The Remington revolver. Better than a Colt.

It’s nice to see that someone who know little or nothing about firearms still appreciates and posts pretty gun porn pictures.

Most of those revolvers were never used in a spaghetti western, and the group photo seems to be a mystery to the author.

Thanks for the pics.

Good-looking. But not the equal of the SAA.

One of my detecting pals has a freakin’ original one carried by a several greats grandfather while fighting for the CSA. It’s set up in a trust structure with rotating custody and 3 or more descendants have to vote yes to sell it.

I could be wrong, but in the group photo, it appears to be an early 1900s hammerless shotgun, an 1873 Winchester rifle, a S&W Schofield revolver, Remington Rolling Block rifle and a pair of 1875 Remington revolvers.

Yeah, he’s as bad as Sean_Anthony, but because he blogpimps about firearms, people don’t notice.

Saw a marlin 336 in one that was set in the 1880s

Must have been the same movie guy who armed some of the Alamo defenders with Winchester 73s - I nearly had a stroke.

Can't believe they left out Billy the Kid's favorite:

The double-action Colt Lightning...

A model 29 isn’t exactly period correct for a western...
