When we think of the guns of the old west, most people have the Hollywood vision of Marshal Dillon standing across a dusty street ready to draw his Peacemaker with lightning fast precision and take down the desperado or John Wayne, reigns clenched in his teeth, firing his six shooter. And even though our knowledge of the west and its firearms has grown, the average person still only knows the guns that they see on Saturday afternoon westerns. Guns of the West takes you on a historic journey of discovery, cataloging the amazing firearms of the real old west.

Description: From 1803 to 1899, Guns of the West will bring you the history of firearms that made the West famous, guns you may never have heard of, and the downright strange weapons of our past. Host Tino Luciano will present several firearms a week, give their history, and provide commentary during a re-enactment showcasing historic moments of the firearms presented, while also taking us to the range to show what these firearms can really do!
