Times described a Colt revolver for sale for $350, so the current owner called, got the address in Hollywood and hurried over only to find an old movie studio. The Colt was a .44-40 SAA with a 43/4″ barrel, SN 765XX, made in 1882. It had the remains of a cheap stove chrome finish through which engraving could be seen. It sported a pair of original Colt mother-of-pearl grips, the right one having a carved longhorn steer’s head with 24kt gold horns and ruby eyes. Both escutcheons having the Rampant Colt facing forward indicated the grips were made in 1913 or later.

Too small. Too trim. Too light. And then I shot it. Just right! Honestly, this doll-size, 5.25-pound side-by-side carries, rises, points and shoots like an extension of my arm, which is just what an upland bird gun is supposed to do. But what a surprise for an entry-level double with a suggested retail of just $1,040.

KelTec hit us with the KSG years ago and combined a bullpup design with a dual tube system that doubled the capacity. The KelTec KS7 is both younger and smaller than the KSG. KelTec’s KS7 simplifies the KSG design by reducing a dual tube design to a single tube system. Not only does this lighten the weapon’s weight, but it lightens the price tag as well.

That’s the way it’s been for about the last five years. This year, the pistol is a Model 1911 from Dan Wesson. I’ve fired a few Dan Wesson 1911s in the past, but never one in 10mm until now. The company has had 10mm 1911s; I just haven’t had the opportunity to work with one. When I got a quick look at the long-slide Dan Wesson Bruin in 10mm Auto, I made a point of getting my request for one in as quickly as possible. I’m glad I did because after handling and shooting it, I can say it’s one of the nicest long-slide 10mm Model 1911s I’ve ever fired.

It wasn’t until the sun began to rise that I truly could appreciate its beauty, but even in the dark morning, it was different. I’d seen Remington 870’s. I have two myself and was toting one that day, but had never truly admired one. This particular shotgun belonged to Kevin Paulson, editor of HuntingLife.com, who was mentoring me on a turkey hunt in Nebraska. Though everyone in our party of three had a Remington 870, and all looked slightly different, Kevin’s stood out. I do have to wonder though — would turkeys notice too?
