Thank you for the message. I have been trying to get on the SASS Wire Forum as I saw a pair posted there for sale. Unfortunately, I have had no luck getting any kind of response. I never get the e-mail to confirm my e-mail and have sent multiple message with no responses received.
Have had the same lack of response for over a week.
Montados are RARE. Hardly ever set one for sale.
Vaqueros in .45C show more often, most are they 4 5/8" barrel. Occasionally, a Sheriff model will appear, 3 1/2" barrel. Most will be with birdhead grip, though.
A year ago, Vaqueros with 4 5/8" barrel were $450-$500. Now, they are double that.
Like mentioned earlier, forget the customization. Get a basic gun or pair of guns. Practice, practice, practice and have fun.
IF she becomes a serious competitor and skill level will benefit from "slick" custom work; she will have had time to save $$$$ and knowledge to decide what is needed.
First concern is, she had purchased a horse; what does the horse think of her plans.
I shoot Cowboy Action. I have 6 horses and ride regularly. I have fired a shot from horseback, 1 TIME.
The horse is more important than what gun she is shooting.
Kenda Lenseigne is a Mounted comp. shooter and has a deal with Uberti for her preferred setup. They are El Patron based (I believe) with the lowered, wide hammer spur and it has 4 large cuts across the spur that really grab hold of your thumb! I liked it so much my Dragoons got those ( but only 3 cuts)!!!
