What do the French and Indian War (1754-63), the American Revolution (1775-81), the War of 1812 (1812-15), the Texas Revolution (1835-36), and the Mexican War (1846-48) all have in common? It’s that the single shot, muzzleloading musket was the mainstay frontline firearm used by soldiers throughout those conflicts.
Shooter have drawers of gear: guns, holsters, optics, flashlights, knives… it never ends. I have holster for guns I sold years ago! Turn that gear into gift cards for new gear you want.
Imagine a scene out of the Old West; two men slowly walking towards each other from a distance, guns tied down low, spurs jingling. Tumble weeds blowing down the street. Shutters slamming shut as nervous town people hunker down and stay out of sight.
I LOVE a good story, and have long been an avid reader, but I enjoy a good movie as well. As to the latter point, Hollywood has produced countless numbers of wonderful action, high drama movies, and firearms are quite often a big part of that action. At the end of the day, it all makes for excellent entertainment.
