I'm glad there's another Browncoat here! It was Mal's "Civil War era design inspired" pistol that led me to fall in love with the Remingtons.

I was a little more contemporary.   I had a Johnny Seven (7 guns in one) and a Secret Sam.  (a spy briefcase with a pistol that built up to a scoped rifle).

For those that don't know, Star Trek was originally pitched to the studio (by Gene Rodenberry) as a "Wagon Train to the stars." Wagon Train was an NBC western that ran from 1957-1965 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon_Train). In other words, much of the scifi stuff we watch today has it's roots in stories of the old west.


-----[begin kflach sings to himself]----

Jayne! The man the call Jayne!
Oh he robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor
Stood Up to the man
he gave him what-for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton;
the man they call Jayne.

Yeah! I had a Secret Sam too, and it came with lots of other stuff as well, including if I remember right, a camera that had a spring loaded chamber in the "lens" that you could put a plastic "bullet"  in and as you turned the lens ( casually adjusting your f-stop) out would fly the plastic bullet - sorry Dick, no big lubes at that point, and definitely no powder of any sort - the only "negative" thing about it.

Well, since we're coming out of the closet, I'll have to testify that "Sky King" was always one of my favorite 'westerns'.

[Fairshake]

Penny was the reason that I watched Sky King. We were very poor and I could not even began to understand someone who owned a airplane and a ranch. The pretty niece Penny was very easy to like.

[Hard Mouth]

Have a set of CDs of the first season of "Have Gun, Will Travel". Many of the epiosodes written by Gene Rodenberry!!
