Dave,
From the amount of replies I have had from Buscadero rigged Schofields, I would say that you are in the majority ...
*S*
But I already have a custom built rig that is a traditonal high-riding (i.e. 19th century) rig. First I had to turn them around because of the double but forward rig. Drawing them double crossdraw was fine, but using them double strong side is not.
I just measured: I am approximately 12 inches from waist to armpit. The grips are at my waist level, and the gun is 13 3/4 inches long, from the bottom of the grip to the tip of the barrel. So I do the math and think, hey, a dropped Buscadero style that would put the grips two to three inches below my waist (without lowering my gunbelt so low that I have to worry about it sliding off my butt) might just be tht thing.
So, Dave, I am open to any suggestions. As I said, I love the guns, don't want to change them. I just want to avoid hitting my armpits or having to hyperextend my shoulders backwards to clear the barrels from the holsters.
I know I am not alone in this problem by the 59 visitations to my thread ....
So any help would be appreciated; thanks for the thoughtful and kind reply !
