history

The 'Henry' weighed in at almost 9½lbs, and would have cost you $42.00, with ammunition a further $10.00 per thousand rounds. Ordnance tests showed the Henry bullet imbedding itself 5" into a wood target at 400 yards..

Known as 'the gun that won the west'. Because of the brass frame, the Plains Indians called it 'Yellow Boy'.

The 'Navy Colt' had the ability for the user to change the entire 'cylinder' rather than re-load chamber by chamber.. the time saved could be just enough to save your life during battle..

Also known as the 'Peacemaker'.
