Lots of debate about Doc's use of the term "Huckleberry" in the film. Here's some interesting theories about that. Based on the way he says it and the context in which he says it, the last explanation in this article seems most plausible to me, but who knows! Decide for yourself: texashillcountry.com/truth-meaning-doc-holliday-huckleberry/

Tombstone was way ahead of its time. They figured out how to shoot 3 shots from a double barrel and 10 from a 6 shooter. Further adding to Earp's legendary status.

Are revolvers the most reliable hand gun?? My grandfather fought in WW2, he was an army Military Policeman and Commando I think, anyway he captured a German soldier and was marching him back through the lines when an American Colonel? took out his pearl handled Colt 45 and shot the prisoner dead. My grandfather asked him "what he was doing, that man was my prisoner" and the Colonel said "hey buddy, there's a round in here for you!" I've never forgotten that story. Every time I hear the word Colt I think of that story. War makes people do terrible things. Love your content Hickock....

I wish Uberti would have design a good double-action for Cimarron, not necessarily a direct copy of 1877(don’t want a fragility)but do a new modernized one. This would definitely be my dress gun if they done that. A 4-4.5 lb sa pull, a 11 lb da smooth transition pull, modern steel for modern ammunition. Personally I’d like 4.5” barrel 44-40 or a 45 colt.

You can still have real ivory grips made assuming that you can find the ivory. My father was a professional grip maker up until just a few years ago when he had several strokes. For many years he bought ivory tusks from estate collections all over the US. These days, though, the supply is mostly exhausted and due to that, there aren’t many people left that can still carve them.

It`s huckle bearer because the handles on a casket are called huckles. I`m your huckle bearer means I`m going to help carry your casket.

Just picked up one of these from Bud's and it fits in perfectly with my other two nickel engraved Cimmaron peacemakers, the 7 1/2" Teddy Roosevelt Roughrider model and the 5 1/2" Texas Ranger model. Great firearms and lots of history! Great video and some mighty fine shooting!

SAA are the best, love carrying mine as CC, that and my Walther are in rotation.

A huckle bearer is another name for pallbearer, a person carrying a coffin. Doc Holliday said “I'm your huckle bearer". Sounded like huckleberry instead, and the line stuck.

Excellent fence joke John.

im not to personally in favor of how westerns/classics "CUT" re-loading scenes out of movies...in reality those are the most crucial moments in a gun fight which is RARELY captured. Or watching "gunslingers" that carry multiple firearms...toss/holster a gun as its emptied to draw another gun. In reality the eras greatest gunslingers/marksmen all had their SOP for re-loading/switching to another loaded firearm and i like seeing these "actions" play out in a scene. To add to the suspense/action. VS some guy just unloading the same revolvers on a constant basis.

I have a nickel plated Pistolero chambered in .357. Very nice gun. The only gripe I have with it is the edges of the trigger are a bit sharp and make your finger sore after a while. I had to smooth out the corners with a file. Other than that minor, easily correctable issue, it's a great gun.
