This is an M1917 my grandpa bought from the CMP in the 50s for $12. It has signal corps markings on the .455 Webley barrel. Somewhere along the way, it got a .45ACP cylinder. Needs moon clips to get proper headspace. Has a very smooth, heavy double action trigger and a single action trigger that puts […]
Cowboy
Henry 45-70 Lever Action Rifle
The lever action rifle is a part of America. It helped tame the west and was a brilliant design in its own right when it was first produced. I personally was taught to shoot on a Marlin golden Mountie in .22 LR as a child. There are several manufacturers in the USA who produce a […]
Smoke Wagon by Taylor’s & Co. Brings Back the Old West
Gun-lovers can breathe easily, at least until 2018. The 2016 elections have eased fears that what we want today may be banned tomorrow (Except behind enemy lines in California). We’ve rushed out and bought our AR-15s, normal-capacity magazines, and loaded up on ammo. At least for a little while we can relax and get back […]
And Now For Something…Completely Different 45 Colt
The last eight years saw an unprecedented expansion of gun ownership in America. Some of us already owned a few before the “scare era” of gun buying began. Those who did now own dozen, and those who are new gun owners may have listened to the suggestions of others as to what to buy in […]

First Look: 1875 Schofield from Taylor’s & Co.
If the 1873 is the quintessential cowboy gun, the Schofield it the ultimate. Taylor’s & Co. makes it possible for us to enjoy the gun you’ve seen in movies like Unforgiven, Tombstone, and 3:10 to Yuma. The Schofield was invented by a cavalry officer as a solution for tackling the task of reloading while on […]
First Look: Evil Roy 1873 Colt from Cimarron
“Evil Roy” is the stage name of World and National SASS champion Gene Pearcey. Cimarron firearms has produced an 1873 Colt Single Action in his name that is ready for competition. I don’t compete in SASS, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a nice hand gun! For those not familiar with Cimarron Firearms or […]
Emerson Knives Horseman: Portable and simple
Emerson Knives have long been a collector’s piece and useful workhorse of many knife aficionados, military, LEO, and hard workers everywhere. The rugged durability and common sense design have long been sought after since the companies inception. I personally was a bit put off by the price point on some of their knives. After destroying […]
