Well, like i said, I didn't want the movie prop gun. The one I'd rather have this Richards-mason Conversion.


Which is different from the movie prop:


The main reason I'm hung up on the 1851, is because I like the octagonal barrel. Only reason I want one is for plinking. .38 special is fine by me for this reason. Any serious use, I have another handgun for. Which would be this one:


Which in turn reminds me that I also want a 1911.

Errr...





Now I'm just relying on the Internet Movie Firearms Database here, but is that not a Colt Buntline Special? Which, if wikipedia is correct, is a modification of the Single Action Army?

Mancos main firearm in Few Dollars More is a Single Action Army as well, I believe:




Are you sure you're not getting For a Few Dollars More mixed up with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?
Blondie (Eastwood) has a 1851 Conversion in that:

Yeah sorry about that I was thinking of the other gun and also mixed up the films.Sorry I was doing all of this at @3 am.

@Ducimus I was trying to explain to Platapus why he might have read that the replica might not be 100% reliable.I was not trying to knock the gun more so to knock anyone who would expect it to be a reliable as a firearm designed more than just plinking around with which is what all of the complaints about the replica on forums i can find it seems that the complainer is miss using the gun.

It's cool, been there, done that, many times. You made a good point on the Vaquero, after all the designs are similar with smaller changes over the years (which goes to show what a good design it was in the first place).

Yes sometimes the brain gets a few steps ahead of the mind.Or maybe its vice verse.

The only thing with the Vaquero is that they are not chambered for an inexpensive caliber making them cost prohibitive as a plinking gun.The primary reason they make the replicas in a smaller caliber is to make the weapon more budget friendly.

Kinda a thread killer, there fellas...

Well played.

Maybe now the gun debate will fall into obscurity.


Debating guns is like debating religion, you are an ass if you are pro, and an ass if against. There is always vile examples of why something is bad, no matter what , I tried it before, I give up...


Pro-gun North-eastern Liberal., is that an oxy moron?

EDIT: Didn't mean to necro this thread off page 2, but the scenario portrayed in that video is one that makes my blood run cold, and because of that, I felt compelled to share it. However, id be an ass and a hypocrite if i started a new thread, so.... um yeah.

The fatal shooting of a home intruder last Friday in Cheltenham appears to have been justifiable, according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman. The 20-year-old Lynnewood Gardens apartment resident, who used an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to shoot the intruder, was in fear of his life and the lives of others in the apartment, said Ferman.

Ill be honest. That video DID get an emotional response from me. That is my, probably anyones, worst nightmare portrayed. Every aspect of that scenario is realistic. Especially if your a resident of New york with their new BS laws.

You can view that video or not. You can agree with it, or not. That is a personal choice. I am not here to nit pick, or play tit for tat. Which is more then what can be said for bilge rat. Apt name by the way.

you can be a real jerk when you want to be.

That video is a NRA propaganda tape of why every homeowner should own an assault rifle. Oddly enough, attacks by multiple drug crazed armed kamikaze intruders rarely seem to happen.
