You bet, Rawhide. Thanks.
Get a few comments at the cowboy matches since I've been using them.
You must be a night owl, Pretty late in Arizona .
Catch up with you next time I'm in Phoenix and maybe have a few shots with you at the Ben Avery complex or Cowtown.
Pass on my best wishes to Bob James next time you speak with him.

Sure am a night owl. I work the evening shift and got home about an hour ago. Spend about an hour on the internet before turning in.

Sure thing, next time you get over here, we'll have to have a cup together! Be glad to! :)

Those are beautiful!  Do you holster them?

Yes Jared

They are now my competition sixguns.
I'm a member of SASS and SASA (Single Action Shooting Australia)
Both sixguns are holstered and are drawn from the leather in CAS Shooting.
They're shooting guns, not collector guns.

Just curious. Can you actually special order USFA's SAA to be chambered in .357 Magnum?

Thanks Tom

They made them for me. Give USFA a call.

They sure are beautifully made sixguns. I couldn't ask for a straighter shooting pair.

Hey Duke I forgot to ask you something. Do those .357's balance nicely or are they muzzle heavy?

They're a little heavier than my Colt .45 and .44 Spl's, and balance equally as well.
They are not what I would call muzzle heavy.
They shoot exactly point of aim, and I am very happy with them.

Check out a USFA Rodeo in .38 Spl. Identical except for finish and chambering.

There are others out there with USFA .357's, including Rawhide Rio.
Give Gary at USFA a call.

I would agree with that.  ;)

I gave Gary the call awhile back. He told me otherwise. :(
