All My Children

[Dusty Morningwood]

A while back, I was looking for input about what post-1873 revolvers to get to go with the 73 rifle in .44-40.  Got lots of good advice and did some research.  I finally decided on a pair of Great Western II Californians w/5.5 barrels also in .44-40.  Got them delivered the other day all slicked up.  So here they are with the rest of my babies (the pistols, at least).  They are shown on my $10 (+$5 S&H) ebay fringed leather jacket along with the .44 Open Tops and the 2nd Gen. Navies.  So with the 1860, 1866 and 1873 rifles I now can shoot Frontiersman, Frontier Cartridge and Classic Cowboy all with different guns!  Of course my trusty SXS hammer gun goes with all three.

Good guns Dusty. Good variety.

Like you I shoot my s x s only.

A '97 is justtt a tad to 870'isk for my idea of 'frontier'...though they are faster....

Thanks Marshall.  I really agonized over this.  The 75 Remmies are just so dang neat (and Grapeshot has a set now for sale with lots of stuff at a good price), but my hands just do not fit them right.  So I decidd that I would remain a "Colt" man.
