Oryx Mount

Here’s pictures of the Oryx [Gemsbok] I shot on August 1, 2009, now proudly hanging on my living room wall. This is a “Bull with non-typical horns”, as you can see. The pictures do not do it justice. “Garcia Taxidermy” in Alamogordo, NM, the company that made the mount, are a “World Class Taxidermist” and to see it gives a whole new prospective. Extremely lifelike and it flooded me with awesome memories.

Ruger New Bisley Vaquero

Just picked up a new “Ruger New Bisley Vaquero” in 357 MAG and it is awesome. This is my first “Bisley” and I have to say it is a perfect fit to my hand. I had been looking for a Bisley for months because I was drawn to the Bisley grip and swept back hammer. I was a bit concerned that it wouldn’t feel like my other SAA’s but I was happily wrong.


I have many other SAA’s in 45 Colt so I opted for this one in 357 MAG so I could shoot my 38 handloads in it and am very pleased with the results. I found the gun to be very accurate even after shooting several hundred 38′s in it and the barrel got barely warm [mind you it was a 40 degree morning].


I dressed her up a bit in grips by Esmeralda and have attached several pix. Esmeralda’s grips are beautiful and are worth looking into.
