I posted this on the Ruger Forum and wanted to share it over here This is for my NM FT 44Spl 5 1/2" and he calls this his #5 model. These pics don't do his work justice but I can tell you it is premium grade all the way, the stitching is simply superb and he gets the cant just right on the strong side. I hated to take it off my belt for pics I looked so good out there....the "PA grass grizzlies" just stared in awe ...and even though I missed every one of them this weekend at the farm, I looked damn good doing it. Was fortunate enough to actually meet Mike and his step son (a aspiring sixgunner himself) as I am blessed to have him within a 15 Minute drive of my home. Thanks again Mike! Outstanding piece of cowhide!    |

Another Pittsburgher! I'd forgotten that. Better hope sixshot never finds Pa. There won't be any grass grizzlies left when he's done. It's been a while since I've shot any in Pa. Here's one from a couple years ago, shot around Columbia Crossroads, using a .32 H&R FA:  Sorry about the hijack. Great looking holster as always, Mike! |

Our fat whistle pigs would be easy for Sixshot and Callshot...they are at least 3 times the size... but we know they are smarter than those little ground squirrels, hell ours even can predict the weather!  Rumor has it that a well known hidestretcher may have educated one to the sound of a 44Spl recently... I can't talk since I missed 3 the day I took the pics! |

...I have heard rumor, probably spurious, that you can order with a secret code, like at In & Out Burgers, and get faster delivery. Use the code "Bump Fermin" to get ahead in the line up.
Razor, You might PM Mike Baranti himself and ask him directly.

Ya got that right! ;D As Frankie and I were walking out of the field, we spotted a big fat one crossing the clear cut ahead of us a ways off. Frankie and I tried to put the stalk on him but the critter was moving towards some logs and ready to duck out of sight. I took a shot at him but I know I held over him too much. We paced it off at about 76 long steps...next time! ;D |
