The Summer 2021 issue of Guns of the Old West is a tribute to the man, the myth, the legend… Dennis Adler. After 16 years with us our esteemed cowboy prepares to ride off into the sunset. With 44 years of author and photographer experience, Mr. Adler has decided to take a step back from his issue to issue role. However, if you knew Dennis like we do… you wouldn’t be surprised when he pops up on the horizon from time to time with a good story or gun test. So while it’s Happy Trails for now… you can bet all your chips that you haven’t seen the last of him!

Also in this issue, LaVista Bill Bell trades his hat for a bar towel as he tests two new .22 caliber Single Actions from Heritage Arms, appropriately named the “The Barkeep”, the man of the hour reviews the the Winchester Model 1912, which is yet to ride off into the sunset after 109 years, and author Shane Jahn takes on the octagonal barreled, big lever, Rossi 92.
