I'm sure that some of you have yours already, but here is mine! I've been thinkin about it for years now, and finally came up with my perfect setup.
Ruger Vaquero .357 4 5/8" (right hip)
Taurus Gaucho .357 7 1/2" (left hip cross-draw)
Puma M92 .357 (sling over shoulder)
Stoeger 12GA Coach Gun Supreme (in my grubby little hands)
Well thats mine! Lets see what you got!
-
Ohh, and how could I forget?
My 12" Jim Bowie!
-
I guess I don't get out much, this is the first I've heard of the Taurus Gaucho. Nice looking gun!
I've been wanting the Ruger in .45, but after talking my wife into switching to .357's, well, that Taurus might work.
Why one Ruger and one Taurus?
I was thinking of one of the short barrel Sheriffs models for the cross draw.

Ruger doesnt make a .357 in a 7 1/2"(that I know of), the shorter Ruger on my right for quick draw, and the longer Taurus on my left for a little range!

Blackhawk, 7 5/8ths

Oops I know better! Tom, should have known you would be the one to correct me! So I will take my time and explain myself without loopholes ;D Ruger doesnt make a Vaquero in .357 thats longer than 5 1/2, that I know of :P

Right off the web page.
The New Vaquero family includes both "color-case" blued, stainless steel, and engraved models in .357 Magnum and .45 Colt calibers, with barrel lengths of 4 5/8", 5 1/2", and 7 1/2". Ruger's proprietary "color case" finish replicates the mottled "case hardening" found on older guns to harden their softer steels, which is not necessary with the modern, tough steels used in all Ruger revolvers.
Hope this clears up things.

I looked at all the models and they are only making the 7 1/2 for the .45 right now. In all honesty however I would rather have a Ruger any day!!!
-
Sounds like my choices, except for two things:
I'd try the .357 Beretta (though Vaqueros would be nice), and my holsters would be southpaw oriented.
-
Well I like my: 51 RM Conversions in 38 Special, 5 1/2 inch barrels
Deluxe Border rifle in 357
TTN Double barrel shotgun
I've got several knifes to choose from
Now how about backups....
72 open tops in 38 caliber (5 1/2 inch barrel)
66 Winchester, 38 caliber 24 inch barrel
93/97 pump
or there backups
AWA Longhorns, 357 caliber, 4 3/4 inch barrel
73 Winchester, 24 inch barrel
Bakial muled ear double barrel
I like to shoot CAS I think.... ;D

Beautiful, you just changed my mind. Thanks ;D

Anytime I get to type .357 Beretta is always reward and thanks enough. ;D

The stampede is a nice looking pistol , but since ruger is just afew miles from here (Guild NH is less than 50 miles from Laconia) It's got to be Black hawks ;D

Well, in all fairness, the dude was speaking of Cowboy SASS setup.
Blackhawks would be good for modern class, but those adjustable sights are no go for any other category.
And since there are no 7 1/2 inch .357 Vaqueros, my choice went to the Beretta.
(The Laramie Schoffield repros are neato too. Ruger needs to make Schoffields.)
(Also, it's good to see love for the Ruger line.)
