The Walker...




The Bisley and the 1875




The Vaquero




The Colt 2nd gen...




Can't find a handy shot of the conversion.

As the first to vote I chose the Richards Mason Conversion.   I am going to shoot mine tomorrow but have no plans to wear it on Monday.    It's my favorite cartridge gun.

Only because barbecue guns are usually the fancy guns....I vote for the Vaquero with "ivory" grips.

+1

But, I'd probably have to carry one of these

I think it would be a really huge labor carrying the Walker around all day, unless you have a gun bearer. :'(  I voted for the 1851. That one just speaks to me. :-*  The ivory gripped Ruger is nice, but reminds me of a 'disco' gun. (*3   8)

I cast my vote for the 1851. But I do love my old Bisley Super Blackhawk. But the 1851 is way better looking.  )l_
