With the reins in his teeth, his Colt Single Action in his left hand, and twirling his Model 1892 in his right hand, Rooster takes on the whole Ned Pepper gang successfully. Not very likely to happen in real life but it certainly made a great movie scene. 44-40 Winchester Model ’92 would chatter nearly as fast as a machine gun in the hands of Chuck Connors’ portrayal of Lucas McCain, The Rifleman, in the 1950s TV series; and it was cut down to handgun size, almost, and used by Steve McQueen as Josh Randall in Wanted Dead Or Alive.
38/44 Outdoorsman in excellent condition and at a most reasonable price. It left the gun shop with me along with my first single action Smith & Wesson, a Model #3 Russian dated 1874. The finish was mostly gone, but the barrel was in good shape and it locked up and functioned very well, certainly enough to allow it to be safely shot – with black powder loads only, of course. The mating of the top-break locking parts was a trifle loose, but my gunsmith Glen Kyser (now plying his excellent gunsmithing skills at Buckhorn Gun Shop) did a little welding and filing and it is now as tight as it was when it left the factory more than 125 years ago.
Diamond Dot did buy it and it is in shooting condition. It is definitely better than three minute of man and we will talk about it also in the frontier cartridge reloading chapter. 44 Russian nickelplated with pearl stocks; condition is excellent plus. T he American military was not the only group interested in the Smith & Wesson American. Two major events occurred in 1870 that would forever affect the future of Smith & Wesson. 357 Magnum prior to World War II, the Smith in Smith & Wesson was gone from the company.
