Wild west and suicide special revolvers

[Jim McDougall]

As previously noted, while a lifelong researcher on arms history focused on swords, growing up in the west has not precluded historical interest in firearms. While not by any means a 'shooter' or gun collector, the study of history has few boundaries, so my entries of late reflect history as seen through the examples I have shared.
I really appreciate the input of you guys with such knowledge in these areas!
