Elmer McCurdy Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Thanks for the offer, Evil Dogooder, but I need two to compete. if yours is tuned, I can see if someone comes up with another one. I’ll keep you in mind. The Ruger Bisley is what I really want, but I ain’t holding my breath for new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightened the trigger pull . 4 5/8 barrels 357mag checkered grips. $1100 for the pair +shipping to your ffl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmer McCurdy Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Sounds good. I’m not new to guns or buying them, but I am new to private sales long distance. Tried to buy some Evil Roy’s from Robin Gold but can’t seem to get the logistics together. My FFL says the guns have to come from another FFL but Robyn can’t get one to ship her pieces to him. have you done this before and know how to get’er done?

Jack Spade Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Find another FFL that will accept guns from an individual. FFL to FFL shouldn't be a problem either, just some either won't do it because of the hassle and they don't make much on the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 PM me if interested My LGS has a pair of Taylor's Smoke Wagons with the 1860 grips (the larger ones) One is factory slicked up and the other is not slicked up. I think you can get both for about $1300.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Harry, SASS #24924 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Elmer, when I decided on my 5th and final set of main match guns, I went to Great Western Piettas. I've got to cut back on shooting now due to age and ill health. I have a pair of GW IIs in stainless, 5 1/2" 38/357s. The action job was by Nate Kiowa Jones. They have Rosewood Gunfighter Grips from Eagle Grip and I have the original poly ivory. I have trouble posting pictures on the Internet, but if you PM me, I'll send whatever you want for pis.

Elmer McCurdy Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Everyone who has responded to my need for handguns; thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Professor Lefty Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It's my turn to be the Fine New Guy who's looking for pistols in the 38/357. My question is as a new cowboy action shooter will gun quality make a huge difference when starting out? When I was a bowler I used house balls until I hit a decent average and had good habits then went for the fancy custom ball. Should I start out with store-bought Piettas with stiff hammers and triggers to build up strength and dexterity and then move to a race-slicked set of vaqueros? Right now I'm practicing with Heritage Arms 22s to get better at draw to sight picture and hammer pulling without yanking the front sight into the next county. With the 22s, an 1894 Marlin, a single barrel H&R 12 ga I'm measuring my times poking holes in 12 pizza boxes in the minutes. It's tough trying to break 4 decades of hunting target practice. Are any of the previously offered sets still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember that the Piettas and Ubertis can be slicked up beautifully too. See what fits your hand best by trying different grips and styles.
