Shooting USA: 96 Years of US Service Firearms It is interesting to see the old west photos that fly in the face of Hollywood films. The title photo for this video shows four men and all four of them had their revolvers stuck in their pants cross draw. Most photos of those with revolvers show holsters high up on the belt. No one had a fancy leather low slung holster rig. Hollywood films would have us believe that everyone had a revolver in a low slung leather holster and a lever gun in a saddle holster. Very few if any had that in reality. Most folks had single or double barrel shotguns if they had a gun and even fewer could afford or had a revolver let alone a lever gun. Ranch hands might have had either a revolver or lever gun if they could afford it for taking game and protection out on the range. The reality from history does not match the Hollywood western stereotype but films needed that fictional world for their drama.
As a very brief overview, this video is good (maybe a little too patriotic). It left out the most common US rifle of WWI, the M1917, a 30-06 version of Britain's P14.
Cool. Well done.. Did or can you possibly do a segment on the missing service rifles M1917 Us Mosin by Remington which did see service by US troops in WW1
There is a movie/documentory out there claiming trapdoor cause of 7ths demise,being so fouled you couldnt load your third cartridge... i wasnt there,just saying
I'm looking forward to the Video on the M-16 and it's 65 years of US Military history.
The krag always fascinated me with the side gate magazine
Sure miss Jim! His son doing a great job.
stopped in at CMP Talladega, saw the Garands there. Super cool to hear about them on this show as a reminder of our good times during our travels.
Great video. Reminds me of watching shooting shows on tv in the early 2000s as a kid

I’m glad I read your comment before I posted mine. I own the M1917 rifle made at the Eddystone arsenal.
I always thought it was the Mauser cartridge itself that beat the krag. The 30-40 didn't have the range
Love the videos. Didnt know that about the M1 14 and 16
Great video.
