It doesn't have the nicest trigger pull but it's good enough. It's not a designer label (though Star's factory engraved guns might qualify as that) but pretty enough for even the most formal event. And it'll still stop a bad guy.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-85905229068671567342009-10-21T20:56:05.049-04:002009-10-21T20:56:05.049-04:00If looks take priority, go with the 1860 Colt Army...If looks take priority, go with the <a href="http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/BlkPowder/CA040-60ArmyMil.htm" rel="nofollow">1860 Colt Army</a>. -- LyleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-65027180704144779342009-10-21T15:04:54.367-04:002009-10-21T15:04:54.367-04:00LawDog's criterion: "Now, look in the mir...LawDog's criterion: "Now, look in the mirror. Is your mustache over 50% grey? If so, go for pearl grips. 49% or less on the grey-meter, and you'd best stick with ivory. If you go for mother-of-pearl, have it carved or inlaid."<br /><br />{a href la la la}: http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2006/03/court-guns-and-bbq-guns.html<br /><br />Skipping any stupid "gal with a moustache" remarks, I'd use it this way: <b>As a collector and shooter,</b> you're well on your way to "greybeard" status, for which one's personal, private parts are irrelevant. You've got enough sand to wear mother-of-pearl stocks if you want to.<br /><br />Another approach: men simply do not tell women what to wear. :)<br /><br />Of course, you might be passing up a marvelous opportunity to go for a set of new stocks (*cough*)mammoth ivory(*cough*).Brian Dalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-64202248897223599992009-10-21T12:09:14.467-04:002009-10-21T12:09:14.467-04:00Seem to be having trouble leaving comments these d...Seem to be having trouble leaving comments these days. Apologise if it's a double but gonna try again; there's a place for BBQ guns aka "Open Carry Guns" in my world. The current favorite is a TR Model 22 Smith. Since the stock grips were the little "historically correct" ones and I was gettin tired of having the trigger guard smack my finger, I had Tedd at Blu Magnum make some "Clint Smith Style" grips out of birdseye maple. These show good contrast with the "almost S&W" blue on the retro gun. I wear most of my wheelguns crossdraw so they're pretty much "out there" for the world to see.<br />My other option is a 1965-vintage Model 27 5" worn in a "Skeeter" rig that John bianchi made for me.Boat Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-52169197392241888382009-10-21T09:00:09.468-04:002009-10-21T09:00:09.468-04:00Everyone should have a BBQ gun.

My problem is a proper BBQ rig.
