Belly gun bar fight...sort of
I had E.M.F.’s 1860 Army Snub Nose in house for my black
powder column in "Guns of the Old West", so I thought I’d use it, along with my personal cut down 1860 Army revolver to do a belly gun video. I got ambitious and tried to incorporate a little mini-movie scene, but, as you’ll see in the video, that did not go exactly as planned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anOkY6DE8Ms |

Enjoyed the video. The next time after you shoot the man who calls you cheater, you should reach across the table and drink his glass of whiskey (iced tea). Spoils of war you understand.
Thanks for an entertaining video.

Mike, At 10:06 into the video there seems to be a image of the ball. WOW! That's great!

Mike - as always . . . a great video! I gotta say that belly gun with the birds head grip is a real looker . . . wouldn't mind having one of those! Thanks again for sharing another great video . . . I always look forward to them!

I love your vids, Mike - always informative and entertaining.
I'd like one of those birds-head .44s too, but EMF doesn't seem to show 'em on their E.M.F. Company website. http://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/...eriff-c112.htm Oh well... |

I agree with virtually every one of the comments above.
I thought I saw a bullet towards the end.
The video is easily as entertaining and informative as anything you have done. I love your reloading technique. Every part of it. The birdshead grip makes the pistol very attractive. (I am thinking about how to make one but I would establish a rule that I am not permitted to go out and buy the back strap.) Anyone have an old, poor condition 1860, they'd sell me?

BTW....
1. What did the target say that made you so mad?
2. If I paint a smile on the man sized targets I use, does that mean I can't shoot them? 3. The target looked pretty dead after you shot it. BUT was it smiling?

Series 70, it is brand new. I recommend you call or email EMF. I'm sure they'll be happy to sell you one.
Doc, That's a line out of "The Virginian" The Virginian was called an S.O.B. by is buddy Steve, and he laughed about it. But when Trampas called him the same thing during a card game, it almost resulted in a shootout. "When you call me that, you'd better smile." |

Great video as always! I have that same gun from Dixie, but with the snubbie octagonal navy style barrel. Lot's of fun!

Thanks for the fast wink back, Mike
When someone calls me an S.O.B. I consider it a compliment, because I deserve so much worse.

I enjoyed the video.
As a matter of fact that is part of the reason I am here. Watching your video's reminded me of how much I missed shooting and tinkering with guns. Modifying a Pietta 1851 right now. Used to make spurs and saddles etc. I really enjoy cowboy stuff. Please keep those videos coming. Very pleased to be a new member here. |
