Stumpy Joe Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 I think I am going to start with the Classic Cowboy category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Classic Cowboy rules! Braces are suspenders. Any jacket like a Mexican Vaquero style. A Gunfighter coat or a frock coat or duster would be OK. Coats have a way of getting in the way when you draw so I never wear one. I think your other questions were already answered above.

Stumpy Joe Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 What is a full length chain for the watch? What length is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Basically something that has your watch in your pocket on one end and the other end connected to either button hole or pocket on other side. No set length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 8 minutes ago, Stumpy Joe said: What is a full length chain for the watch? What length is that? About 14” from what I read, but they will have a tendency to get tangled up in things you don’t want them tangled in if they’re that long. The two I have are around 11” long.

Slightly off topic: When I first started I chose Double Duelist. I did that even though my left hand was as useless as a politician. Best advice I was given was to do every day tasks with your weak hand. The best tasks all seem to revolve around the bathroom, brush your teeth, shave (if you dare), comb your hair (if you have any), use toilet paper, etc. This tactic really does work.

While learning ccw I HAD to learn to shoot left handed (weak arm unsupported). Make yourself learn that weak hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Art Tillery Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I had a talk with my left hand and we decided it was just better if I shot a cross drawl instead. We have been on good terms since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy Joe Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 On the pocket watch question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Any pocket watch will do. Almost any chain will do. If there's a Mickey Mouse on the face, you may get ribbed a little. I like mine to run accurately, and not cost me a few hundred a year of jeweler repairs to do so. So I carry one of my (omg!) quartz and battery powered pocket watches. The cheapest one I have cost me $12 at WallyWorld a few months ago. But it works fine, and I don't have to worry about dropping it and being out a collectible. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I actually used an old stopwatch with a chain before I found an actual pocket watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mild Bill #2326 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I bought a windup watch at Walmart for under $20. It’s still giving good service after five years. I see far too many wrist watches to not be irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
