns to some extent, and even allows cowboys to come shoot cowboy guns for the match.
