"Most traveling ranch hands had some type of pistol in their saddlebag, but few had the high-quality models like the SAA or Remington. Most had small, cheap, break-top revolvers in .32 or .38 calibers like Iver John, H&R, and Bulldogs.....the Hi-Point and Taurus of that time."
Exactly. As a matter of fact my family still has a couple of these carried by both of my G-Grandfathers maternal and paternal. Both traveled extensively all over the U.S. in the late 1800s
