Leavin' that as is I think. Maybe at some point the degraded nickel finish will bother me enough to reconsider.
I'd love to find an old S & W from that era for reasonable money. A Remington Smoot's would be nice too.

I really love the old west look. Next I'll start saving my pennies for an SAA revolver. Suggestions for a model in .22 or .38 caliber that won't break the bank? Gotta have that old Colt Peacemaker look to it, though.
I'll pick it up this weekend.
Take care and God bless,

I have this Uberti Cattleman in 22 LR... it is a NICE 22 cal cowboy pistol....
Seems like it is a 9 (or 10) shooter.
It's fun!

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I have a Henry Big Boy in 44 mag..... That is a real sweet shooting rifle.
To go with it..... I got myself this here Ruger Vaquero Bisley model in 44 mag to go with it..... Then I just had to have myself a set of "Hand of God" grips.
I got my grips in antique ivory instead of the traditional (Ben Wade) black grips.
Sorry..... I don't have a good pic of my HRA rifle....

BUT... I do occasionally strap on my gun belt, grab my lever gun and go shoot some steel.
It's all fun!!
I always liked to dress up like a cowboy when I was a young lad. Still could be fun.... even now.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Can't go wrong with one of the Ruger SAA's. There are 2 sizes, the Single Six that is larger (TOP) and the Bearcat that is smaller (BTM), almost palm sized. I would recommend the Single Six to start Steve. Then you have to figure out which one you want. Barrel length, finish, sights, 22 mag capability, handle style.
The Ruger's are built like tanks. You won't wear one out. Buying used is an option but the price differential may not be significant enough to bother. Both of mine are used and have no issues.

Just installed a new set of Hogue pistol grips on my Jericho 941
Love the way they fit and will give me added control.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Anyone have any experience with the Heritage SSAs?
About $300-$350 cheaper than the Ruger.
Just to put it out there, I may get to the range half a dozen times a year, so the gun won't be getting a heavy workout.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Had one a few years back and it was an ok shooter but I traded it off for some reason or another. I always liked shooting guns with more firepower than a 22.Steve Warden wrote:Anyone have any experience with the Heritage SSAs?

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
The Kentucky legislature and Governor have signed a bill authorizing concealed carry without need of any permit. It goes into effect 90 days after the legislature closes which will be of March 26. Thus it will be the end of June/beginning of July that the law goes active.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Currently there are 16 States that have no permit requirement.
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I have a lifetime permit and live in Indiana. I'm a firm believer in the right to carry! Far too many criminals running around who could care less about gun laws or any other laws for that matter. Unfortunately you can't depend on the police to protect you so people need to protect themselves.
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Thanks for posting that QS. I meant to earlier, but let it slip. I’m a big believer in concealed carry, and thankfully in KY concealed carry doesn’t just refer to firearms, but to any deadly weapon!
I’m also a big believer that the state has NO business at all licensing and taxing what is clearly designated by the constitution as a right of the people. The criminals and idiots were already concealed carrying with no license because they by definition don’t care about the law anyway! I’m awful proud of our legislature and governor for this.
We still have CCDW licenses available for the sake of reciprocity with other states, and I’ll keep my license for that reason. But this is a win for lovers of freedom imho.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I'm wondering if CCW permits will continue to be issued when no state permits are required. Or, alternatively, if a CCW permit will be readily given without the normal process of training etc.. Perhaps a member who is living in a permitless state can explain what happened concerning CCW permits.
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Indiana doesn't require any classes for gun permits. You don't even have to have a gun, kinda ironic if you ask me but I don't make the laws.
Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Yes. Permits are still going to be issued for those who want to carry out of state. Just not required in state.Quick Steel wrote:I'm wondering if CCW permits will continue to be issued when no state permits are required.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I intend to maintain my permit even though I won't need it in Kentucky after the new law goes into effect. It will still be needed when I travel out of state.

Oklahoma just passed full blown constitutional carry and it goes into effect in november. From what I've heard you will still be able to get a license. It's a good idea to have one because if you have to use your gun the license will make you look MUCH better in court. Also it's good to have for anyone who travels to a different state and still wants to carry.Quick Steel wrote:I'm wondering if CCW permits will continue to be issued when no state permits are required.

My understanding of constitutional is that any state who has it also recognizes the other states. So for example texans, oklahomans, arizonans etc. should all be able to carry constitutionally in all those states.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Sorry to interrupt the current subject, but I picked this up this morning. Henry H001T Frontier .22 S/L/LR, octagon barrel. Now the long wait for decent weather to get it out to the range.
The knife is a Case sowbelly, TB6339 CV, in Chestnut bone.
