WymoreWrangler, didn't Wild Bill shoot Colt Navy 1851 .36's?

And weren't they cap and ball?

Gotta admire Wild Bill, though. He knew what he had and he knew how to use them. With his learned skill with the .36, no wonder he never went to the .44-40 or .45LC.

Back then they called it shot placement.

Don;

I have a Gaucho in .45 Colt, and it is an excellent gun! I love to shoot it, and one of these days I'm going to buy its parner so I can shoot it in SASS. Marshall Holloway has a lot more experience in SASS than I do, by the way.

I've begged Bob Morrison at Taurus to make me a .44 Special (or heck, even a .44 Magnum) Gaucho, but he points out that the only guys who'd buy one are me, John Taffin and three of our closest friends!

Picked up my Gaucho today. Very nice to look at. Click,click,click,click. Plan to do some shooting this weekend. Turns out my local FFL, Matt, and his wife participate in Cowboy Action Shooting. She brought out her Ruger Vaqueros (sp). They were quick to mention the local club.

All I need now is another six shooter, holsters, a rifle, a shotgun, a hat, chaps and spurs! Hmmm, think I'll go watch a few times first.

Don, if your local club is like most clubs, just show up and you will be surprised at how many folks are willing to loan you what you need to have fun with....

Pathfinder, if I remember correctly, Wild Bill was known to have a pair of R/M 1851 Conversions in 38 Long Colt near the end of his short life.  It would have been alot of shorter though if he hadn't had a good lawyer when he was tried for murder 14 miles north of me after the McCandless affair....

Got home tonight just ahead of the rain. Got a few shots in with the Gaucho. It is a keeper! "I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande...

At first I thought it was going to be too light for the .45s. No problem with one hand shooting (of course I was using those sissy cowboy loads).

If you don't have a six shooter, get one!
