BP weapons and percussion revolvers in shows and movies

[Captainkirk]

Just an interesting note. In the movie- The Outlaw Josey Wales,  in the scene where Terrell fires a 60 army at Jamie, notice where the revolver is fired from in relation to Fletchers frggin head?!  He does nt  even flinch!  Can you imagine having someone fire a blackpowder .44 revolver right next to your melon like that?!

That's because the Walker was chambered in .38 Sp. shooting stage blanks with squib loads.

O ooo K.  Seems folks here get kinda confused with what Im  say n  and ask n .

Anyway, to you above that recommended the movie- The Homesman,  thanks!!   I got it in the mail and am watching it.  A bunch of guys were after Tommy L. Jones charachter with muskets and at least one, what looked like a Hawken pistol.

1851 Navy , ,   thanks again!  Good movie.  I like it.

Found a fun show- Larry McMurtry s   Dead Man s  Walk.  A mini series from the 90 s.

Set in Texas and Mexico in 1842 (as it states)  Big Foot Wallace s  TX Rangers are duking it out with the Indians and , , the Mexicans?  Lot of old guns.  This Ranger group is outfitted with flintlock and percussion pistols, rifles/muskets. including Pattersons , , and at least one Walker. ,  in 1842?  Oh well.

 , ,   also in that show, this guy has 2 pearl handled Walkers he uses a    l o  t  !   ,  AND!,  this one guy has a ,  Walker  rifle!  You know, how the Paterson rifles were, well, it is a Walker rifle!!

A pearl-handled one-piece grip? That would be something to see made. On a Remmy or R&S I could see it, but...oh well. That's Hollyweird. And plastics.

[Krylandalian]

Yeah, generically speaking, pearl.  Back in the day, more like bone.

What about the Walker carbine job?!?  Too much!

[Krylandalian]

BTW,  the photo here in the forum with the 51 Navy and the Dragoon, cased, they look to have ivory, bone , ,or?

Are you talking about the Colt ring lever rifle? That came before the Paterson. And are you referring to the Walker with a shoulder stock or a Colt revolving rifle?

[Krylandalian]

This thing looked like a Walker with a rifle stock and a 22 in barrel.  Maybe you can see a clip of it on YouTube.  The show is called- Dead Mans Walk.

[Krylandalian]

Anyone ever see a Lematt ?,  You know, the one with the , ,  8 shot?, cyllinder and the 20 guage additional barrel?, in a movie or show?

In The Hateful Eight, a bad dude hides an ivory handled small revolver underneath a table (hangs it on a nail?)  Later a camera angle shows a Ivory handled Walker under a table in which another bad dude takes in trying to dispatch someone.  Doesn t  go well for him though. 

So, it looks like a ivory handled derringer gained about 4 lbs.

9 shot. The Quick and the dead, Last Stand at saber river. Cold mountain and some others and in the TV show Johnny Ringo, Johnny carried one but I think it was a mock up, seems like I remember him loading it like a break top S&W.

[Krylandalian]

Thanks.  I ll  watch for the Le Matts.

Just found a mini series Called- Comanche Moon.  It s  a run on the Lonsome Dove series.  It takes place   b e f o r e   the original Lonesome Dove show.  Pretty cool.  Val Killmers Charachter is great!  Crazy dude.

Anyway, lot of good Walker and other Colt  'Percussionists'  in action!

Jame s A.  Michener s  Texas-  I was gett n  all het up cause I wasn t  see n  Pattersons.  Low and behold!  Ricky Schroeder come s  along with a brace of m !  He has them in belt holsters. He draws one to catch someone. As it goes south, he takes m  both and gets to ablaz n!  Gets on his horse and goes Josey Wales!!!   G r e a t !  Great! Just great!

Watched Texas Rising  mini series.  All set in 1836 it seems.  I was hoping the Paterson would appear.  Nooooooop!

Oh well.
