Never said the Cowboy action folks and history weren't applicable. , and it's good to see that sport expand. Don't forget the considerable focus on .357 as a cowboy round as well.
The Judge Just put the .45lc round in reach of "everyone else", and your average "I want a gun and know nothing but bigger numbers sound good" person won't care who wrote what books... Often just what they see, and what the clerk tells them is all they have.
The shelves are packed with .357s, they have been a standard "go to" round since the .38 became "not quite enough"
You have to remember, Those of us who have enough interest to post on the net about this stuff, already have demonstrated a more fervent interest than someone who just buys a gun to plink and stick in the nightstand. .
EDit: The young men in sagging jeans cleaning the .45 out of the shelf last week were assuredly not dressed in SASS attire, The few Cowboy shooters I've met in town tend to work in the shops already.
