Details
The less-tamed Wild West attracted the bold, the desperate and the occasional Renaissance man.
Inside you’ll discover extraordinary tales including that of a Tombstone, Ariz., physician who became the leading authority on treating gunshot wounds through plenty of experience. Some of his innovations are standard practice today.
You’ve likely heard the myth (or is it?) of quick-draw gunslingers fanning their single-action revolver hammers to fill the air with lead. Is “fanning” a made-for-movies fabrication, or was it a legitimate gunfighting skill? You may be surprised by the facts.
Speaking of quick shooting in the single-action world, in this issue, you learn the ins and outs and overall appeal of Cowboy Action Shooting.
Even into the cartridge ammunition era, many clung to the proven cap & ball revolver design. This issue takes an in-depth look at the famous Colt 1851 revolver.
Or, you can explore new guns, like Taylor’s .357 lever-action rifles and “Smoke Wagon” revolvers, a Chiappa 1887 shotgun, the all-fun Ruger Wrangler Birdshead rimfire and Marlin 1895 Trapper.
You will enjoy this edition of Old West: History, Guns & Gear. Sit back, read a story or three, and appreciate the comfy life we all enjoy now.
