Sort of bittersweet for me to watch. I found one very similar at a gun show a decade or so back. I think the guy wanted $125 for it. Same deal it was still full length. I almost bought it with plans to cut it down like you did. I talked my self out of it. Still regret it. However If I had taken it home and it blew up I would have regretted that more I guess. As far as everyone complaining about people cutting the old guns down, it will continue until the price of the full length originals goes up or the price of replicas comes down. Currently if you want exposed hammers it is much cheaper to buy an old one and cut it down.

It looks like an 1878 Thunderer?

If you fire it, only use 2 1/2" shells. Unless someone had the chambers lengthened, that gun has 2 5/8" chambers. So, you won't want to fire 2 3/4" loads.

That is one prime star-gazer of a revolver!

The 1877 lock work was designed not to infringe on any existing patents, since Colt did not want to pay royalties. The Chamlot-Delvigne was a very rugged, robust and surprisingly simple double/single action design, among others, of era, that of course would require royalties. Colt themselves ACTIVELY pursued violations of their patents so obviously they'd get their own comeback if caught infringing on others. The resultant design was needlessly complex, fragile and prone to breakage, like yours. On another note, you refer to 'copies'. In early half of 20th century, a double action 'Colt-ish' revolver in .38 Special produced in Belgium, resembling the 1877, but with an 1873 grip. These were of moderate quality and occasionally can be found at gunshows, auctions, etc. Unlike the Colt, an appropriate gunsmith can keep them working. I have seen some 'customized' versions where a faux bird's head grip reminiscent of the 1877 used by some re-enactors.

What’s the point of owning a real gun if it doesn’t fire?

Where would he hold his blade?

You are mistaken about Doc not firing his 1877 during the film. He fires it 5 times when Ike opens up from the photo studio window and the final 6th round when he shoots the fellow at the end.

Awesome video. Just looking at that getup makes me want to slap on some spurs, put on my Hondo bandana and hit the saddle!!!

That is Awesome Pilgrim!!😮😃🤠❤💪🏜🐎😁😉👍

You’re doing a good job with your channel. Keep up the good work! Good luck with the new studio.

the birds head grip is the most unique part of the gun!👍

Where is the vest from?

At the OK Coral they gave the deadliest gun to the deadliest shooter

I dont know why someone has not made a modern version of this using modern double action technology

Kolser makes a non-firing replica in several finishes. It is the single action version rather than the double action. They make it in several different grip/finish combinations. I bought the Pearl grip/Nickle finish, but I should have got the Ivory grip instead. I wasn't real impressed with the nickle finish on mine, but if you don't look too close, or keep it in your waistcoat pocket, it looks ok. Ultimately, I will wind up buying a Uberti, I think. That way, I can actually shoot it! Thanks for the video. :)

I would love to have a 1877 Colt. For such a fragile revolver it was used by a lot of gunfighters.

Nice

Great video, great detail. Keep it up

YOU NEED TO WRITE A SCRIPT AND READ IT B-4 AND WHILE YOU 'RE TRYING' TO TALK !

Im ready to see the boots you ordered

Peter Sherayko's book, "Tombstone The Guns and Gear" shows a different hilt and guard design.

I have Grandpa's 12 double barrel that is exactly like yours except his still has the 30 inch barrel. His is labeled as being made by the American Gun Company which is the same as the Crescent.

Do u know how happy I will be if I had this

You found an original double barrel from the 1800s and molested it, cuttin barrels down and other stuff..... Do you know how hard it is to find 30 to 32 inch double barrels rhese days? Ive been lookin for a well kept, functional double barrel for years. Kinda hurts man, great lookin old girl but you could of definitely just bought a new made 1878 from, cimarron or pietta and did a patina job and other things to make it look the part but made of modern metals....

This is a very nice shotgun you have there. I believe it was made after 1930 when H&D Folsom Arms Co. purchased Crescent Firearms in 1929.

Wyatt carried a 10 gauge, 22 in barrell.

Right on Brother! Great stuff as always.

Hi, doc holiday have shotgun meteor 10 gauge? All right?😮

It's simply a hammer thong or hammer loop. It sounds funny, but that's what it was called. I still do.

I am a proud owner of your Wyatt Earp wild rag (as well as the Doc Holliday vendetta scarf) and also have a Hondo hat from Erik that I purchased several years ago; you might like to know that I'm wearing the Wyatt scarf as well as the Hondo hat in my performance of "Professor Marvel" for "The Wizard of Oz" at La Comedia dinner Theater! The scarf is a very comfortable silk, and, in spite of the hot conditions under the stage lights, the colors don't run! Erik's hat has that authentic trail-ridden look and feel, and really gives a nice depth of reality to the part I am so fortunate to portray. Thanks for providing these videos, Doc!!

That hat has the perfect authentic look! I don't know a lot about hats but I notice all the hats I run into in the western wear store look alike and nothing like classic western movie hats. The crowns are always too short.(4 inches or less) the old hats all had more material in the crown and some were shaped tall and others shorter like the one you have but you can see the material is there just folded in more to finish with a shorter crown.

Rio Bravo is my favorite John Wayne movie to, mostly because of Ricky and Dean singing. I was thinking that was last movie John wore that hat...

The Howitzer.

Awesome video pard! Thanks for the kind words. I love Duke's Old West gear and am happy to be working with Western fans all over the world. Keep up the great work!

Awesome 12 gauge double barrel.

I have an old Lefever, the checkering is similar. I would have thought a Greener would be appropriate. I know the Duke referenced one in a couple movies. Don't you just love the 8 ga. in Appaloosa ? I wonder what shotgun was really carried at the OK corral.

$275.00 for shipping from Mexico??? Got a couple of hundred pairs coming? Since you have spurs, you know how much they weigh and it doesn't cost that much. Now maybe I misunderstood, Spurs & Shipping (given that they are custom spurs, well ok, but not for the shipping alone). I like Ariat boots, they are well made in China. I don't think of China when I think cowboy boots or anything western. Tony Lama, Dan Post, some Justins, Boulet (from Canada) all good boots, have had all of these brands and they all hold up really well. Good Solid Video!!

Beautiful shotgun!!

In the film didn't doc carry the birds head pistol on his left for right hand cross draw and the other opposite?

Doc Holliday hat?

Awesome… nice rig too 👍🏼

Great rig the buckle billet end needs a longer taoer to the stich, that small V ............. nevermind sir a great belt and holster and thank you for sharing

Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Excellent shirt! I can't get enough blue Duke shirts. Love it!

Dang! That looks really great!

That's a fine looking rig!

Very Cool Doc! I love all the details.

Excellent wardrobe company! I've had several of these shirts made for myself and have had one made for my son and a friend. I wear 'em in Texas summer weather and they are very comfortable. Keep up the excellent work - can't wait to see what's next!
