Came reallllllll close.Almost bought a Smokewagon. Actually, I am in a quandry as to what I want next. Over the years (and there have been some,... years that is) I have acquired one first generation, one second generation and two or three third generation Colts. In addition, I have about 15 clones of one variety or another, including one USFA-Turnbull Cowboy Classic. Gun addiction is not unlike other addictions in that one sometimes goes on binges. Recently, it has been a Ruger binge, Vaquero, New Vaquero and two Blackhawks. At this point, I don't know whether to spring for another Colt or go the clone route again. In the latter category candidates are, USFA Rodeo II, Smokewagon and EMF Great Western. Then again, Cimarron is now having some of their Model P's finished by Turnbull. And another New Vaquero stainless with shorter barrel than my 7 1/2in .45 would be nice. I'm not trying to gun-drop here. Nowhere did I say I could actually afford all this wretched excess but I am approaching the fixed income years so some of this is panic buying, I'm sure. My only consolation is that unlike some of you pardners, I don't buy them two at a time.
