Wow!!! Some of those are just downright gorgeous!! Here are some of mine. Not real fancy, but certainly functional.
Many years ago when I was "playing cowboy," the country where the ranch was located had a lot of thick timber-covered, mountainous areas...black bear country. Our foreman wanted all of us carrying a revolver when horseback away from the ranch headquarters, and he preferred we carried a single-action because, as he put it, "Even when it's dirty, it'll still work!"
I guess old habits die hard because I still carry a single-action when I'm horseback up in the hills.
