Way back in 2005 I bought a New model Vaquero when they were first introduced. Today I stopped by a gun shop on the way to see a client and lookie what I found!

I bought a double Huckleberry rig from WWW for a pair of 5.5 inch Colt clones in caliber 38-40.  Good price.  Good gun leather.   I adjusted the harness to hold the guns very low, near my hips.  I often refer to it as my "Hickok rig".    8)

There are a lot of very nice leather rigs on this forum, some are downright beautiful and pretty expensive. I feel for the money WWW is very good and they pretty much want to make sure ya get what ya want. WM

Just a bit of an update..........

I went with WWW for my leater rig......Amazing fast shipping and the holsters and belt are beautiful





I've since bought shotgun slides, belt and some clothing. Can't speak highly enough about the great service and quick shipping.

Nice - the only way I can see to improve on that is to start storing the guns in my safe, will put another peg on the wall to hang the leather if you like.

Seriously NICE!!!

I bought a couple of spring tunup kits from Brownells with reduced trigger spring, 19 pound hammer spring and stronger cylinder pin spring.

Took the two revolvers apart and stoned everything to chean up any rough edges (BTW, there were very few. The internal parts on both of these Rugers were beautiful. Nothing like the parts in my Uberti revolvers. They required a dremel tool, files and stones)

Put everything back together and I'm here to tell you the improvement is amazing. Everything feels like it is on ball bearings!

Now I just need lots of practice!
