There is a fellow back East, I think in New Hampshire? He has all the new style springs and they are very high quality, lever, lifter and trigger springs. The guy is a SASS member and very easy to deal with. Do a search for The Smith Shop. I have dealt with him quite often and always been pleseantly surprised at how easy he is to do bussiness with.

I'm not sure what's going on. I hear they lost staff along with the long gun registry.
Regardless......I wish they would hurry up!

That would mean we will see the Kitimat Kid a week Sunday. My shotgun arrived this week so we should be able to have tete a tete.

Having never actually felt 'frog snot' - and seeing as I am more than willing to forgo the experience - I will take your word for it

Ha ha ha yeah well the burritos they sell over there...I tell ya....
Howdy folks,
I started with a Rossi M92 .357mag, great gun, I bought the Nate Kiowa Jones DVD and had a local gunsmith do the mods, it worked beautifully. I eventually went to a Uberti 66 in .38spl, again I bought all the race parts and had them installed by a local gunsmith, we also reinforced the loading gate right out of the box. I was told that it is an issue that you will need to address very soon if you don't do it right away.
The Uberti is a lot faster and looks awesome.
A couple of my fellow Cowboy Shooters run Chaparrals 66, they've had great luck with theirs they both have all of the same race parts and runs just as well as mine. The quality of the finish is better on the Uberti and that, IMO, is what you pay extra for.
I also went with NM Vaqueros from the get go, all I did is swap the springs for a pair of Wolf springs and that has been it. I have approx 10,000 rounds thru the pair of em with no issues. I highly recommend'em. A lot of the guys are shooting Piettas and they love 'em.
Bottom line you have lots to choose from and fact is, upgrading isn't that hard, there are always people out there looking to buy well maintained, used guns at a fair price. I sold my 92 to a new shooter for the original price minus taxes and I got 2 excellent years out of it, so, whatever you go with, enjoy it, hope for the best and shoot them cowboy targets all to hell!

Bob/John do I hear the potential for a Terrace CAS shoot?.......
I am guessing...........No.
I don't think the support is here to make it happen; but PG is just a short roadtrip away
John
I agree with John. That said there is nothing to stop us from playing with our toys after an IDPA shoot. All we have to do is age the BG's back to the 1800's. John is always a fashion statement so he won't have to change cloths and your hat says it all :>)
