Tuolumne Lawman 6127

I will have these at the HighSierra Shootout at Railroad Flat for FTF sale. They come with about 500 Starline .38 Colt brass, and 150 grain HBRN bullets.

The big test for these will be the High Sierra shoot Out annual match at Railroad FlatMemorial Day weekend. We will see how they perform for 120 rounds.

I actually thought about getting 44-40s to go with my 1860 Henry. I already pretend that the 44-40s are 44 Henry, so I could pretend that I have a first model american in .44 Henry too.

I have five bottles of APP. When I run out of Trail Boss, Ill switch to it for my 44 Russian and 44-40 for the Henry. I am getting to the bottom of a 5 pound jug of TB.

I absolutely love the .44 Russian cartridge! When I had a pair of 1872 Open Tops in .44 Special/Colt/Russian I shot 44 Russia.

Actually, it is Oklahoma Gun Leather, a division of Don Hume holsters. They are their "deluxe California Slim Jims, and run about $45 each! They fit everything from Schofield, aAmericans, Vaqueros, Colt, Open tops.!

So far, I am loving them. I am using them at an annual match in May. That will ring them out and see if any bugs. While I have around 500 rounds of 200 grain .44 Colt ammo for my Dave Anderson (Pre0 AFF) 1860 Type I Richards conversions, it seemed like blasphemy to shoot anything other than .44 Russian in them. I still had about 700 rounds of .44 Russian brass from when I had an orignal No. 3 Russian and later a pair of Open Tops in .44 that I shot Russian through. I got the .44 Russian/.44 Special 246 grain conical round nose bullets from bear Creek and loaded up about 600 rounds. So far, I've shot about 50 rounds through each with no problems. I have been researching the American for a pair of Cowboy Chronicle articles on Cimarron's American. Part One, the history is already in Sjinny's hands to publish in the next Chronicle. I am working on part two, about Cimarrons guns themselves, as we speak. Most do not know that Wyatt Earp actually used a No. 3 American Model, 8" barreled Smith & Wesson in the Gunfight at the OK Corral. There were many famous Westerners who liked the Americans: John Westley Hardin, Dallas SToudenmire, Texas Jack OMuhondru, Buffalo Bill Codt, Wyatt Earp, etc.

Price reduced. $950 for the pair.

I have been shooting open tops for the last few years (I have 6, pairs in 3 calibers) so I have forsaken Top breaks. Well, I work part time in a local gun shop, and guess what came in? A Uberti No. 3, 1st Model "American" 5" top break in .44 Spcl/Russian! It had been back ordered several years ago, apparently, but there is no longer any record of who ordered it, nor was there a deposit paid. Boss knew I like cowboy guns, and offered it to me, to work off with shifts! I said "hell yes!". I liked it so much, I contacted Cimarron and arranged to get an 8" in the same caliber. I ow have a pair. They go great with my 1860 Henry and hammered double. I used them at a local match last week end and loved them. I am loading a 246 grain, conical round nose lead .44 Russian bullets over 5.3 grains of Unique in a Starline .44 Russian case. Pretty much dead on at 7 yards.
