I have several Cattlemen. One, in particular, from Taylor’s, has made most every shoot I’ve been in since, I think, 2001. We shoot year round here, most time she’s taken to two a month. Has been for a long time.
Used Ed’s Red as a solvent while I was usin’ smokeless. Ballistol for the last three years shootin’ Holy Black. I don’t believe either has affected the CCH.
Holster wear has though. The top strap has hardly any color left on it. I should add I don’t carry my pistols between stages. I have holsters mounted on the guncart they live in until I’m called to the loadin’ table.
