This review highlights the rare 'Big Boned' American Eagle Luger, distinguishing it from the standard model by its 9mm caliber and significantly thicker barrel. The 'Big Boned' variant, produced in a limited run of only 250 units by DWM in Germany, commands a premium price of $15,000-$20,000 due to its extreme rarity. The standard model, chambered in .30 caliber with a thin barrel and 1906 toggle, is valued much lower at $2,500-$3,000.

This video segment from "American Rifleman Television" explores the Colt Model 1878 double-action revolver. It contrasts Colt's earlier problematic Model 1877 with the more robust 1878, which addressed some design flaws and was chambered in a variety of popular calibers including .32-20 WCF, .38 Long Colt, .41 Long Colt, .38-40 WCF, .44-40 WCF, .45 Colt, .455 Webley, and .476 Eley. The video also discusses the U.S. Army's adoption of a variant as the Model 1902, its use during the Spanish-American War, and distinctive features like the enlarged trigger guard. Ultimately, the design's reliance on older loading mechanisms contributed to its obsolescence compared to swing-out cylinder revolvers.
