Off the trail, still west of the river from old Delano. Sometimes in the middle of a cloud of cigar smoke.

As a lifetime Jeep owner and a Toyota owner I can say with 100% confidence that the money spent on Toyota will be money much better spent than the same money spent on a Jeep.
And I really like the Jeep Gladiator.
In the Sci-Fi ish western Jonah Hex, he had a small part as an Old West weapons sommelier very similar to the John Wick scene at the weapons sommelier. (Lance was hotel concierge in same movie who also was quite good with weapons).
Twas neat to see Lance in Jonah Hex.
I've had excellent experiences through gunbroker but for what it's worth all pre-pandemic if that means anything. If it means anything I avoided stupid high pricing.
But like ebay I always check the seller's reputation first.
Nice! The Kirst Conversion on his webpage does intrigue me for the BP version... Course, I'd need the ejector rod assembly as well.
Could be a fun project.
Do either or has either Pietta or Uberti made 45 Colt 5.5" 1858 NMA cartridge conversions in stainless?
I see 45 Colt stainless cap gun 1858 5.5s available, but nowhere have I found the factory stainless "sheriff" conversions.
Thanks.
Saw this pic online with no information. Looks like a fast draw rig which I don't need but I love the look. Anyone know who might have made this? I've checked the usual cowboy leather sites but have not found this. Thanks for any help.
AA hull, plasic wad, 4.3 Lee dipper full of APP or BP, 1 or 1 1/8 oz 7 shot, 209 primer loaded on a cheap but reliable Lee Load All. Works fine.
Good luck!
Your fireball pic looks great!
