A few weeks ago I helped to host a writers conference in Central Texas. These people wrote everything fron science fiction to romance. The idea of the meeting was to get them more information on the firearms of the various time periods. This time we concetrated on the early west.
I brought part of my small collection and my friend supplied part of his. After the presentation we went to the range (aka the back yard) for a little trigger time. Would you like to guess the more popular weapon?

That's a good idea. Looks like a great meeting.
