Old, classic firearms like this that will never ever go out of style always amaze me. I can't think of any other product off the top of my head that is still manufactured to this day, by the same company, 100+ years later, that is essentially identical to what it was in 1887 and still you can buy one in 2017. Firearms are amazing and people who can't appreciate that are really missing out.

There were a couple of other .44 cartridges in the old west that were fairly popular, though nowhere as popular as the .44-40/WCF. The most popular of these was undoubtedly the direct ancestor of the .44 Special that you mentioned in either 1902 or 1905, can't remember which. The parent cartridge was the .44 Russian which dates back to 1869, so four years before the Winchester. There were also some lesser known .44 cartridges were a rimfire .44 used in the Henry's, there was also a .44 Center Fire cartridge used in conversions of Henry Rifles, as well as a .44 Colt cartridge that was used in certain early Colt cartridge conversions. And now that I've typed all this, I see that you already addressed this. Well done sir.

I couldn't confirm it so I didn't buy them but there's just a charm to it. Not to mention, there's undoubtedly something to be said about things manufactured even as late as the 60's-70's. Things just seemed built to last before plastic became king of everything from cars, to the f----ng ocean.

For outlaws and lawmen both, the convenience of being able to carry both pistol and rifle chambered for the same 44-40 round was huge. Jesse James carried his Winchester and his Smith and Wesson 44-40 combo. Brother Frank carried his Winchester in tandem with his Remington model 1875 chambered in 44-40. Colt had the Frontier Six Shooter in 44-40. For "long riders" the ability to use one caliber of ammunition was a miracle of technology.

Since you mentioned "experts" I thought it may be necessary to describe the term. An "ex" is a "has-been" and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure. Therefore, an expert is a has-been drip under pressure. I have never heard of a '94 Winchester chambered in handgun length cartridges. It was made for the .30/30 and the .32 Winchester Special. The Marlin 336 competition for it also came in the rimless .35 Remington. My M336 is chambered for .219 Zipper, which I also believe was available in the M94. Some time ago, during the last century, I bought an Italian made copy of the 1873 Colt. The only ammo I could find for it then was made by Winchester and it's recoil was very light. I thought they were loading it down because of the cast iron frame guns that are still around. I checked out the loading manuals to see what black powder loads were appropriate for the .45 Long Colt, loaded some up and went to the range. Besides the fact that I had to wait until the smoke cleared to see what I hit, I noticed that the noise and the recoil were greater than the factory loads. So I assumed that the factory loads were drastically underloaded, and that mild smokeless handloads may be safe in older revolvers. But BE CAREFUL. Now that I have a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible, I have found that hotter jacketed hollow point factory rounds are available. I have a couple of changes in mind for my old clone. Since the 1851, 1860, 1861 & 1873 have a lot of parts that are interchangeable, the longer 1860 grip assembly would help to give me something to hold on to. The other change involves adding an adjustable rear sight. I have seen Dixie Gun Works sells a sight that dovetails into the frame, and S&W K-Frame sights have also been put on SAA's (I think Elmer Keith did that.) Since I am not yet that experienced with my mini mill, that I think that I will start with the grip project.

can i ask if you think it wouldn't be more patriotic to accept your fellow americans and to respect their liberty to possess different, and in some cases radically different, opinions than your own? rather than arguing with people or "exposing" them?

Man..... I feel privileged just getting to watch you fire that 1887 Colt.... beautiful pistol, congrats, and I love that you SHOOT IT... I have a shop where I work on guns as a side job. Last summer I had two different people bring in 2 vintage 1873 Winchesters. One I narrowed down th date between 1873 and 1878, it was simply stamped as 'Cal.44' so the 38-40 hadn't come out yet, which was in 1878, the other was a 38-40 in excellent condition, not missing sights or dust cover, nothing. Most all finish in tact, little rust... manufacturer date was 1885 on it. Was an honor to get to take them down and clean them. I loved every minuet of it, and took tons of pictures. I love the history of them, I catch myself looking at them, wondering who was the last person to turn the screws inside, how were they made back then, who all had owned them.... wish those old west guns that have survived to present day could talk... Love your videos hickok45
