Congratulations, Dutch and Lucinda!

A few years ago, I handled a pair of Colt Bisley clones at Cimarron Firearms in Fredericksburg, TX. I have large hands, and they turned out to be too large for the Bisley grip. There was almost zero clearance between my knuckles and the rear of the trigger guard. The Bisley grips on OM Vaqueros, which closely resemble Keith No. 5 grips, fit me perfectly.

I believe yaque, pronounced "yakeh" would be the word in the South Texas variant of Mexican, often referred to as Tex-Mex or Spanglish.

Many thanks, one and all, for your responses!

Do any of y’all who shoot 1873 long guns in 38-40 or 44-40 do over-the-top reloads? If so, any words of wisdom you’re willing to share will be much appreciated. Thanks.
