New Forum "Colt SAA Clones"

Hoof Hearted · January 17, 2012, 01:01:47 PM

I feel that we are missing the "boat" by not having a forum for SAA Italian Clones. $:-\$

Other than gunsmithing questions under that forum the other revolver specfic forums actually frown about posting concerning these pistolas.....and there are probably more of these in the hands of Cowboy shooters than any other type! When "Frontier Iron" was started I had high hopes that they would be included......but nope! The USFA members don't want 'em! The COLT group would lynch us for being on there

And so on...........

So how about it Ol Marshall?

Members:

Please post on this thread like it's a poll with a yay or nay.........

I don't see why not?
I have both Colt's and Clones, or replicas.
To be truthful, I carry or shoot my Colt's in fair weather or when I know they'll stay safe.
I carry and shoot my replicas when I think they will be subject to some abuse.
The difference being value. My Colt's shoot good as do my replicas.
I'm very sure I use replicas 10x more than the Colt's.

I vote yes!

Russell40 · January 17, 2012, 07:30:29 PM

Even though I new here, I vote YES also! I have an original Colt and as mentioned above, it's not shot alot. Now as far as the replicas, I ride them hard and many times put them to bed dirty

Gassaway · January 17, 2012, 07:41:52 PM

Yes!!!!!!!

Harley Starr · January 17, 2012, 08:47:38 PM

I vote Yes! We want the new forum.

joec · January 17, 2012, 09:46:36 PM

Absolutely yes.

Pay Dirt Norvelle · January 17, 2012, 11:19:40 PM

Sounds good to me as I have a clone/reproduction.

warbucks16 · January 18, 2012, 08:28:45 AM

I say yes, good idea.

Lotsa Colt SAA clones and I shoot all but the .38s with smoky cartridges, the way they were meant to shot. See, I am already turning the new forum exclusive! Funny how so many sites that should be inclusive do become exclusive due to snobbery! My favorites have been the pre-tuned ER versions by Cimmaron but I think at least one other outfit, the Taylors SmokeWagon, is now offering an equivalent. It is an expensive proposition but I do hope to convert mine to Birdshead grip models as time goes on. The checkered versions are not only very expensive but also very hard to come by.

Russell40 · January 18, 2012, 12:40:34 PM

Slowhand Bob, check with "Oklahoma Tom", he owns and operates "3B Shooting Supplys" out of Kaufman, Texas. He normally has the Taylor SmokeWagons in stock or can get them and he is very reasonable on his prices.
He is at the Shot Show and will be available on the 23rd, but he will probably answer emails.

Im all for it, but at the same time i cant help thinking things would be a lot easier with less running around if some of the forums were consolidated. Regardless this is the best site on the web.

Camille Eonich · January 19, 2012, 12:45:44 PM

Marshal was coerced into and forced to attend the Shot Show in Las Vegas this year and is there now wishing that he was back here attending to Cas City instead of there wasting time looking at all those shiny new guns and other outdoorsy kinds of things that he has no interest in. I'm sure that when he leaves the glaring obnoxious lights of Las Vegas and gets back home he'll check in with y'all.

StrawHat · January 19, 2012, 03:31:01 PM

I vote for it. But then again, all my origianls are M1860s.

If we go with a SAA Clone forum, will there need to be a Remington clone forum also? And how about the Open Tops,

I think you can see what I am saying, too bad there are some snobs that are making the clones go to their own site.

Shotgun Franklin · January 19, 2012, 04:59:06 PM

So to keep things within reason, I could live with a Revolver Clone Forum.

Your missing out on STORM (Open Top Forum ) & SCORE ( Remington Site )

Shenandoah · January 21, 2012, 12:10:21 PM

I vote yes, too. Especially since I have a Uberti .44 spl in the mail.

I have some Colts, some Uberti's, some open tops and a Spencer (on backorder). I need another forum in which to spend more time .

I know about the STORM forum and the SCORE one also. I was commenting on the fact that in those two sites, you can talk about replicas and no one gets all wadded up about it.
