Longmire

My wife and I enjoy the show, but it's definitely not for the short-attention-span set... long on character development and slowly emerging underlying plotlines, (relatively) short on action.

Beautiful grips, BTW!

:)
 
I watched it once. That was more than enough. Nice grips, though. Too bad about the "cocked and locked" thing. Contrast that with Tom Selleck's character on Vegas.

I like the grips, where can I get a set or two? Are they readily available? I especially like the ones on the 1911.

I like the show too...Walt Longmire is like a cowboy Clint Eastwood/Columbo type, a very believeable character. Ferg is cool too...

Grips are available from member executioner. He actually made mine a little thicker than normal, as I've got big hands. You can also request more or less bark or medallions based on what you want. They fit my guns perfectly.

As for the show, it's somewhat entertaining. I don't expect a lot of realism out of anything on TV. I heard the books are pretty good.

Based on all the episodes I've watched, he carries a Colt Series 70 with hammer down on a loaded chamber, and cocks the gun as needed.

I put the show in the category as "No Country" and "Jesse Stone".

It sure isn't the best cop show on TV, but it's a whole lot better than watching "Dancing with the Stars", "Survivor", "Bachlorette", or "the Jerry Springer show". I am about to the point of getting rid of my TV and back to reading good books.
 
I like the show for some reason, mostly because the other stuff on TV with the exception of The Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, Blue Bloods and Doctor Who in my opinion is about as entertaining as watching someone sleep. I picked up on a couple of the remarks about guns, but I can tell you I have had to straighten out a couple of cops (not CO's but deputies) on firearms and the laws. I talked to one recently, a veteran deputy of 20 years plus who made the comment a month or so back that "civilians don't need AK-47's" I told her I owned one, and that it was before I worked in law enforcement, she kind of got really quiet and just said "oh" I think kind of realizing that not everyone who owned one is going to go scooters and get on the roof of a building or storm a mall. I kind of like the small town cop premise. My father was one and I recall sitting on the passenger seat of the Dodge Diplomat he used to drive, I still recall going to a couple of brush fires with him, I was no older than 6 or 7 at the time. I also remember going with him to get that Diplomat and watching him put the decal on in our driveway for the doors (nothing more than a large version of his badge). The town only had three cars, a white diplomat, a white St. Regis and a blue diplomat that belonged to the chief, who was the only full time cop. Not a bad gig for a town that had only one or two places to eat, one big store, and one gas station.
As far as Grashorn's, I have had a few of his grips and a set on my 27-2 right now. Pat is a first class guy to deal with and the grips fit perfectly, both the gun and my hand.
 
Nice grips. I always thought stags on a .357 looked better than they felt. How are those with full-house loads?

Haven't seen the show yet. May wait for Selleck to make another Jesse Stone now.
 
Now is not the time to cut any slack for any level of anti-gun programming orientation, no matter how mild. That includes the producers of Longmire. That show went off my radar after the third episode.

Haven't tried full house loads with them on. Probably won't. They're more for show than use.
 
No I did not get this rifle. Just grabbed it off the Internet to demo that 'drop block' is a pretty commonly used term.

I often see Deputy Sheriffs in rural counties in New Mexico dressed in casual cowboy type clothing. I don't usually see the High Sheriff so can't say for sure what he wears.
 
I'm enjoying the show despite some serious gun errors. The worst one was a couple episodes ago when Walt cooly thumb lowered the hammer on his 1911 while keeping the perp covered...what safety?
 
I do watch it from time to time & it's not too bad,But more often I watch old shows on Hulu on the Computer stuff like Highway Patrol (one of My Favorites) Dragnet,Adam 12
 
I like the show itself but recently emailed them from the website to complain about the anti gun under tones and inaccuracies
 
Longmires holster is a paddle made by GALCO, as is the cuff and mag case...

Thanks for the bump. I forgot about this thread. And unfortunately both guns and grips have been sold off. Due to pending legislation in my State, I had to re-focus on acquiring soon to be banned long guns.

As for Longmire, I missed the show when it was cancelled. I see Netflix did a season last year. I tried watching it, but just couldn't get into it. I guess it's just over for me and time to move on.
 
Considering that Robert Taylor is an Aussie, the Walt character at least sounds pretty real.

I've only seen a couple of episodes. I thought the Henry character was kind of a stack of stereotypes. Loved the scenery, though.
 
Today is the day but we still haven't watched season five yet. Maybe we will binge over the weekend between football games.
 
Old thread...............but I hope Netflix does one more season. That means I liked the show. A lot! Along with Justified, Deadwood, and a few others.
 
I Like the grips.....Beautiful pardner !!!

Never got into the show, but the dude carrying has good taste.
