Sixguns

Anyone have a good pic and spec's on Gen. George Patton's famous single action revolver?

I am on my second Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt. The first one was the 4.58 barrel I had ten years ago.  The sights were so off I had to buy an extended screw and cut out the top of its holster to let it fit. Traded it off.  Just bought one with the 7.5 barrel a few weeks ago. With rear sight cranked all the way down I am still 6" low at 25 yards. I  had a 3 screw 357 that I am sorry I traded off  years ago, and have a single six that shoots dead on with either cylinder. Seems my luck is bad with with Blackhawks in this caliber.

I'm really digging my 44SPL Vaquero Sheriffs model.  So far I have just been informally plinking and testing loads.  I'd love to carry this gun as my CCW but feel that I need to practice with it more to really get the basics down.  This is my first single action and I'd like to know the basics of loading/unloading so I can work on technique and speed.  I'd also like to know the standard technique for cocking the hammer.  I was shooting two-handed the other day and found it very comfortable to cock the hammer back with my support hand.

Hi guys.  Not much action on the forums lately so I thought I'd spice things up with a pic of my new sixgun.  Its a S&W 629-6 5" Classic and I am loving it.  I had a 629PC model with the 2+ inch barrel and I gotta say that i didn't enjoy it all that much.  So I ended up trading for this beauty.  I am very impressed with the fit, function, trigger, and overall classic appearance of this gun.  It shoots my new load of 5.5gr Bullseye under a 240gr LSWC very well too.  Now I just need some leather for it.

Anyone out there use the Ideal mold 401452 in the 38-40?
If so, what's your experience?

Can somebody with a Ruger New Vaquero please answer a couple of questions for me?
1) the diameter of the base pin
2) the length from the end of the main body (not the spring loaded transfer bar actuator) to the middle of the locking notch

Thanks

Mike

How would I contact Walt Ostin about leather?  Does he have a website?  

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse (didn't see where this was brought up before)
Local gunshop had in one of the Lipseys 4 inch bisley stainless 44 mags..... I want one so bad I can taste it  .... they sold it before I could scrape together the cash.... any one in the know ?  Are they just starting to flow and we'll see more? Or gonna be scarce as hens teeth and go back to the original plan of saving up for Ham
Bowen to make me one out of a 7.5........  Likey go to him for action and sights regardless.  

Has anyone seen the BlackHawk 45 Convertible in person? It comes with 2 cylinders, one in .45colt & the other in .45acp; pretty neat huh???
They also have a model in .357/9mm...
Vaquero is another model available in the .45 Convertible, but I'm told that its only available through Davidsons, as I had a local dealer check for me...
Take a look on-line, I'm curious as to what you think...
