I've been Cowboy Shooting two Uberti 5.5" Schofields for the last 14 years, and have never had a lick of trouble with them. I've got 5 different pairs of cowboy guns, so they only get shot every fifth match, but that still amounts to a LOT of shooting over the years. I've personally never...
Larry, there has been SO much written about the "original" Bowie knife, that it's very hard to determine if anything is a "genuine" replication. Rezin Bowie supposedly described it at essentially a large butcher knife, without a handguard. But again, no one really knows for sure.

My 19-5 was purchased new in 1986. I carried it in a Safariland Model 19 shoulder rig, as a back up to my department issued Model 686 when working mids, and as off-duty carry for a while as well. Once I started working when the sun was out, BUG duty went to a Model 38, but I never even once...
