Do they let prospective buyers shoot them first? I would never spend that kind of money on a gun if I couldn't shoot it first.

They're all beautiful but this one's my favourite. Clint used something similar in a lot of his movies?

The Walker is a truly massive revolver. It's a proper "horse pistol", meant to be carried in pommel holsters on each side of the saddle. They are really too big for a man to pack around.

Good Bad & The Ugly...Blonde and Tuco had 1851s Angel Eyes a Remington 1858.
Josey Wales..1851, Dragoons and 1849. I like the Remington 1858 it is easier to reload ..removing cylinder and putting a pre loaded one in. European black powder tgt shooters like the 58. Had an original sold it for a tidy sum and replaced it with a SS pietta 58..easier to clean and it was about 300. |

There are a lot of fake Walkers..that is one gun that should be xrayed before purchase. There was a guy in the 50s that was fabricating them.and now they can pass as real.
I am out of my depth with that pistol..not to worry I can not afford one...John Gangle of Anaheim can tell a real one from across the parking lot...why he has been auctioning high end guns for more than 40 years..and has handled more than his fair share. |

I'll go be poor elsewhere.
I thought I was a big spender buying a CZ 75 Tac Sport this week.
