    Two new arrivals at CasaKC, a Ruger Bearcat with genuine stag grips. The nice thing about this is that with my oversized paws, I have never been able to grip a Bearcat properly. With the larger stags, it feels great! Also, wound up with a strange day of trading and buying, wound up bringing a...

    Had a good weekend at the Alabama State Championship for Cowboy action Shooting. Even with a train wreck of a day on Friday, I somehow still took third in Gunfighter Category. Wound up making a trade for an extremely clean Ruger New Vaquero in .357 Magnum.

    Correus, I would expect it to boil down to two good guns with a HUGE difference in detail quality. Much like comparing a S&W EZ and a Sig P210Target.

    Mike, I too, am a sucker for vintage revolvers. Great match up with the Colt and holster. I picked up a little vintage job too, a US Revolver Co .32S&W[made by Iver Johnson]. A sweet little gun and even found a stash of ammo for it in the "How did I wind up with this ammo?" box.
