I figured it had to be something like jigged bone, it would be almost physically impossible for
a stag to grow grips into a perfect plow handle configuration. They still look great, even if they
aren't authentic Stag Horn, thru and thru.
Very sweet! I'm planning a trip that could take me through Cody Wyoming. Think I'm going to stop into the firearms museum there.
I'm not a huge western fan, but the remake of 3:10 to Yuma was an awesome flick IMO and I found myself ogling pretty much every gun in it.
Glad you had fun!
It's well worth the time. My wife and I spent a few days in Cody celebrating our anniversary one year...I don't remember which anniversary it was.I'm planning a trip that could take me through Cody Wyoming. Think I'm going to stop into the firearms museum there.
Cody is a cool town. I spent a day there about ten years ago, but did not have time to stop into the Western Heritage Museum. That short time was time enough for me to decide I could live there if the right job came along.It's well worth the time.

Anyway, while we were in Cody, there was a huge gunshow. It put every gunshow I've ever been to around here to shame.
Depending on the time of year I suppose, Cody also has one of those cowboy shootouts in the street every afternoon. It's one of the better of those types of shows I've ever seen too.
If your upcoming trip takes you through Ogden, Utah, I also highly recommend the J.M. Browning museum. It's right next to the railroad museum...kinda adjoined to it, I think. It's pretty amazing too.
James Arnes was 6'5" tall so he preferred a longer gun.Nice post, J-BAR. My favorite was Matt Dillon's 7-1/2 inch Colt SAA with the Stag Horn grips.
Barrel was always a little long for my taste, but those grips!

I don't do cowboy reenactments though. They do those in the next town over from me. A few years ago one of the actors had a breakdown and wounded a bunch of people when he used real ammo.
The browning museum is something I plan on doing. One of my best friends lives in Ogden, and the next time I visit, I want to take the time.
