Whats the revolver in the holster there? Looks nice! Every western I watch my desire to own a "cowboy" type gun (revolver with a long barrel) grows more and more.

Not sure what revolver his is, but I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 that I love. Even better, it has a Marlin 1894c in .357 to go with it (and a 9mm cylinder if I get bored with .357s)

Sorry for the dark picture:

Board, meet the family.

Keys, Wallet and Phone all self explanatory. Rings are my Aggie Ring and my wedding band.
Guns from top to bottom are Rock Island Armory 1911A1, the bare boned "GI" version. I carry it with 2 spare mags for 25 rounds of .45ACP.
Next is my first pistol, a Taurus Millennium Pro PT145. I carry it with a spare 12 round 24/7 mag, giving me 23 rounds of .45ACP.
The revolver is a Taurus 650CIA in stainless. I carry it with 2 speed strips for 15 rounds total of .357 magnum.

The .45s are both usually carried in Crossbreed Supertucks, or the 1911 is in a Galco OWB when its cold enough. I carry the .357 in either a pocket holster or an ankle holster, depending on how I'm dressed that day.

The knives are a Ka-Bar TDI, with my Corps Outfit logo engraved into the blade. Under that is a Ken Onion Leek, and then a random beater Gerber.

Its good to have options, isn't it?

Just added this Taurus 650 CIA to the rotation.

The first mod will be to change the beavertail on it and possibly upgrade the sites....but I do want to get some grim reaper grips for it.

Congrats! I have one just like it and have loved mine so far. Its ate everything I put through it...haven't managed to let the hammer bite me, even with the old style grip safety. Sights do need to be upgraded though.

Because I was getting it replaced under warranty, I had to send back the old one. Maybe this is just a good excuse to go upgrade to a nice new black phone. "Why do you need a new phone?..Because it doesn't match my gun and my knife!"

I had a black one, but I dropped it into a hot tub. They sent me the white one as a replacement instead of my black one. I wasn't happy, but needed a phone so just kept it.

This will be my daily carry if/when my permit ever comes in...

Taurus PT145 10+1 .45ACP in a Crossbreed Supertuck
Spare 10 round mag
Ka-bar TDI knife
Palm Centro
Car Keys
Wallet

Over 400 trouble free rounds in my 145. It makes a very nice carry piece IMO. If my plastic ever gets here....I'll be carrying mine daily.
