Muskets vs. Rifles -- Which Would You Have Used? Since a rifle has spiral grooves inside the barrel that impart spin to the bullet, improving both distance and accuracy, why did the armies of the 1500s, 1600s, 1700s and 1800s continue to use less accurate, smooth bore muskets as their primary weapons of war? The Most Innovative Automatic Pistol A brief history of the very famous Luger P08 Parabellum pistol, and what has set it apart from other handguns throughout 20th Century history. Why Buy A Non-Firing Gun? 4 Reasons It Makes Sense When you mention non-firing replica gun to a hunter, sport shooter or other gun enthusiast, the reaction you often get is, "Why would anyone buy a gun that doesn't fire?" Actually, there are a number of reasons why a non-firing replica gun makes more sense than one that fires for a lot of people. Here are four of them. Elegant Sidearms of the Old West - Wild Bill's Engraved Navy Colts James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock's favorite sidearms were a pair of elegantly engraved, ivory-handled 1851 Navy Colt cap and ball .36 caliber revolvers. The Duel That Changed American History The most famous duel fought on American soil was undoubtedly that between sitting Vice President Aaron Burr and Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. It was a duel that very likely changed the course of American history. Badges That Won The West - Pony Express Messenger Badge Nothing about the Old West has captured our imaginations like the lone Pony Express messenger galloping across the frontier carrying a mail pouch he would defend with his life. The Pony Express Messenger Badge is an enduring symbol of a glorious, uniquely American enterprise that operated only eighteen months, between April 1860 and October 1861. 12 "Easy Steps" To Loading and Firing A Flintlock Rifle A skilled flintlock rifleman could get off three shots in a minute. That's twenty seconds to reload and fire the next round. But a platoon of cavalry rushing at that rifleman on horseback, or an army of infantry bearing down on him at a dead run could cover a lot of ground while he was going through the laborious, twelve-step process to reload and fire his flintlock musket. How did they do it! Badges That Won The West -- Texas Ranger's Badge The Texas Ranger badge is the emblem for a proud tradition of service that stretches back over a century. Rugged frontier Indian fighters, revolutionaries, detectives and lawmen-- the Texas Rangers are the stuff of Western Legend. Badges That Won The West -- Deadwood Marshal's Badge Wild Bill Hickcock, Calamity Jane and many other colorful characters walked the streets of Deadwood, South Dakota in its early days, but there was little evidence of law, much less order in the rowdy mining camp. Badges That Won The West - Dodge City Marshal's Badge Dodge City Badges were worn by Bat Masterson (county sheriff), his brother, Ed Masterson, (a City Marshall killed in the line of duty) and Wyatt Earp (also a City Marshal), among others. It was their job to impose order on this wild, western Kansas cowtown where railroad workers, buffalo hunters, soldiers from Ft. Dodge and cowhands came to drink, carouse and fight. Badges That Won The West -- Lincoln County Sheriff's Badge The Lincoln County Sheriff's badge recalls the violent 1870s, when a range war erupted between several ranchers and a trio of corrupt businessmen in the town of Lincoln. The most famous participant in the conflict was William Henry McCarty, a.k.a. William H. Bonney, better known as "Billy the Kid", though most of his fame resulted from his role in the Lincoln County War. Badges That Won The West -- Tombstone Marshal's Badge The Tombstone, Arizona U.S. Marshal's Badge recalls the mining town of Tombstone, with its storied Boot Hill Cemetery and Gunfight at the OK Corral. Even though history records several gunfights with more combatants and a much higher body count, the OK Corral shoot-out is acknowledged by historians to be the most famous gunfight in the history of the American West.
