Los Cuernos del Diablo

[Pancho Peacemaker]

I've been in the process of writing up a Mexican bounty hunter persona for NCOWS matches.  I've got a lot of good detail written up about a character with a shady past who started out working the agave fields in Jalisco.  I figured such a character needs some mean looking pistolas at his hip.

I came up with a pair of uberti Schofield hideout models (3.5" barrels) and I found some Ajax black pearl grips for them. 

We'll call this brace of guns "Los Cuernos del Diablo"

I'll post a few pics when I find my camera.

I thought you portray a Californio.  One that doesn't habla Espagnol ?

P.S;  I get stuck after Dos Cervecas Por Favor!  And I am from British California just a wee skip North of you.

I don't have any excuse ... other than it is not a word that I wold use ... I had to Wikipedia it and translate the Wikipedia to learn that it meant horn.

But I have been stationed in Spain, was born in San Antonio, and live in a state where Mexican is becoming the primary language in many places ... but unless Cuernas directly translated as what us Anglos call 'horny' (and I seriously doubt that), I wouldn't have much use to use it in normal conversation ...

Hola Pancho,

Those shooters sure look diabolical. Nice photo, too!

When I'm traveling under cover, I often take on a Mexican persona - that scourge of the border, "Pancho Vanilla". For a blood thirsty bandito, he is rather plain.

1870 "Slim Jim" model.  Works really well with the top break revolvers.

Pancho;  I'd like those pistolitos muy better if the grips were ivory.  Especialles, if they had the Mexican eagle on them.  I know they are available but I don't have a link and this is the best I can do;

Maybe here?  http://www.buffalobrothers.net/grips/schofield_grips.htm

Sorry I can't get the link to work.

Or this;  http://www.eaglegrips.com/guns/Ultra-Ivory-Schofield-grips.html

Can't find the mexican eagle yet.  Better still, get the ivory grips and have the Devil carved on them!
