When a kid (yea, I was young oncest).  One of my favorite memories was riding The Calico Railroad at Knotts Berry Farm in California.  A replica of the Denver and Rio Grand Railroad.

Don’t shoot black powder but do have some black rifles…oops wrong shooting sport. When I want to win or be as competitive as possible I shoot my Marlin 1894 CL in 45colt, when I don’t care i shoot any of my other cas rifles. My go to sg is my M24 Marlin pump but I like my M30 20 ga too. For WB I run a M12 riot. Being the progressive club that we are my favorite handgun setup is a Smith or Colt DA in a crossdraw with a 1911 in a flap strongside [ala Rico Fardan] but a pair of DA Smiths, Colts or Webleys work too. My default is a pair of 4.5 inch Vaqueros. Whenever I do my Tim Strawn impression I carry my nickel 1911 and a birdshead Ruger as they match my silver nose.

Thank you for a fine review and sharing the history of the gun itself.

An attempted assassination was made on President Franklin Roosevelt in Miami, Florida, on the evening of Feb. 15, 1933.
Italian immigrant Giuseppe Zangara approached and fired five shots intended for the president.
 Zangara missed his target and hit mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago and four bystanders instead. 
The mayor died of his wounds 19 days later.
Zangara used a five-shot .32 caliber United States Revolver Company pistol.

My grandfather, grandmother, and my Mom & Dad were in attendance as Roosevelt just had given a short speech. Two of bystanders were near my folks.

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel attended a peace rally in Tel Aviv’s Kings Square on Nov. 4, 1995.
 Yigal Amir, a young far-right Israeli Jew shot Rabin twice, once in the arm and once in the back. Rabin died hours later in a nearby hospital.
Amir used a Beretta 84F semi-automatic pistol loaded with a mix of regular and hollow point bullets.
 Amir claimed that the prime minister wanted “to give our country to the Arabs.”

I just clicked on your link in the previous post, and then copied the URL at the top of the video.  That address did have .com in it.

Cool gun, too, thanks!  Dark History!  I'd say so!!  :o

Thanks Abilene. Yeah, the history on this one is a little dark but family history nonetheless.  ;)

New episode out now on the Hopkins and Allen Triple Action Top Break Revolver. This one particular has somewhat of a dark past.
