Old Dog, since "Cozmo" as he's known on the Colt Forum and a couple others is from Idaho, maybe you should knock off the snarky cracks about Texans. You're making yourself look and sound the fool.

Well now, perhaps I misremembered (Idaho? Hmm...) -- haven't participated in the Colt Forum for several years, so my bad. Not sure you needed to call me out as a fool, though, Dave.
And I certainly didn't mean to offend my Texan friends (or their supporters living in other states) -- I am a huge fan of
most things Texan, and I count two Texans as my very best, and lifelong friends. I was attempting (and obviously not clearly enough) to speak to a certain attitude (which is not by any means restricted to people from Texas). We have just a bit of snobbery in play here, evident in this very thread.
The thread was started, best I can tell, by someone asking what we -- the THR membership -- would use as our entry-level "flashy" BBQ gun. Then along comes a member (whom I otherwise greatly respect, by the way) giving us "rules" for BBQ guns, which are pretty explicit as to what Texans consider "real" BBQ guns (and he kinda took a jab at the "plywood" grips on my Python), and... I objected. Not gonna apologize for my opinion, although if I offended any of our Texan members, I am sorry -- you guys are great and I'll see y'all down in Kerrville in a few months.
Back on topic, what's the current wait time for El Paso Saddlery holsters? (Since clearly I need a fancier rig once I get the engraving done on one of my plywood-stocked Colts)
