Thanks guys. I rather suspected that there just had to be dedicated prop guns like you describe available. I would imagine (hope?) that as popular as Westerns are, that the typical guns used in them would be available in these modified prop gun configurations.

Which, of course, further begs the question - why on Earth would there ever be a real, functioning firearm on any set for any reason? That is, by the way, a rhetorical question. You guys have done a great job of answering it already.
