STI Texican
Notes: For some
time, the Texican was thought to be the firearms equivalent of vaporware, but in
2008, it was introduced to the market.
The Texican is a high-quality replica of an Old West-type single-action
revolver (of no particular make or model), with a color-case hardened finish on
its chrome-moly steel frame; the Texican is built completely out of forgings out
of bar stock, and tolerances are very tight -- at the micron level at some
points. The grip is polymer, but
designed to look like checkered black-charred wood.
The 5.5-inch barrel is oc Chrome-Moly 4140 steel, designed specifically
for the Texican by Green Mountain Barrels.
The Texican was designed with SASS (Single-Action Shooting Society)
competition in mind, and is therefore at home firing both blackpowder and modern
propellant cartridges. The Texican
is loaded old-style, through a loading gate instead of a swing-out cylinder.

MIL Thunder Five
Notes: This is a
large-caliber revolver designed to fire rifle and shotgun shells.
As such, the cylinder is huge, and the revolver itself is very large,
though the barrel is very at short 2 inches.
The Thunder Five may fire all of the cartridges listed; separate
revolvers are not made for each caliber.

US Firearms Buntline Special
Notes: Revolvers
such as the original Buntline Special were somewhat common, with some 28,000
being built. The US Firearms
version is a close copy of that revolver, complete with the massive barrel of up
to 18 inches, and is meticulously faithful to the original, the primary
differences being manufacturing methods.
The Buntline Special has a nickel-plated wire-frame detachable stock to
convert it into a sort of carbine.
(It should be noted that by US law, the shoulder stock cannot be attached to a
Buntline Special with a barrel of less than 16 inches; however, the stock will
fit on Buntline Specials with shorter barrels.)
The rear sight is a flip-up type, and the front sight is made from nickel
silver and is of the blade type.
The revolver has a vent hole on the top strap, designed on the original Buntline
Special to avoid the spraying of lead fragments, powder, and gas from the
cylinder gap. (It isnt
particularly effective in that respect, but it was included on the US Firearms
version for authenticity.)

US Firearms Frontier Six Shooter
Notes: This is
sort of a general replica of various revolvers of this type found on the western
frontiers of the US in the 1880s.
It uses the so-called Blackpowder frame, which is actually more a method of
securing the cylinder to the frame instead of what sort of propellant may be
used in the revolver. The
blackpowder frame is, however, more authentic in replica terms.
It is also a single-action weapon for the same reason.
The sights are a copy of the simple sights of the period, with a
trough-type rear sight on the top strap and a simple, slim blade on the front.
The metalwork of the revolver has a case-hardened finish (though it is
not actually case-hardened, being manufactured with more modern methods).
The ejector rod is of the bullseye type, short and thick, almost a
button. However, the Frontier Six
Shooter is designed with modern-scale tolerances and has hard rubber grips.
It is fairly heavy, and this mitigates barrel climb somewhat.

Notes: The Texas
Ranger captain Samuel H. Walker and Samuel Colt, originator of the Colt Firearms
company, designed the Walker Dragoon.
The Dragoon was one of the most powerful handguns of its time.
The Dragoon was a large weapon at nearly 5 pounds, with a barrel length
of 9 inches and an overall length of 16 inches.
Despite its size the Dragoon turned out to be well liked by the troops
and served throughout the Mexican War.
A detachable stock can be added to the Walker Dragoon to create a light
carbine. As with almost all such
weapons, most of them in 2003 are modern replicas.
