The cowboy gun is simply the most fun ...
Ditto - when I want -fun- I take my SAA clone and my lever rifle. I agree they are slow to reload, but that may be part of the therapy. The inverse, semi-auto 22.lr with high capacity (like a Ruger 10/22 with a big magazine) - wow, what fun for a few seconds, but after a few magazines, I don't feel nearly as 'at peace' as I do when I have gone through 30 rounds in a SAA six shooter.
The lever rifle is in a class by itself. There is something so visceral about the cycle, load, airmailing, shoot sequence.
