Title: I just like them :)
Post by: yahoody on April 11, 2017, 12:34:42 PM: So thought I'd add a picture :) 25 yard groups from 2 USFA guns...a .38 Special Rodeo on top and a 32-20 China Camp below. They built a nice gun!

I broke down in a moment of weakness and changed the .38 to a 4 3/4" 45 and then had John Adams Sr. scratch it up some and fit a pair of ivory myself. It is the top gun in this photo...paired with another scratched up Rodeo to match :)

Take a look at how straight the bottom of the front strap is by comparison. That set up is now bolted to a different gun I carry a lot.

Post by: yahoody on April 11, 2017, 10:02:43 PM: I could and I would but I would rather start a conversation with them here instead :)

Any one here actually carry a USFA for self defense?

I use that 3" gun on the horse all the time. Same gun I cut the trigger guard right down to the base screw to straighten it out some for a more comfortable grip.

Always manana :) Work in progress.

But have 2 more in hackamore. When I am not too lazy the big guy is in a two rein. 3 more yet behind them.

yes indeed. New horses put my '76 projects on the back burner. Your new .50 sure looks sweet though!
