Re: S&W Model 3
Thanks for that. Interesting presentation, especially the speculation that several of the Earps carried the large-frame S&W top break revolvers rather than the iconic Colts.
Know your audience. Don't try to sell a Prius at a Monster Truck Rally.

Re: S&W Model 3
Glad someone liked that. Hope others see it. It's just a shorty short...
I enjoy those old stories ... Don't know that much about the Players and what they were slinging... But it's fun to think about.
I am more into WWII history. The LGS in Philly has a bunch of WWII Lugers... STAMPED... Real dealsGod Bless America and pass the ammunition!

Re: S&W Model 3
The S&W #3 is a bit slower on the draw and to fire than a Colt due to the different geometry of the hammer and grip shape, however reloading is faster than even a modern swing our cylinder gun.
It is very accurate though.
Without burning through the bandwidth, which of the #3 did the Earps supposedly use? The American model, Schofield or Russian variants?

Re: S&W Model 3
Funny that you posted this, I've been really researching these lately. I'm probably going to get either a repro of a SAA or a Schofield in the near future.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I have a Russian Model repo made by Uberti. I love it, but I'll be the first to say it is not everyone's cup of tea.
A good friend of mine bought one of the S&W custom shop Schofield 2000 models when it was being made. All I can say is WOW!
