I decided a while ago to stay out of the shotshell slide and Ruger Vaquero discussion and wait until the Congress decided before commenting any more. However, someone mentioned "getting away from the modern world" and that raises a new point, for me at least.
If someone joins NCOWS to "get away" then they are doing themselves a disservice by using slides and/or RVs, because they are modern 20th century artifacts. My Pietta '51 Navy Colts are also modern, but they look just like '51 Navy Colts, they work just like '51 Navy Colts, and they are not modern 20th century artifacts, they are modern 19th century artifacts. Nothing that looked or worked like shotshell belt slides and Ruger Vaqueros existed prior to the 20th century, and that is why they should not be allowed.
I continue to call for leadership on this issue.
