Sweet Jane, she carried a Smith & Wesson .32 Long Colt. She had a dream. She played her part. She was never lonely. Sweet sweet Jane. She'd never break it.
Heavenly roses, they whisper to her. When she smiled la la la la, la la la

"Don't let them take you ALIVE!"
In the menacing lull before battle, Captain MacLaw handed his pistol to the girl he loved. "There are six cartridges," he said. "Save one for yourself." Martha said nothing, but she understood. The attack was coming soon. A horde of Indians were poised to attack the wagon train, intent on killing the settlers and ravishing their women. Only the captain's troop of cavalry stood between the convoy and disaster. Martha knew that MacLaw and his men would fight until they died. If they failed to stop the blood-thirsty savages, she would fight, too, and then die by her own steady hand.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Willie May Broderick screamed as she cringed against the wall of the Hickory gang's outlaw cabin. Four brutal killers glared down at her, debating whether she should live or die. Suddenly their leader rode into camp -- and Willie May recognized him at once as Hiram Sugg, the man she was engaged to marry! Sugg was playing a dangerous game. If he succeeded, the prize would be governorship of a new state. If he failed, it would be the long end of a rope. Only two people knew enough to stop Sugg -- Willie May, whose love now turned to hate, and Bob Lee, a rider for the Broderick spread. And while Sugg was looking for a way to silence Willie May, Bob was moving towards the hideaway, his gun primed for a final hot-lead pay-off.
A top break revolver with modular front and backstraps for the most comfortable grip, this sixgun is made for the hunter or target shooter that wants an accurate revolver for big game or silhouette shooting, and is also a great defensive weapon against cyborgs or robots when loaded with special anti armor/anti cyborg ammunition.

"We BELONG to each other, Clee!"
Clee Soames shuddered at Sheriff Will Rowden's gloating voice. His loathsome arms embraced her, but she steeled herself. In the shadow of the ranch she glimpsed the lithe form of Grady Scott worming his way out of the sheriff's trap. Rowden's lips sought hers . . . The sheriff was in a cold fury when he found out he had been duped. At Apache he had used his badge to cover up his rustling forays. And now his setup was endangered by a girl, and Grady, the one man who could stop him, was at large. In desperation Rowden stirred up a bloody war between ranchers and nesters while he lashed out in his biggest cattle raid. But Grady was ready, and when the raiders appeared he launched an attack on them that smashed a crooked lawman's savage reign!

From the blurb on the first page:
Neale Loring's long trail started the dark night that Clate Dixon and his gang ambushed Neale's dad and brothers and left Neale for dead too. But he recovered from the lead poisoning and set out to even the score.
His vengeance ride took him a long way and through plenty of hellfire, and Leslie Scott tells the yarn with gusto and color. "The Brazos Firebrand" sizzles with stampeding cattle, marauding Apaches, train-wreckers, brand-blotters, and a host of hard-riding hellions. It's an ACE Original and guaranteed to be a thriller!
From the back cover:
"FIGHT for us or get SHOT."
It wasn't a threat Bally Buck made to West Cawinne but a grim prophecy. Two six-gun experts couldn't graze the same range -- not when one was Robideau, a half-breed specialist in treachery and the other was Cawinne, the most ruthless lawman in the Southwest. But Cawinne was tired of fighting, tired of his bloody reputation. He had a ranch and a girl and he wanted peace. Yet if he turned his back on the trouble in Moon Dance he'd get a bullet in it. So he tied down his holsters and tramped down the dusty street to meet a vicious outlaw who'd never been beaten on the draw. A whole town held its breath. And a whole town's life hung on the bullet-spattered outcome.
Quoting from the back cover:
"Jim Taft was the nephew and heir of a powerful rancher. He'd never been West; he didn't know cattle. To test his guts, they made him foreman of the toughest outfit in Arizona."
"He fought for their respect!"
"Big Curly Prentiss was easy. When Jim hit him, he busted like a paper bag. Tough Up Frost was harder, but Jim's bare knuckles chopped him down.
"Then he came up against Hack Jocelyn, a waddy who would fight only with guns. That was a battle Jim could never win. It was also a challenge he could never refuse -- and live!"

I vaguely remember the picture that I got this from, I remember that it was small, and I have no idea what it represented.
All I know is I was probably bored at work and drew it.
Even though I have several western themed drawings, I am not necessarily a cowboy type of guy, I mean, I like a lot of things. I'm not even 'country'. heheh

Fargo was his name, and somehow he'd never learned to tip his hat to a killer . . . even on orders from the biggest man in the territory.
So they framed him for murder, then watched him escape. And on the trail they knew he'd take they stationed a killer . . . who lived by the creed that dead men never prove their innocence.
From the back cover:
"Coy Quillen," the man said. "Well, I'll be damned. You ain't very smart coming back to Texas. Folks around here heard you got killed at Gettysburg. Most allowed it was a good thing too. Yeah, I heard all about you. Turncoat!"
Quillen kept his voice even. "I fought for the Union because I believed in what they stood for. I'm back in Two Trees because it's my home."
The eyes that faced Quillen were cold and full of hate. "Well, that's real neighborly of you. Here's something for you to think about when you walk down the street and you can't see what's at your back. The South is whipped. And you helped. The only government in Texas is wearing uniforms just like yours. You're going to be real popular -- just like a sitting duck."
The Heritage Rough Rider 45LC handles well and has a nice fit and finish for the price. I got the 5.5 inch model with the old west distressed finish. The action is smooth and is well balanced. The grips are high quality cocabolo wood. It's a good choice for cowboy action shooting, not too expensive and a well made pistol. It also comes in a blued or stainless steel finish.
The Belt and Holster was made by Classic Old West Styles (COWS) from El Paso Texas, it came to me from the actor and cowboy action shooter who played Butch Cassidy on Pax TV's episode of Butch Cassidy Smartest or Luckiest Outlaw" from the series Encounters With The Unexplained.
Shot for the Jan 2012 NAPG contest. Borrowed a couple of Replica Colt 1851 Navy revolvers, holster and saddle. The boots belong to my son. Shot this with my 7D using the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens and the 580EXII flash into my large Softlighter diffuser. Processed with CS5 and Topaz Adjust 5.

In the saloon, Jim Nightingale stared at Castro and his four men. Then he said: "I draw the line at drinking with a pole-cat!"
Tensely, Jim and Castro faced each other, hands on their guns. Suddenly, the saloon's swinging doors opened and Sheriff Morgan slammed in.
"Hold it, Castro," he cried. "Hand over that gun."
"OK, Sheriff," Castro grinned slyly, "Have it your way."
Then, without warning, Castro gave it the Texas roll and squeezed the trigger. Almost at the same moment, Jim's gun roared. Castro and Morgan went down together.
With hate in his heart, Jim turned to the the four men at the bar. "Get out of town," he snarled. "And get out fast!"
Not exaclty Shakespearean but an okay piece of pulp fiction.

SAVAGE FRONTIER DRAMA
Terror prowled the bleak untamed Texas prairies. Lonely women waited for men who might never return.

"DRAW"
Twister's voice had a cutting edge to it. "I been knowin' I was gonna kill yuh since I fust looked at yore ugly face. Pull yore shootin' iron so's yuh can tell the devil yuh was killed tryin'."
Red Williams' hand slapped downward and his gun came up blazing. But Twister's first bullet took him between the eyes.
Twister Malone and Chuckaluck Thompson didn't want any trouble. Even when the rider ahead of them was dropped by the deadly shooting of a hidden marksman, they kept on going. But then they became the targets. And the two happy-go-lucky cowpokes left the trail for a dangerous look-see around a lawless outpost.
From the blurb on the first page:
A gunman's bullet slammed into Bill Helgar's chest the moment he first set foot in Reseda, a slug that had been intended to stop another man's scheming heart. The original target was Dan Trusand, a slick and cunning gambler, and when Dan nursed the youthful Bill back to health he had something more on his mind than mere gratitude. He had a very special role in mind for Bill to play . . .
There's no letdown in the pace of this top-notch novel by the author of "Tall in the Saddle" and the famous Red Clark stories. As one newspaper reviewer enthusiastically put it: "Gordon Young weaves a masterful plot toward a smash climax that includes a double lynching, a framed race of quarter horses, a shooting, and a showdown clouded with gunsmoke in a tense saloon."
Quoting from the back cover:
"ON THE TRAIL WITH A TEXAS RANGER
When Steve Ware came home to Verde County, proud of his new rank as a Ranger, Verde greybeards refused to treat him as anything but the cowboy who had worked on their outfits. As a Ranger, Ware couldn't fight back against their insults as he could have if he were still a cowboy; he could only wait for a chance to prove himself. The chance came unexpectedly soon, when Fyeback, the storekeeper, was mysteriously murdered. At the same time Black Alec Pryde's highline gang was raiding, and Steve wondered if the murder and Black Alec's blows were connected. The trail was "tangled as a spiderweb," leading Ware and his fellow Ranger, 'Bar Nothing Red' Ames, far from Verde Country. It was a trail to make brave men hesitate. Ware followed it into the desert and bare hills of Satan Land, to the House of Whispering Shadows, policing a wild country in the way that has made the Ranger Force world-famous."

Rogers is the chief engineer of a construction crew building a much-needed town road and helping to build the road is a youth convict crew. A crooked rancher frames the boys for a series of crimes. This was one of Roy Rogers’ last and one of his weaker films. He and Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage do get in a few tunes.

A break action, double action, SVD inspired revolver. Some parts did turn out a bit messy, but I think it turned out alright for my first sixgun.

"So you fell for a HALF-BREED!"
"Sam Dryden's vicious taunt before a circle of sourdoughs lashed Jack Drewry like a whip. Blind with rage, Drewry lunged at Dryden driving both fists. Drewry, a tenderfoot in the North, had lost out in a stampede at the Edge of Beyond, a gold- mining camp. Recklessly searching for a new claim he worked his way north to the Edge into an uncharted country that old sourdoughs swore was haunted by devils and veined with black gold. Stranded and injured in this frozen waste Drewry was rescued by lovely Helene Beloit who brought him to her father's house. During the long days of healing Drewry grew to love Helene, but he was conscious of an unspoken barrier between them -- a barrier he could not fathom until he heard Dryden's rasping voice snarl 'breed girl."
