Cimarron Wyatt Earp Buntline Special

As indicated in the intro I added, this video disappeared from the "library" somehow. KZbin is trying to figure out what happened. Anyway, here it is again. Hope this doesn't happen much, because generally with over 2,000 videos posted, we'd never know. A loyal viewer noticed that this video was gone and asked me about it.

Yep, this video was posted back in July; however, it disappeared somehow. KZbin is looking into it and trying to figure out what happened. Nothing controversial about the video, so I'll reserve my paranoia for other more suspicious issues out there. Hard to figure, though. If you post videos and such, you know that deleting a video is a three or four step process, so it's not like you can accidentally touch the wrong key and delete a video, as we've all probably done with a piece of text in a word processing document. Thankfully, a loyal viewer notified me that he could not find it; otherwise, videos could possibly disappear without our maybe ever knowing it.

The Google Goons strike again. Several of my videos are not visible from my channel page. Those videos still exist, they have not been deleted, they just are not visible when someone visits the channel videos page. Unless they resort the display from oldest to newest, then they show up, but the order may be scrambled. This seems to be happening to both gun channels and conservative political channels. Given Google track record, it`s hard to believe it`s not intentional.

Thanks for re-posting this. I took my three sons and uncle to see Tombstone, while vacationing in Saint Augustine, Fl. I’ll never forget the look on my uncle’s face, at the end of the movie when I told him he was 13 years old when Wyatt Earp died. A good memory for me. I have watched Tombstone countless times. Americana! I watched the Wyatt Earp series with Hugh O’Brien as a kid.

There was another infamous individual from the days of the Wild West, who was well known for his specialty revolver, although he has been given short shrift by the historians. He was an early organised crime figure named Megalito Luvless, his special-order short barrelled revolver was known as a runtline special. The gun became popular for self defense in later generations, but under a different name - the snub-nose. Maybe the buntline was named after this revolver?

Nice gun. Doc Holiday used a pair of short-barreled matching revolvers. He used a short-barreled revolver mostly for pulling faster.

[@grassroot011]

There's an order someone came up with that was written by Earp to Colts factory. It stated he wanted it to have a barrel that came up even to the ejecting rod. Gun to have Gutta Percha grips, meaning hard rubber. So that would put the barrel length at 4-3/4" long. Much easier to get out of the holster. as he said, take your time in a hurry.

[@grizzlyblackpowder1960]

I own that buntline special Wyatt Earp model. It's cool. Sights are good, and it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot. There is record of people(mostly Buffalo hunters and plainsmen) ordering longer than 7 inch barrels. One of the most famous is a 16 inch barrel saa with a saddle holster and an attachable buttstock. That being said the Wyatt Earp myth seems to vome from a "long barrel colt" given as a gift to Wyatt for target shooting. I put "long barrel colt" in quotes because that was what his wife said about a gun he received as a gift that he ended up storing away and never carried. But thats the only record of him owning a "buntline". And it would seem that he was given it sometime after the events at tombstone, as she spoke as if she was there when he received it. They obviously weren't that popular with gunfighters, but if you wanna hit a target at 100 yards it's not a bad choice. I prefer a 7 inch barrel personally, though I own a modified 4 inch barrel reproduction for fast draw with wax bullets and such. 7 inch just feels right when drawing and shooting.

[@deanhoward4128]

I have the Taylor/ Uberti 1873 Cattlemen .45colt & it has a51/2 barrel with color case frame & the gun is so nice, that I won't let my retired law man brother touch it! Or my deputy Sheriff nephew shoot it either! It's one of my prized possessions! I do shoot it periodically! But I am the only one that shoots it! It is accurate for a period revolver! My Ruger Blackhawk with adjustable sights is more accurate! So I shoot the 1873 for personal fun. I hunt & on occasions will let another person shoot the big Ruger! But the Uberti, is just too nice to let others scuff it up! I've had the Ruger for 41 years & recently got it re-blued & got the fancy checkered rose wood grips & haven't let my brothers shoot it! Not after the fiasco my brother caused when I first bought the Ruger; he asked if he could look at it & I said yes, my dad & I stepped out on the porch,he had an electrical problem we were working on & while we were outside... I had told my brother the revolver was loaded....& I thought since he was a State Police officer that he knew about Ruger revolvers; apparently he did not know it was safe to carry all 6 rounds in a Blackhawk with a transfer bar! While dad & I were outside; we heard a loud bang!! My know it all police officer brother... kicked out 5 live rounds & took aim at a photo of a deer on the calendar which was hanging on the side of my mother's new refrigerator! He aimed,cocked the hammer & squeezed the trigger! That was the bang we heard! Dad & I ran inside to see if everyone was OK? My brother just stood there with the revolver in a Weaver stance that he learned in police academy! My mother came into the kitchen & got really upset, because my brother had " killed" her new refrigerator! Then she got mad at me for letting him handle the gun! I told her,that I told my cop brother that the gun was loaded & dad backed me up! But the fun part was, I retrieved the big 250grain lead slug,which had missed all the" vital organ components " of the refrigerator & dad took some " bondo" & spray painted over the hole..and that refrigerator worked for another 15 years!... but I had to promise my mom,that I would never let my police man brother shoot that Ruger again! Mom & dad are now passed on & my brother has his own Ruger Blackhawk in .357 & is semi retired; but his son is a deputy Sheriff & so I don't let him shoot my Blackhawk either!

I'm sure you have heard of it being a teacher. We would also talk about shooting andy dad and I got a few teachers to go fish a tournament with us in separate boats. My dad went to school with a few of my teachers. It was great times. You make me want to buy a old CVA black powder rifle or pistol kit to assemble and stain myself.

I realize this video is alittle older. But figured I'd comment all the same. I can completely understand the historical inaccuracies. But just like when the novels were written. It really doesn't matter much at all. The idea of the stories and the feeling they give people can often matter far more. For alot of people Wyatt Earp will always be Mr Russell Slapping a poser in a saloon. At the end of the day that's fine. Its still a very cool gun. Many guns are not practical at all. Some in actual real stories. Have loved your videos since way back. Thank you for what you do.

[@stevewilliams7852]

In your July posting I pointed out that the buntline was made to be used with a detachable stock. That would classify it as an SBR. My Grandfather was a gunsmith and invented a way to convert a single action into a semi auto and wrote a novel about an old west gunsmith that knew his secret conversion and gave one to an old time lawman. The outlaws would count his shots and rush him when they thought he was empty. To their surprise his gun never ran dry.

[@BrockNessMonster1991]

I don’t understand, with a cylinder of only six rounds how would his gun never run dry?

[@stevewilliams7852]

@@BrockNessMonster1991 He first removed the cover from the loading port on the right side of the cylinder and made it the ejection port. Then ground a loading port on the left side of the cylinder. He also channeled the escaping gas from between the cylinder and the barrel to the ejection port to eject the spent bullet. As long as you were loading while firing you won't run dry.

Ned Buntline, a "dime novelist" of less literary stature than folks like F. Scott Fitzgerald, bragged to the world that he had given a 12-inch barreled Colt SAA to Wyatt Earp. There is no evidence that Wyatt Earp ever carried it, or even possessed it. I think that some people have written that Colt sold three of them to Mr. Buntline, but where these revolvers wound up nobody knows.

Specifically, the latch type he and Harold Croft devised for Elmer's Pattern #5 Colt ?
