Do you folks have any recommendations on gun belt / holster rigs?

I compete with Triple K and they are good for the money. My next will be from rattlesnake wrangler out of Michigan. Fantastic work.

Just don't leave your pistols in them overnight. The tanning acids need time to tame down. Doesn't take long.

My Armi Jager 41 mag. 71/2 in. Very well made clone

I have found myself "casually" kicking around the idea of a SAA style handgun.

The honest reason is I've wanted a "cowboy gun" since I was about 5yo. Even after all these years, I have never picked one up. Other things came up.

Now I'm back to casually kicking the idea of one around. More a "fun piece" than anything else. It would likely get used as a range toy, a plinker, and occassional carry in a western gun belt rig.

While Colts are out there, I'm not sure I can justify the price for what is essentially a "fun gun", so I've also been looking at alternatives.

Do any of you folks in the know have thoughts / comments/ opinions on things like:

Uberti
Cimmeron
Vaquero
Others

Something closer to the original is preferred....mostly for sentimental reasons.

Like I said, just kicking it around.

I have a mystery brand SAA but its a clone of the old black powder frames. It is a fun gun, and if you want one just for the fun factor then it is more than enough. I suggest just getting the cheapest one that is a direct clone of the originals, not worth it to get a super expensive one.

Well, I was able to handle a Uberti Cattleman II this past Saturday. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for my budget, it left me wanting.

I'll continue on with what I have.

LOL. Yes, they definitely leave me wanting too. (at least one in each caliber)

A good video from Hickok45 (they're all good videos) on the difference in quality between "entry level" SAA like I have vs "high end" like some other folks here have.

 

[Creedmoor]

best of both worlds, .45 and .22 peacemaker. both shoot great. the .22 is great for easy plinking View attachment 218770

Gotta love The Scout 22, I gave my #2 son one thats had a hard life when he was little. He killed a zillion bad guys running around the farm as a little boy without a single bullet.

That was a good 5 minute video.

Got my picture taken today with a single action army playing cowboy.

FINALLY got the prints back from the drug store.

When people inquire about buying an old Colt 1 or 2 gen I always advise that they find one and try cocking the hammer. The old guns have much heavier springs than any repro or modern gun, a testament to the primers of the day.
