I thought this migfht be an interesting discussion after reading the recent posts in the open carry experiences thread.
I live in the "boonies" where bear and other critters are just as much a problem as bad guys. I also have very small hands that make it impossible to hold a large caliber auto or DA revolver properly. My 1911 has a super short trigger. Someday I'd like to modify a .44mag S&W Model 29 to fit...
So, that has led me to a highly modified Ruger Bisley Vaquero. .45 Long Colt. The grip frame has been cut and shortened, and it has a S&W target rear sight, plus a lot of accuracy mods.
Since it is a single action revolver, I practice a lot. That's the joy of the boonies, I get to shoot in my back yard!:celebrate
I feed it 280 grain cast lead that comes out the other end at 1150fps (remember the bears).
It is carried strong side in a leather "Tom Threepersons" style holster with an adjustable welt for tension and retention.
I look forward to hearing what you guys, and gals, carry.
