The Fall 2020 issue of Guns of the Old West has arrived and our crew made sure to make it well worth the wait.  Senior Contributing Editor, Dennis Adler is all about Colt this issue. He’s discussing its history, its significance amongst enthusiasts, and ponders “when is a Colt not a Colt?”

Western historian, Phil Spangenberger tells you the story of another great challenger to the Peacemaker, the Merwin-Hulbert. A sixshooter so advanced that it has proven all but impossible to recreate today! Also, William Bell tries out a new 12-gauge scattergun, and Frank Jardim sends lead flying with a Winchester-style 1892 Carbine from Cimarron.  And this is just in the first half of the issue!
