Nope, but here's one for you: Try “The Shooting”, with Jack Nicholsen, Warren Oates, and Will Hutchens (Sugarfoot). Seems to have a cult following, since the late sixties.
Thank you all – but my real concern is this: Can a single action army revolver clylinder be chambered for both rounds? To put it another way, can one load old .45 Long Colts and more modern .45 ACPs without swapping cylinders? U.S Firearms led me to believe they can machine such a single action revolver. At least, that's what I am paying for.Comments? Hopes? Concerns?Decades ago, I had a .22/.22 magnum Colt single action with two cyclinders, and the magnum cyclinder dragged, and failed to fire on one chamber. Piece of shit, and this was circa 1970: Can they do any better today?I report facts here, but have to ask: Whatever happened to American craftsmanship?
You are not addressing the original query, and I would have to add, why are you so defensive, already?Go baqck to square one, and try again. 🙂
I'm not being defensive, I'm challenging your assertion of "similar conditions"Original question: Where they products of the depression?No, they were cold-blooded criminals and murderers. I admit the movie was very good, but the movie also glorified (if I may borrow Wally's words) pond scum. Typical Hollywood, victimize the bad guys and make them look like heroes.Actually, I did not phrase the query correctly. The question in my mind was "if" similar conditions came about today, or in the future.

Much depends on the projected use of the particualr piece... home defense might be better served with a .38, loaded with 3 snake loads and 3 wadcutters (IMHO).
I like your idea, Wally. I bought this little 5 shooter (a model 36 chiefs special) from my dad, and heard (from S&W) it was not cool to pop plus p ammo - and, so the story continues.So, no it's loaded with generic thirty eights. 🙂
multiculturalism? This is what goes on daily on this planet, and has always transpired. It is the futile efforts from multiple cultures on this planet to adapt, and accept one another. Probably one of the largest generators of war.Multiculturalism is what humans have fought about forever, at least after our forefathers left Africa. That you query its meaning does not give this one any hope. You still ask for what is evident, while it has been so through out human history.
What you are talking about is multiple cultures and their interactions, not the modern day phenomenon known as multiculturalism. Multiculturalism asserts that all cultures are equally valid at all times and in all places, this is simply not so.
Quite true. We still fail to communicate culturally. The proof for this argument is obvious - look at all peoples around the world. Still fighting. Humans support a culture that suppports murdering foes. That is where we are, and will be for a long time.
But I'll go with 1850 to 1900. Why? Firearms developement. During this period, the ability to slaughter humans with audacious efficiency was realized. The repeating rifle, revolvers, and semi-automatic pistols, and so much more … oh, yes we are the winners. One wonders why. Could it be our need to kill each other off more efficiently, because we were starting to over populate the planet? One has to wonder – could a greater intelligence be in control?
Didnt In to the west come out in 2005? I like that one. They seemed to pack a lot in to it.
Which film(s) are are you referring to?
