Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Just went to Safeway to pick up some chili and chicken wings. Stopped by the magazine rack and spied a magazine I don't remember seeing before. It is titled Gunslingers Firearms of the Old West. Just flipping through the pages it looks like about 50% antiques and articles about the good old days and 50% reproductions. There is no volume or issue number so I don't know if this will be a continuing mag or a one-off special edition. At any rate, it is all cowboy guns and none of the black gun/1911 stuff that totally fills most other gun magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Amazon says it's a Single Issue Magazine. They're sold out. If this is the one I am thinking it is, It has an article on the NH state championship. I did not think there were any of these left. If it is cover your eyes because it has a picture of me in it. it does have some pctures of some the northeast regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 What is normal Grocery store price? You who have bought, is this magazine a $10.00 read? i know, each has their own opinion, but asking nevertheless. looks good, but if I buy one, probably will want all three....then one becomes a $30+ read. ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I've spent $10 on worse magazines. I like what I've read so far. I will say the Cap & Ball 101 article needs to be removed and written by someone who knows what the heck they are doing; for example there is one picture of him putting caps on with his thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Interesting article about holsters in Great find! I'll be in the lookout for it. Interesting article on holsters in this one. Only thing I find "wrong" is a detail on the website for that first holster shown. Yes, you go to www.gunfighter.com, but you need to click on "Trailrider Products" once you get there. I also found the article on the Sharps .50-70 Carbine interesting. Even after the cavalry was issued the M1873 Trapdoor Carbines in .45-70/.45-55, some units retained a few of the Sharps to arm their civilian employees of the QM Dept. who went to the field with the troops. Also, with a limitation of 3 rd per man per month of the .45-70 ammo, target practice and foraging could use the thousands of rounds of .50-70 ammo still in stock.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I paged through it and didn't think it was worth $10.00! Actually I'm not going to renew my subscription to GOTOW magazine either. It's just not worth the money. I want to support such a venue but can't justify the bucks!

Tecate Slam 99188 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Picked up a copy at the Providence, RI airport. When you are on an airplane for 3 plus hours anything short of a political magazine or a romance novel is worthy of the price. I'm just say'n! Merry Christmas Pardners!
