Our research library contains many firearms related books and we try to
place the proper firearm in the hands of actual people or appropriate guns
for fictional characters. For instance, historical persons like Wyatt Earp,
Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill, Billy the Kid, Jesse and Frank James or any other
actual person will use the same type of gun that historians have documented
they used. The actor will be trained in the careful use of each firearm.

If the film is set in 1880, he will not use an 1892 Winchester or in 1865,
he'll not have an 1873 Colt. The gun business during the industrial age was
similar to the computer business of today. What's state of the art in one
year was obsolete the next. What Jesse James carried in 1870 he did not
have in 1880.

advantage over other companies who specialize in more modern armament
for their bread and butter.

Our armorer has over 35 years of experience as a gunsmith specializing in
19th Century firearms. If a gun breaks, as they sometimes do, he can fix
it. We pride ourselves in the hundreds of shows we've participated in to
have little or no down time.

Our blanks are custom made by 4 different manufacturers to our
specifications. We like smoke and flash but we're light on the noise.
We don't like to scare horses, women or sound men, but want to give the
proper effect of what 19th Century firearms produced.

| Our dummy rounds are made for the individual firearm so our shooting irons will have the appropriate cartridges. Nothing is more irritating to a knowledgeable person than seeing a character with a .44-40 rifle wearing a bandolier sporting 7mm rifle rounds. Too many viewers are stuck on the Frito bandits. |
