Yea, verily, brothers! I think we get way too bent out of shape at times over "mine is bigger, better, more authentic than yours ..", etc. The main thing is that we are out there playing with our toys as we did when we were kids, and the 'bad guys' still aren't shooting back!
If money was no object, a lot of us would be shooting originals or restored originals. In a perfect world, we'd arrive at shoots on horseback and buckboards and not in air conditioned motor homes and trailers pulled by Dodge Ram 3500 diesel trucks.
Holsters would be unlined and loads would be to factory spec.
A late friend of mine shot rebuilt '73 Winchesters and Colts exclusively, relining barrels, fitting new parts, whatever it took. He was shooting Open Top conversions long before they became commercially available as they are now.
We've never had it so good, with the attention of makers catering to our every whim and falling over themselves to offer what the market wants - 100% historically correct or not.
