  1. I have several Glocks, all gen 5s. After shooting all gens over the decades I settled on the gen 5 with its changes. Great shooter, zero maintenance issues with 10s of thousands of rounds fired. No, not an attractive gun but it ain't supposed to be. Colt covers that. 😀

     

    Don't need another but I sure wouldn't turn down a few free ones. 

     

    I've tried some of the other Glock wannabe polymer guns and they just don't quite cut it for me. 

     

    I could probably be talked into a gen 5 model 20 however. I can see a practicality with that one although a Smith 1006 would get my $ quicker.

    I agree 100%, I think Pete is doing an awesome job!

    Same here. 

     

    Excellent speech. One that needed saying and more importantly one that needed to be heard. An email would not have the same effect. Not even close. I have no doubt there are a number of career hand-wringing woke types wearing the uniform who are currently confused as to the military's role. Pete ain't messing around and nor should he. It's sad this speech had to be given in the first place. 

     

    I listened to the speech and I absolutely laud and commend the changes. All of them are for the right reasons.

  3. Very sad. I'm sorry to hear this. He looked like a youngster too. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends. Never had the opportunity to shoot with him or meet him. But he sure looks like my kinda guy. Everyone's loss.

    +1 for Doc's Old West, I am very happy with mine! I ordered shotguns in a worn-out look. They also made the cuffs I wear:

    Phil, Hell of a GREAT look there! You're nailing it!

  5. Do you want chaps for a specific time period?

     

    Figger batwings for mid 1890s and beyond. Pair them with Bisleys and an 1892 and yore set. (Just not for CC with that 1892.)

     

    I have shotguns and just got batwings (Doc's Old West... and they are GORGEOUS! Doc does EXCELLENT work). I got the batwings NOT because of movement ability but due to temperature issues in hot weather. I can attest that my heavy leather shotguns are warm in cold weather. I make them work in summer, but I wanted something a bit breezier and batwings fit that bill. 

     

    Good luck and happy shopping. 

     

    Doc's will probably be at Land Run.

  6. Major Art Tillery aka Travis Cady left this world on January 13, 2025 at the age of 44. He was not only Classic Cowboy through and through but cowboy in life. Some of Major's SASS accomplishments were Classic Cowboy of the year in 2018, member of the Magnificent 7, Territorial Governor, Regulator, and founder of the Classic Cowboy showdown. Major Art Tillery was the kind of friend that makes everything in your own life better; the matches more exciting, the road trips smoother, the jokes funnier, planning the next adventure more exciting. His dedication to what he loved and whom he loved was second to none. Major could run a Henry 1860 better than anyone I have seen and that takes dedication. He loved the Henry 1860 and had made that his main match choice. Major was very proud of this.

     

    Honest, trustworthy, humble, hard working, principled, caring and selfless are all accurate descriptions of him in addition to him being a fun and fierce competitor in cowboy action. Knowing him and being able to share time and life with him was indeed priceless. He was a friend to all. He was loved by many and his passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who called him family and friend. Rest in Peace, brother. Until we get to ride together again...

    I use one shooting duelist for classic cowboy(BEST CATEGORY EVER). I shoot 7 1/2 Rugers and that cross draw really helps me to draw my weak hand pistol. Everyone tells me to try double duelist, but I just plain ole like the cross draw! That and my left hand is stupid and does not know what it needs to do.. :)

     

    You need to quit babyin' your left paw and git yourself shootin double duelist, little brother. You'll love it AND look cool doing it. :D

  8. If the email or PM you get reads like you're talking to a customer service rep from another country located in a very crowded part of the world it is probably a scam. Broken English, writing that sounds non-native English speaking, incorrect syntax, incorrectly conjugated verbs, or "stiffness" to the writing... all indicators of a scam. I've received a few from this site and others over the years that all have that same, uh, quality.
