Should I need leatherwork I can't do myself, I'm looking up his name. <br />The forum is enjoyable, too, particularly if you aren't worried about catching the "Swiss Flu" and buying 5 different straight pull rifles!Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-27685375082532435752012-04-24T04:25:27.520-05:002012-04-24T04:25:27.520-05:00I am quite fond of this guy here for gun leather, ...I am quite fond of this guy here for gun leather, and you may consider this a shameless plug:<br /><br />http://www.simplyrugged.com/<br /><br />I was half a click away from buying from El Paso when Rob was recommended to me. Among other designs, Rob offers the old Tom Threepersons/El Paso/George Lawrence design and built a holster and belt for my barbecue gun that is, simply, stunning in addition to rugged, in oxblood color with the old-style western carving. And, with a Ranger style belt that isn't on his website. The assembly is georgous and utilitarian at the same time. I don't think you'd be disappointed.<br /><br />HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-59581237103027029072012-04-20T12:46:04.258-05:002012-04-20T12:46:04.258-05:00We get worked up about HS using Horiuchi's tes...We get worked up about HS using Horiuchi's testimonial, and rightly so, but we should not forget why his testimonial was seen as valuable in the first place. It was (presumably) not because HS thought people would be fans of his shot at Ruby Ridge, but because after Ruby Ridge and Waco, he was promoted, presumably a few times, and ended up in charge of some big chunk of the FBI's rifle program; his testimonial was to the effect that HS products had served well in the program he was running.<br /><br />I know it's hard to boycott the FBI, but really, just pause a moment and let that sink in. I admit that until the HS Precision brouhaha, I had assumed that Horiuchi was quietly retired from the FBI somewhere where he couldn't cause further embarrassment, but that was never the case, was it? They promoted him.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-72648996580338083802012-04-19T08:38:40.872-05:002012-04-19T08:38:40.872-05:00I know the owner of El Paso Saddlery and he stoppe...I know the owner of El Paso Saddlery and he stopped caring the minute Bobby McNellis died. He now owns restaurants called Wing Stop in El Paso and other places and uses the Saddlery as collateral. I'm betting it was Ryan at the convention and that's pretty much his attitude around the shop also. Expect the store to go under in the near future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-32497977713205864552012-04-18T07:21:56.668-05:002012-04-18T07:21:56.668-05:00Wee, you have spam lawdog.Wee, you have spam lawdog.Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-26084927945984256302012-04-17T19:46:12.238-05:002012-04-17T19:46:12.238-05:00Sad, sad day.
