Bob, I like you're defense of the "ugly" tag these guns get. I love the flamboyant flash when Mexican influence mixes up with American culture. And it's exclusive to the southwest. Stevie Ray Vaughn and ZZ Top are an example of this. These guys were raised on Tex-Mex music. There music and flashy way of dress just wouldn't happen in Wisconsin for example. The old lawmen of that era felt it. Look at the way everyone dress in Tombstone. I think they got that right. And I like the fact that such gaudy, pretty guns were used by hard core tough as nail mankillers. BTW. Do Colts count?
