    Cowboy Action legal firearms from Civil War Era

    Most any single action (replica or orginal) in .32 cal or larger is legal. Originals that were double action ( some Starr etc) are not. Several firearms that were originally DA have been replicated in single action (Starr, Lightning-style revolvers) As stated above there are several...

    The SHOTshow is for the industry only. Yes, your C&R will get you in the door.

It is a show to showcase a firm's wares...

    .50 Beowulf AR 15????

    Bogie, basically it is a handgun-sized round. Think of a .44 Magnum or .45 Colt on steroids with a rebated rim. Big Arm Hannigan, they have a dealer network they were trying to set up. You can contact them to see if there's a dealer near you. Conversely, Cabela's sells their uppers also.

    .50 Beowulf AR 15????

    I've had my .50 Beowulf for about a year now. It's fun to shoot. Throws a huge bullet (relatively speaking) and it doesn't recoil much. Would make a good heavy woods gun for really un-PC hunters! I bought mine at the BRC last year from Alexander Arms. Had quite a lengthy conversation with the...

    Stag Grips?????

    Stag is very durable. I've had Ajax stag grips on my Vaqueros that I use for CAS for a couple of years now and they're holding up very well. The main problem with stag is availiability. Since Klinton banned the import of stag several years ago, the price for true stag has gone up...

    sources for left handed holsters

    I'm left handed and have many LH holsters for many firearms, both autos an wheelguns. Many holster manufacturers make left hand holsters. They can be had in leather (Don Hume, Bianchi, Desantis, Alessi etc) balistic nylon (Uncle Mike's, Bagmaster etc) or in plastics (G-code, Fobus etc). Usually...

    Multi-Tool Opinions

    I got one of the original SOG Tools when they came out many years ago. I finally got so loose last year from usage (I carried it everyday everywhere) that I went out and started looking at the newer models out there. I ended up with the Leatherman Wave also. Have to admit I like it better than...

    Gun combination for Cowboy Action

    One other note about shotguns. Double barrels can only have extractors. No automatic ejectors are allowed per SASS rules (SASS-Single Action Shooting Society- www.sassnet.com- is the major sanctioning body in cowboy shooting). Also if you have a visible hammer pump (Win 97 etc) those are legal...

    Red Dot Sight Questions

    I've got a Trijicon ACOG Compact carry handle mounted on one upper and it's great but a rather expensive unit. I can pick up with it quicker than with any other site, including a buddy's Reflex. I've also got a red dot forward mounted on another upper. It's not as quick but still it's not too...
