    Cattleman holster

    I have the Cattleman in Cross Draw and it's my favorite carry holster (3.75 SA). W-a-y better made holster than any other holster I have including El Paso Saddlery.

    Who's shot lots of Hornady 357 Critical Defense? Experience?

    Birdshead 45ACP with Bisley hammer

    Looking at your photos I was really in awe at how slight a ring you have on that cylinder. Mine is about 5 times larger - now I understand :)

    had sbh cylinder pawl break

    My Birds Head Vaquero just had the pawl break (just under 2 yrs old). Broke off at the shaft end - MIM part. Called Ruger thinking I would have to ship it home, but CS immediately offered to mail me a new pawl. Five days later it arrived and seems to be working fine as a drop in fit. Fired...

    Re-Assembly Question.

    The hammer pin can go either way - left or right, so just be sure to place the longer screw in so it will lock the hammer pin in. Your correct on the other screws too.

    Vaquero transfer bar and transfer bar pinch

    I have a Birds Head 45ACP that I thought had the transfer bar pinch. The trigger would not reset unless the hammer was pulled back slightly. After hours of trying to tweak the trigger spring I discovered the Cylinder Rotation Stop Screw (#34) that holds the Ejector Alignment Pawl (#32) had...

    :D My new Motto. It's a beauty and as stated - If mine I would carry & shoot. If I want it, I pay what it takes to get it. Enjoy your new gun.

    Birdshead Short Barrel Ruger?

    Mine started off as a Birds Head (45 ACP). The more I looked at it the more it looked like a 'Ladies Gun' so found a Plow Grip at Brownells and now she's a lil Sheriff Model look-a-like. The plan is to either strip the blue (Old West Look) or have the grip frame hot blued. Currently, I'm...

    Cleanning cylinders

    I do not spend much time cleaning blued cylinders. However, I do not buy a stainless gun so I can have 'burn marks' on the cylinder face. Those guns get cleaned back to 'factory new' condition. If I have the time, a soak in Hoppes, otherwise a lead away rag.

    New addition to the family here to stay.

    Beautiful! I love stainless guns especially stainless with walnut grips. Sadly, the Bisley frame is not a comfortable grip for me. Enjoy the gun, bet she's a sweet shooter.

    Replacing brass Inserts w/stainless

    I have a set of Ruger rosewood grips that have the brass inserts. How easy is it to replace those with SS inserts. If do-able, any know place to obtain those SS inserts & screws?
