Shootist Articles
« on: April 15, 2011, 11:10:12 AM »
I have been really surprised by all of the hoopla regarding my upcoming article on Smith & Wesson Pocket Pistols.

So I thought I would start a thread where members could suggest topics for future articles.

A few ideas:

"The Peabody Rifle"

"S&W 44 Frontier DA model"

"Merwin Hulbert Co."

"Shotguns other than SxS:  A review"

Type of leather (holsters and belts) that top lawmen, outlaws, gunmen wore and how they wore them. Like John Wesley Hardin wore a shoulder holster made by El Paso. Tj

We are going to restrict these topics to firearms used in North America pre 1900, aren't we? That is what NCOWS is all about.

Just for the sake of discussion only...
I'm slowly working out the kinks in a 2-3 part article titled 'Location, location, location.' It covers the topic of any club, anywhere, trying to establish a range and all the trials and tribulations they might encounter; local, regional, state, etc. It ain't gonna be a 'how-to' but will give the reader an observational and positive overview of all the possible problems any group might encounter in the establishing of what we want to utilize in our historical hobby.
I hope to have the articles completed soon, I've been blessed recently with more time to think about all the variables and intricasies involved in my past experiences and those of my Pards who have suffered many of the same vagaries.
Best regards and good future reading!

How about one on the 'oddball' revolvers, Savage, Pettingill, Manhattan, Bacon. While they may not have been as popular as Colt, Remington or Starr, they were manufactured in sufficient numbers to be relevant.
