I like having the separate forums. I wish people would use the Wild Bunch forum more. I think there are people willing to help out on both forums...but it is nice to have more specific places to go to for certain information

I’ve worn a tied down holster since I started shooting Wild Bunch. And no one ever said a thing. But that was when common sense ruled.

I have wanted a Savage 99 since I was a kid reading Roy Chapman Andrews' exploits in China and Mongolia. But prices kept going higher and higher on them. But we had a shooter grade one come in to the LGS I work part time at, so I put it on layaway. It will be next month before I pay it off, but I am stoked to get it. It's in .300 Savage, so reloading is on tap for it. Hopefully I can use it in Teddy Roosevelt shooting and not embarrass myself too much.

A question was raised at Land Run during the warmup, so the match director specifically addressed it in the main match shooter’s meeting as allowed/legal. There is nothing in the rules about it, and I would have a hard time arguing against it when I look at original issued 1911 holsters.

I did a quick online search and the leg strap was an traditional M1912 calvary holster design. I also checked the wild bunch rule book and I'm not sure why it wouldn't be allowed, there is no rule excluding it....

Whoever dreamt-up Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy should have thought a bit more about the pistol requirements. Both of these new WB categories should require that they be shot with a Mil-spec 1911, Traditional, single-handed grip - the way the Good Lord and John Browning meant for it to be.
