US Revolvers Db-F

EMF Great Western II

Notes: Though actually manufactured for EMF by Pietta of Italy, the Great Western II is sold exclusively through EMF in the US and therefore I have included it here. This replica is sort of an amalgamation of several Old West-type Colt designs, and therefore, while it does not look like any particular Old West-type revolver, it does look like something out of that era, and in fact many of its parts can actually be interchanged with a 1907 Colt revolver.

The Great Western II is of course built primarily of steel; finishes can be of several types. The one with the most authentic finish, called the "Californian," has a case-color hardened frame, trigger, and hammer, with blueing on the rest of the metalwork. Other finishes include bright nickel plating, or the metalwork can be made from stainless steel. Grips on the Californian are of one-piece walnut; grips of the others can be of walnut or "Ultra-Ivory" (a faux-ivory plastic).

The mechanism is almost identical to those old Colts, including arched/beveled chamber fronts, a rounded trigger guard of the proper shape of that period, a two-notch base pin, and markings which are few and unobtrusive. The firing pin is on the hammer, and the hammer surface is checkered. Sights are fixed and consist of a square-notch rear and a half-moon front. The sights are intentionally made by the factory too high, so that one can easily modify the sights for the typical load and bullet weight he typically shoots with some filing. Though very well-built, there is the slightest amount of play between the grips and the frame.

Forehand & Wadsworth Hammerless

Notes: This weapon looks like many other such weapons produced in the 1890s. Apart from small details in the triggers, hammers, and outline, they are all basically the same. They may look fragile, but they survive today over a century later in good working order, and there are still tens of thousands in circulation.

Freedom Arms Casull Model 83 Field Grade

Notes: This is a revolver chambered for a variety of cartridges, some of them quite powerful. They typically have long barrels and are quite heavy, but are built with excellent quality.

The Field Grade comes in several versions, with 9 calibers and 5 barrel lengths in most calibers and versions available. The .454 Casull version was seen in the hands of James Caan in Alien Nation, but it is not the most powerful round the Model 83 Field Grade fires. The .500 Wyoming Express version has only recently been released as of March 2006; though it was designed and first tested as far back as July 2005, and work on the round itself goes back even further. (It also appears to have replaced the .50 Action Express model, as the .50 Action Express version is no longer available from Freedom Arms.) The rear sight is adjustable, and black Pachmayr grips are standard. The finish is matte blued.

The Premier Grade differs primarily in the use of a heavy octagonal barrel, and the grips are normally carved from tropical hardwoods (typically winewood). The finish of a Premier Grade is brushed stainless steel instead of blued.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 83 is not available in the following calibers in the Twilight 2000 timeline: .475 Linebaugh, .50 Action Express, and .500 Wyoming Express.

Freedom Arms Model 97 Premier Grade

Notes: This is a medium-frame revolver from Freedom Arms. It fires a different mix of ammunition, and the .45 Long Colt version also comes with an interchangeable cylinder that allows it to fire .45 ACP ammunition. The .357 Magnum version has an interchangeable cylinder for .38 Special ammunition. The Model 97 has tropical hardwood or Micarta grip plates. A variant, the Model 97 Field Grade, is virtually identical except for its Pachmayr grips and matte finish.
