Curious as to how many?

I bought my first pair of USFA guns and then almost immediately went back with a nice 3rd gen 44/40- 44 Special with Eagle one piece carved ivory and traded for two more.  Then went through the safe and came up with enough money for 3 more, a total of 7,  All Premium models or better in various calibers, barrel lengths and styles.

Then I got sick, scared the guns would get sold off with me not around.  So I sold all of them asap.  Regretted it two years later, as my health came back and wanted to shoot.  I started buying them again, usually at double the original prices.

Now I own more than I started with.  OK, I admit it, there was a mild panic to get the guns I wanted.  Many ended up being  Rodeos with so few guns available in the secondary market.  Rodeo's which prior I would never have bought because of the cosmetics.  Now I am happy to have them.  And with a little elbow grease, very pleased at how they look with Gene's @ Gunner, one piece elephant ivory.  Even more pleased with how well they shoot. 



You?  200+ members here.  Wondered how many USFA guns we actually account for now?

Very nice looking Rodeos. The only Rodeo I have is a Rodeo II 45 Colt in 5 1/2" and a Storekeeper 45 Colt 3 1/2" in the Rodeo II finish. I don't have any of the black guns but hope to one day.
A man's true measure is found not in what he says but in what he does.
