We do have awesome maple syrup though.

And good whiskey too!

After looking at that guys site, if it was me, I'd go with a Colt. Any Single Action Army you liked.

They make tire chains for your Miata John. Oh wait you have to ride a horse in Canada.

There is got to be a law against putting tire chains on a Miata ... I don't drive the Miata or Mustang if it rains . My Mustang has never been washed or rain on since I got new in Jan 2011 .

The last horse I rode was in 1954 . I owned over 10 horses at one time in 1967 and never rode any of them in 1 yr I was in the horse business .

In Ruger 45 LC be careful they have chamber sizing problems .

Now that something I never knew and I almost bought a new Ruger Vaquero in 45LC (Model 5101). But mainly because of Ammo costs, I went with a 357/38 instead (Model 5106). Although I only shoot 38's in it.

I have two sets of chains for my Ford Bronco II. It will go anywhere in the snow. May not go very fast but it will go.

Uberti makes excellent Colt SAA clones. If you can afford a real Colt, you can't go wrong with the best. If Ruger New Vaqueros are available, they also make excellent CAS guns. They look similar to Colt SAA's but have different innards that tend to break less often.

I found a company in Canada that has a pretty good selection, but I've not heard of this manufacturer: but this is sure a good looking revolver;

just looked up a bunch of info on Pietta....gets good reviews, high quality Colt clones, and reasonable price here. Love the 1873 7.5" barrel...

I can say I've owned over 20 Pietta SA guns in my life and I have only have 1 now . This is my opinion I feel the Uberti was better gun . I found the parts in a Pietta softer and wear out quickly and I think the Uberti top of the line . At one time Uberti SA part were used to build Colts . Pic # 1 is my Cimarron / Uberti and the other 2 pic are Pietta . The 1873 ML were Pietta guns and I notice super fast wear and I had to heat treat the part with Hard-N-Tuff to stop the wear . Now remember I shot at 1 time I shot over 20 times more ammo in a gun then most people .

You certainly have some beautiful guns and your knowledge is admirable.

That is good info for sure. Thank you. Ubertis are available here as well. I'll do some homework. Appreciated.
