Lonesome Dove Walker .44

The Lonesome Dove Walker .44 features a 9" barrel in a charcoal blue finish, a white engraved cylinder, and case-color hardened finish on the frame and hammer. The trigger guard and grip frame are in brass, with a steel backstrap, and finely figured walnut grips sporting a cartouche. The guns are authentically marked, one with "Capt. Augustus McCrae, Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion" down the backstrap and his Texas Ranger Division "E Company No. 120" on the left side of the frame and barrel, and the other with "Capt. Woodrow F. Call, Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion" and "E Company No. 119."

By Will Dabbs, MD

Taylor’s and Company has built a well-deserved reputation for offering top-quality Western-themed firearms at reasonable prices. Their guns are the spitting image of their vintage counterparts while being built using modern materials and production techniques. With the recent explosion of interest in the SASS (Single Action Shooting Society), cowboy action shooting, and Old West reenacting, the market for vintage firearms has never been stronger. Taylor’s newest offering is the 1875 Outlaw in 9mm Parabellum.

Trifecta Of .32-20s

By Mike "Duke" Venturino

A Fine And Pleasant Madness

Ever gotten off on the wrong foot with someone? This cliché can be attributed to me and the .32-20 cartridge. First it started in 1972 with a K-Frame S&W M&P. I bought it used for $75 — first shots revealed it only tumbled bullets because its barrel was ringed.
