Wheelgun Wednesday: Building A Budget Wild West Collection

Summary

This article advises firearms collectors on building a 'Wild West' era revolver collection on a budget. It suggests focusing on more affordable options such as rimfire revolvers from Colt, Remington, and Smith & Wesson (e.g., S&W Model 1 in .22 or Model 2 in .32), European revolvers like Webley & Scott, or less popular American centerfire models like the Colt Model 1877 or Colt Model 1849 percussion revolver, which are significantly cheaper than first-generation Colt Single Action Armys often priced above $2,500.
