It looks like a heck of a lot of fun, but sadly no. I should buy a Colt Peacemaker though!

I wish I could shoot more steel but their are not really any ranges around here that allow it, since people are stupid and stuff bounces back at them. The last range that allowed it banned it after some moron was popping steel with an AK74 at 10 yards and a round came back and hit someone.

Hickok45 shoots a lot of steel, looks like a lot of fun.

I have a pal who's deep into it. Went with him a few times and enjoyed watching. Had a custom rig made for my Vaquero 45 thinking I'd get into it, but so far I haven't.

I haven't tried it either, I would needed to have bought even more guns, usually that's a fun excuse, but my safe is full.

No, and it's put away in the safe. I'll get a shot of it if I get time. It's basically a Mexican style rig. I had some real old little silver stars that I'd scavenged off an old saddle that I had worked into the holster. It came out real nice.

Does look like fun. They do it a lot out at Ben Avery which is my "home" range if you will. I've shot steel plates at ten yards but not really gotten into it in a big way. Problem with something like that for me is it takes up way too much time and requires a committment I'd be hard pressed to make.

A guy I know is the Regional Champion for Texas, Oklahoma and a few other states. It looks like a lot of fun.
