Thanks for the kind words and endorsement. I appreciate it immensely. Hopefully our paths cross this fall, if not sooner, at Gunsite.

I am glad I could provide some help on this issue. I actually carry a Comp III when I pack a wheelgun. Rob Leahy's Sidewinder speed loader pouch makes it pretty easy. I'll show...
Dogcaller:
A couple of thoughts.
First, while I am always of a mind that "more" is better, realistically if you and your son each have two (2) Safariland Comp IIs or IIIs, you...
Janitor:
This may be sacrilegious in a 1911 thread, but it appears that the rifle is a Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester. Any details that you can share on that rifle? It is gorgeous and a great...

Thanks for the link to Charles Russell's book. I know of him via his artwork but never knew he did much writing. I'll read that this winter.
As to Col. Cooper's books,...

Thanks for posting the photos and educating me on your set up. I am leaning heavily towards carrying a small, fixed blade knife as opposed to the various folders I have used over...

When my son and I were at Gunsite for the Pat Roger's Memorial Revolver Roundup this past November, we naturally hit the Pro Shop. While I have most of Colonel Cooper's books, my son...

You are the man. Thanks for the reference. My son started reading "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth" over Christmas. He and I chatted about the Colonel's writings...

That's a great idea. I am doing an instructor class for some folks and told them that PPD is required reading.

I couldn't agree more. One of things I tell...
NH Shooter:
That is an interesting sheath. I have pretty much gravitated away from folding knives (my son calls them "Broke" knives). Would you please provide some details on how you draw...

If I recall correctly, Col. Jeff Cooper used the same rifle on his Rio Balsas expedition in the late 50s/early 60s into Mexico/Central American along with a 1911 in 38 Super. I'd...

We had a Savage 99 in 300 Savage in my family. We reloaded for it and as I recall, the round was very accurate and easy to load for. While I have often thought about finding a 99...

I didn't realize that our good friends at Milt Sparks can cut a Summer Special for an optically sighted Glock 21. That suggests I give them a call to see if they can do up a...

Do you still have the Detonics you mentioned in this post? Those were cool guns. I have handled one but don't recall ever shooting one. If you have any photos and could post them...
