El Paso Saddlery Speed Rig Holster Review - Ruger Vaquero SASS Pistols
If classics had no attraction, there would be no interest in old cars, old movies, antiques, or cowboys. But luckily we have a romantic bond with the past which has shaped what we wanted to be when (or if) we ever grew up. I am sure almost every kid, more specifically boys, wanted to be a cowboy at one point or another. For me I seemed to alternate between pretending to be both the good guy and the bad, however I always had my dual cap guns strapped to my waist scaring the crap out of one or another stray cat on the property. I would sneak up on them and "Pow Pow", then giggle like made. Never have liked cats, and still don't. Mom and dad definitely got mileage from that cowboy outfit and accompanying cap guns.
After Mrs. Pandemic an my visit to Oklahoma City and the National Cowboy Museum, I felt all those emotions rushing back again. Thousands of strands of barbed wire, stunning custom presentation firearms, and a whole lot of movie and real life history. If you have not been to the museum, it will be one of the most fun experiences which will drive you to a giddy kid laugh. All the cool stuff you saw in the movies is there from Roy Rogers, to Wild Bill's cowboy western show to, the Three Amigos, to everything from Clint Eastwood. The movie history was a small percentage of the museum and was interesting, however it was the real life history of the West which was interesting and emotionally powerful. One day was not enough.

FIT, FINISH, FEEL, FEATURES, & FUNCTIONS


The Speed Rig belt and holster setup is a El Paso Saddlery tuned design which is a good all around hoster design and is not steel lined but is extremely rigid. Addition safety features are hammer loops on the holsters which essentially lock the hammer down and prevents the pistol from being cocked in the holster or falling out.



Jumping into this top tier SASS dual pistol, belt and holster was without question an "investment" of which i am still learning more and more about its use each day ... on conference calls and at the range. This is very much a case of buying a formula one race car an then learning how to drive it, but the challenge has been a blast.


FINAL THOUGHTS
At a time where we are Tactical Everything, it has been refreshing to slow down a bit with this set of single action Ruger Vaqueros mounted up in this stunning leatherwork masterpiece that is my El Paso Saddlery leather rig. Most importantly, I feel like a kid again, get plenty of enjoyment out of it both on and off the range.
