Ok- I got the itch to get into CAS. I've been noodling an outfit togther.
Being the hard nosed cuss that i am, I bought some old Colts that had been
messed with in one way or another and tinkered them back to health, an old
92 takedown converted to .357 sometime in the past, an old '97 12ga takedown ( can't help it i love takedowns ) and maybe a few more items to come. So here it is- am i nuts for going down this trail? Should i have bought
a pair of rugers and a new in box '92 and a stoger? Anyone out there shoot
these oldies? Don't get me wrong, i respect ruger ( love to have a pair of
Gary Reeder Bisleys ) i just don't know if I'd drive 45 minutes to shoot em.

1899 colt saa w 2nd gen cyl .45 4.75"
1905 colt saa vp w 2nd gen cyl .45 4.75"
1903 Bisley .44spl / 44wcf 5.5"
1907 Bisley .44spl / 44wcf 5.5"
1892 takedown .357 conversion ( in process of converting to .44spl)
1897 takedown 12ga ( in process )
