Will:___________ We've got a couple of the #1 "Moneybelts". They are a folded design, sewn at the bottom. They are comfortable and look great. The one piece design essentially lines the belt on the inside. RE: Lined holsters. El Paso lines the holsters (...we have a couple of lined ones...) and lets the lining come over the top of the holster and down the outside about 1/4 inch or so. They look great and the lining can be re-done. All of our rigs are the old timey oil tanned russet. The holsters are the "original 1890" lined. We also have a couple of military style flaps. The build quality is great; and you simply cannot beat the "authenticity" factor. In the interest of "full disclosure"; some folks dont like el paso; they say that the customer service is not what it once was (...a son has took over...). For what it's worth, weve never had any problems. Take a look at the CAS forums and see what they say. Secondly, it usually takes about 90 or so days from order to delivery. That is about the norm for this stuff. Take a look at these posts for additional information: El Paso Saddlery - Holsters - THR As an interesting side note; the original El Paso Saddlery built holsters for the great Tom Threepersons, the legendary El Paso border lawman. They are, in fact, the fathers of the "threepersons" holster design. Hope this helps. leroy

Wll:________________ We have several holster / gun belt sets at our house; at least four from El Paso Saddlery (....link here: El Paso Saddlery - Holsters ....) and one from Bob Mernickle (....link here: MERNICKLE HOLSTERS .....). As fond as i am of Bob Mernickle (...he is a delightful man and a great supporter of single action shooting stuff...); i like the El Paso Saddlery stuff the best; because it's oil tanned and i like the old time finish. Bob Mernickle likes the newer water based acrylic finishes for his stuff. I haven't ordered anything from them (...el paso saddlery...) in several years; but they used to be one of the best suppliers of period correct holsters and old time military holsters and gun belts available. Mernickle does period correct stuff as well as CAS fast draw stuff as well. I know this sounds strange; but i like the old Mills Pattern web type belts from the Indian Wars period better than the double thickness gun belts. Both El Paso and Wolfears Equipment make them. The belts are tough, good looking, and more comfortable than a double thickness leather belt (...we have used both the leather and web belt style gunbelts with our sets...); especially if you like the wide rifle catridge belt style (...we do, they look great...). Try this guy out; he makes the best i've ever seen: Wolf Ears .... . We have a couple of combination belts from him that have both 12 gage loops (...he can do any loop; rifle, pistol, or shotgun...) and 45 colt loops on it. It's tea stained to turn it a light tan to straw color that is the greatest looking belt i've ever seen. It has the old time "US" brass buckle on it. Best of all, its somewhat adjustable. You cant get that with the old time leather gunbelts (...except in the belt buckle holes...). All the guys listed above are great to deal with. We've ordered a ton of stuff from them (...especially el paso saddlery...) over the years. Hope this helps. leroy

I agree. I'd start looking here myself. Had the same problem with an old 86 full size blazer. I dont like thee self locking hubs either. They have a tendency to go bad and lock up at the wrong time. good luck leroy

73:___________ This may stir up a bit of a "hornet's nets" RE: calibers for the GM; but ya might want to take a look at the old 38 super. The super is a great alternate to the 9mm for the GM; and it's been around a long time. I think the real bonus is the super is a longer round, and that makes it more reliable in the gm platform. I've shot 'em in the old days (...before folks tried to make the 9mm work in a gm...) out of the full size colts and they shoot like a house afire. They are flat shooters, powerful, and reliable. I'm gittin a bit older myself and am thinkin of doing a ramped 38 super in a full size gm of some sort for consealed carry. It calms down the recoil of the 45 a bit --- easier on hands that are getting weaker. Food for thought. leroy

I like it!! I got its brother (...i think it is the newer model; sadly....) in the gun safe. The model 37 is a great shotgun. I believe that the ithaca was what the winchester model 12 should have been. That's pretty serious company! Enjoy! leroy

Xring:__________________ Thanks for the great report. I think ya spoke the greatest truth that could be spoken RE: the mini 14 right here: I think that this is exactly what a mini is and it is exactly what Bill Ruger intended it to be. I'd love to have one. I need a 7.62 x 39 (...if they still make 'em...). Thanks for posting this neat review!! Keep up the good work. leroy

I checked "whattare ya talkin about..."!! Several things come to mind; they were old and died naturally. The guvbmt pizened 'em with old Vietnam Era stuff from Pine Bluff to see if its still good. Enviornmental activists pizened them and blamed global warming and the military-industrial complex for killin 'em. Bin Laden did it -- it's an practice attack on "infidel" creatures. The red chinese "high seas fleet" did it to "send a message" to the declining western powers to tell them: "...we are your masters, send more money (...same as the missile launch off the california coast the other day...)...". Kim Jong Ill did it using "mini EMP technology" (...you know, not too much of a bang--a "mini bang, man -- too costly to do the big one...) to prove to the world that North Korea is a "real threat to the decadent capitalist war mongers of the west"... Aliens did it with the help of "death ray" technology too far advanced for us earthlings to comprehend --- "...It's just the beginning!!...". Finally, and my favorite of all:"...George Bush did it with his "weather machine". He was aiming at another minority population center and the rays bounced off these unfortunate creatures (...killing them, of course...) and, thankfully, averting another "Biblical Catastrophe" for some unnamed location in a "Deep blue" area like Washington DC, Baltimore, Cleveland or Philadelphia. Rove helped him do it; that's why they missed!! I need some more coffee and my nerve medicine; im upset just thinkin about this!! "nervous" leroy

Me too!! It looks great!! Leroy
