As many here may know, I'm not very big on Wheel guns. I prefer semi-auto pistols for the capacity in re HD/SD scenarios. I do own a SW Model 10, given to me by my Uncle. That said, I do acknowledge that revolvers have their place in our community and they are well liked. So I should learn to get used to them, if only for sport/skill purposes.
The revolver that has fascinated me over time is the Colt SAA or "Peacemaker," .45acp. For my Miami Vice brethren here, Willie Nelson, playing an old, retired "Texas Ranger" in the "El Viejo" episode pawned one of his Colt Peacemakers
And here's the opening of that episode. Note that while it appears in Season 3, ep. 7, it must have been broadcast "out of order," because, by this time, they had already blown up he Daytona Spider and replaced it with the White Testarossa.
And the last "gunfight" scene where Willie uses his remaining Peacemaker and dies after helping Crocket stop the BGs... Not sure if the sound effects are accurate in re: the Peacemaker, but it is rather interesting.
When I went onto Gunbroker to look up the SAA or Peacemaker, I got a ton of different responses, barrel lengths, etc. I wasn't sure what was what. Therefore, I ask those of you who own a Peacemaker, what you consider to be the best model. I'll use the gun featured in the Miami Vice episode as the "canonical standard." If you have pics, please post. I'd like to see what you have. I have to figure that's one of the better wheel guns on which to learn how to shoot wheel guns. Don't think I'd want a SW 500 class gun at this point.
If ya got a Peacemaker, show it here.... Thanks much.
And, here's a bit more Willie.....
