American Guns TV Show
Discovery will be premiering a new gun store reality show entitled American Guns. The show revolves around the family who own the Gunsmoke gun shop in Denver, Colorado.
From the press release ...
The Wyatts are your typical suburban family... who just happened to own one of the premiere firearms facilities in the world. Rich Wyatt and his wife Renee own Gunsmoke, located outside Denver, Colorado, where they buy, sell and trade guns - from hand canons to hunting rifles. And if you don't see what you want, they'll build one for you - from nothing more than a block of metal. Gunsmoke has the largest and most experienced group of gunsmiths in the state. When the Wyatts aren't building or selling guns, they're shooting them. No gun leaves their shop without being test fired by the family first. They - and the one-of-a-kind and historic guns they make and sell - are featured in the all-new series AMERICAN GUNS, premiering Monday, October 10th at 10PM ET/PT.
The Wyatt family takes their guns very seriously. For 18 years they have owned Gunsmoke, turning the small business into a firearms enterprise. Rich is a master firearms trainer and former police officer with more than 22 years experience in law enforcement. He is one of only six people in the world certified by Colonel Jeff Cooper, a master firearms instructor and one of the 20th century's foremost experts on the use and history of small arms. And Rich is an extremely talented gunsmith. Give him a block of steel and he'll create art.
It sounds like the guns covered will be quite different from Discovery's Sons of Guns. It will feature more traditional/historic guns rather than tacti-cool firearms.
If you, or anyone you know, is interested in being featured on the show — we are looking for Denver area gun enthusiasts in the market for a one of a kind custom firearm. For more info, please email sandy@metalflowersmedia.com.
I have known this family for 25 years and it’s a sad one.. Renee is an absolute psychopath who has legally tormented the true father of the ‘Wyatt’ kids for years. No, Rich is not their father. These kids sought the safety of their Dad on the east coast during their turbulent teenage years, then were bribed by Renee to return to Colorado. Trips to Europe, money, television show. She and Rich have threatened every judge, lawyer and mediator they have gone in front of while openly emasculating the father in front of the children. Sad..
As a former Marine Corps armorer, I think this is a great show. To all of the critics, I ask this. How long do you think a show like this would be on TV if they just videotaped a bunch of dorky gunsmiths in the basement doing trigger jobs and machining barrels? If not for a little ‘Hollywooding’ the show up, it would have never seen the light of day. I agree, the episodes can be a little silly and over the top. However, if you can ignore the silly price negotiating and the guns they make with diamonds on them, it’s a fun show to see some very rare guns, seemingly skilled gunsmiths and usually something blow up! How can you knock that?
Dumb, dumb, dumb. Fake, fake, fake. Titts, titts, titts.
Do they take gun owners for idiots? On Discovery of all channels. Should be on E!. No redeeming quality at all. Pimp out girls, rip-off customers, and put up a fake front seem to be the moral to the show.
I don’t see how so many people can condem a show that has just started. I lucked into the discovery channel late last night and stayed up long after my normal bedtime. I have never had the money to shoot a bunch of glasses as part of a celebration, but it was a hoot to watch. Say what you will, but the man has a beautiful family and a show that is great to watch. I am going to tune in every chance I get and try to make it a regular. If all of you gun lovers out there understood the motives of our elected politicians, you would do everything to support the gun show and all shooting sports before that right is taken away. If I should go to Denver, quess where I’m going to go.
Lets fire up the chopper, flash a lot of cash, shoot a TV, and look like a complete dork doing it. I hope Discovery will get these losers off the air. I really think Wyatt is O.C.D or maybe just a anal ex cop who watched way to many police shows as a child. I personally would not go to training from him on the finer points of running a Kool-Aide stand , Let alone gun safety.
Being a Denver based firearms enthusiast, I really wanted to like this show – unfortunately, it sucks. The owner of the shop is a real tool and none of the characters are interesting or compelling in any way. On top of that, the shop itself is nothing special as far as gunsmithing goes so you just end up witnessing a bunch of inane conversation. It’s obvious that the producers are straining to make these generic individuals interesting but it just isn’t working. Too bad.
JUST BRING THE SHOW BACK !!!!!! IT’S A GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY !!!
Really guys? All this personal hatred for a person just trying to run a business? Who cares if he doesn’t do business like you think he should? Who cares if you think his prices are inflated? IT IS A SHOW. A tv show for entertainment. If you want an informative show with product specs watch an infomercial! If you want entertainment watch regular tv shows like Sons of Guns or American guns. And I agree with one of the other posters on here; If you can’t even form a legible sentence or spell words correctly, then you shouldn’t be putting anyone else down. I love how there are so many “perfect” gunsmiths commenting on here who could do it so much better. Funny though, none of you guys have your own show. And harping on the kid who does the engraving? Really? How many other 21 year old kids do you know who not only have and keep a job, but are trying to learn a skill and get good at it? Quit putting these guys down just because you have no life to speak of and nothing better to do. If you think you can do it so much better then get out there and do it.
Gunner, really? What’s your story?
Looks like they are trying to drum up support for renewal. If you “like” Rich Wyatt’s Facebook page, you’re eligible to win a phone call from his underage daughter!
“…tell your friends to like me on FB and one lucky winner will get a personal phone call from Paige. Hows that, no don’t forget I am her Dad and if we called you I can find you so creepers need not apply.”
No “creepers”? As a dad, I think the offer is creepy enought already.
“Well keep up occasion I was at this point, I told you so as to I was getting the spitting image
lumpectomy [a lump-removal surgery in vogue both breasts] and radiation, but at this point as a
substitute of radiation, I’m up for grabs to set out in the future and move into the open with a
spitting image mastectomy,
cosmetic surgery baton rouge
Try to do something with your program before it is forced off the air, it is not good and not getting better.

From the write up of the show? “Rich is a master firearms trainer and former police officer with more than 22 years experience in law enforcement. He is one of only six people in the world certified by Colonel Jeff Cooper, a master firearms instructor and one of the 20th century’s foremost experts on the use and history of small arms.”
So who is around to dispute the claim that this clown is one of only six people in the world certified by Colonel Jeff Cooper? Who is it that determines that Rich is a master firearms trainer? Unless there is some bonafide group that actually certifies someone it is a bit like the claim on a restaurant menu that claims “WORLD’S BEST COFFEE” or “WORLD’S BEST HAMBURGER.” Who says? THe show is a sham. The clowns on the show are a sham. Why is it that this trash is even on?
I have a 1895 Wnchester (34-40 caliber) that my father purchased when he was 12 years old in 1906 from a gentleman in Texas who supposedly fought in the Spanish American War and brought this gun home with him. I have seen this style before but they have all had short barrels and the one I have has a 28″ barrel. I have only seen one other long barreled model but it was chambered for a 30-06 round. The gun is all original and in as good shape as could be expected for going through a war over 100 years ago.It shoots well and the action works extremely well which I think comes from the care my father and I have given it. I don’t know the value but was wondering if you would be interested in purchasing it. I think it would be a nice one to add to someone’s collection with such a short ownership history.
Just watched the episode where they ripped off a cowboy for $20,000. The man wanted an American made Winchester Model 1866 “Golden Boy” rifle. Rich told him there has been no American made Model 1866 Golden Boys made since Winchester stopped production! But he could make one for $20,000!!!! What a crock of bull! Henry Repeating Arms makes several American made Golden Boy models, including .44 Magnum, .45 Colt & .357 Magnums and for only $900!!!!! I lost all respect for the man and his entire work force. And they claim to be a firearms retail company!!
I’m not sure what is worse. The wife’s saggy face, or her awful botched boob job. No one wants to see fake tits that are 18″ apart! Rich comes off as a total douchebag, his wife as someone who thinks she is young/hot when she clearly isn’t, and the daughter is a complete idiot.
I have no idea why they’re wasting time with this show! It’s stupid.
Nothing like common trash pretending to be what they are not. This guy is clearly a tool box, the skank wife is a train wreck in every way…nasty fake cans, horse teeth and all. The kids are hers from a second marriage but they are not his. Rumor is a head injury from a car accident gave Wyatt his many personality disorders. These two people are on their third marriage each and the two kids they do have together get to stay home out of this horror show. Typical suburban family? How so? What a joke.
Gunsmoke and American Guns is just what a New Yorker would imagine the “wild west” knuckle-draggers do for fun. Too much drama, too much ignorant rantings being passed as “history” or “information” and these types of shows keeps the “Mall Ninjas” slobbering (note the gas cylinder “howitzer”). I am a U.S. Army veteran (VietNam) and have been shooting competition for years. These shows are an embarrassment to real gunsmiths and shooters.
I think the show is somewhat pathetic rich is a tool my dick is bigger than his bicep I read up that he got arrested for lying and contempt of court and the gunsmiths make things look so easy on sons of guns they act a lot more normal like who shoots at a bunch of roses and a cake from 20 yds away honestly.
In don’t know who said that the reason that guys like SOG’s was because they think that Stephanie ( I presume that is the owner’s daughter’s name) is “the hottest thing to walk the earth”. Seriously? She is a giggling twit, no offense intended Stephanie. Whose idea of hot is that?
As for the American Guns show, is it still on or has it run it’s course? One can only hope.
Why not stick to shows like Future Weapons which have interesting information without all the faux drama, vapid morons, etc? Or Mail Call?
If you want to do a show on gunsmiths, do one on the likes of Les Baer, Ed Brown, Wilsom Combat or the hundreds of other real gunsmiths out there that do real custom work…..this makes shooters of all backgrounds look bad, as far as him being a Police Officer, he was never a real cop, and was to be fired….
Am I lost here?? There are a bunch of people on this site that can’t even spell and they have the nerve to put down someone else for doing something to make a buck. Damn!! You guys are actually checking out the guys and making comments and taking notes…WTF… All I see is guns, guns, guns, explosions and females. Can you guys pay attention to the damn show? It’s about guns with a sprinkle of females to keep some of you tuned in just in case you didn’t see the guns or explosion. OK.. Rewind and watch it again. You’ll get it soon. And the guys who said this show was making CO look bad, I think your spelling or lack of spell check is making you/CO look bad. Not that hard the spell check tool is free. Use it or go back to school! Making all of us look bad.
I love guns and I love boobs but these discovery gun shop shows make me cringe. The clothes the mom and daughter wear on American guns is pure ratings fodder. Rick is obviously a shyster because the prices he quotes are outrageous. I know it’s TV and it’s dumbed down tremendously but Discovery should have realized that most gun nuts are not 70 IQ mouth breathing imbiciles.
I still watch for the glimmers of decent info they accidentally include.
wish the American Gun girls could just be on the entire show and just use every type of weapon to heavy metal music. Get rid of the guys and bad fake gunsmiths.
I have taken courses at Gunsite in Paulden, AZ. They were “character builders;” excellent training by first-class instructors. This year I signed up for a 5 ½ day course with Gunsmoke. I understood that Rick Wyatt had been a Gunsite instructor under the tutelage of Co. Jeff Cooper and assumed it would be good, comparable training.
The training was not comparable. The facilities, quality of instruction, and organization were poor and in no way at the level of excellence found at Gunsite. I am thankful that this was not my introduction to defensive hand-gunning. The entire course was compromised by the preoccupation with filming as opposed to training. The camera crew was everywhere, causing safety concerns from time to time. They lit up the night shoot with their floodlights to such an extent that it felt like daytime. Even one of the instructors commented that we were “being gypped” because of the filming during our training.
The best instructor they had for the course was tied up every day to give one-to-one attention to a couple who had never shot a pistol before. To make matters worse, Rich talked them into using 1911s, which are more complex for the first-time shooter. The couple was wonderful but was placed in the class to create a story for an American Guns episode.
During training, Gunsite was referred to with derision by Mr. Wyatt; he referred to the Gunsite logo, the raven, as a “chicken” and spent a lot of time in a negative “ TMI ” monologue about Gunsite related to its current management. He disparaged the instructors at Gunsite which, by extension, included the students such as me, who attended Gunsite and wear the Gunsite logo with pride.
During the training, there was an “accident” – a student blew out a $3,500 custom 1911. You can ask Mr. Wyatt about the circumstances of this potentially deadly accident. This brought the class to a halt for an extended period of time, again compromising students’ training. Rich purchased that damaged gun from the owner, on the spot, for $500. Students were not allowed to take pictures of the gun (at least two asked).
My experience with Gunsmoke staff – Bob, (gun historian), Ben, (instructor), and Scott, (gunsmith), has been excellent (except for the custom sight they put on my XD-45 which came unglued).
I would recommend that Gunsmoke hire a real accountant to manage the business. When I signed up for the course, I placed a 50% down payment. I was never asked for the balance. Mid-way during the course, when I realized Gunsmoke had forgotten about it, I called Ben, told him the situation and paid the balance.
I would also recommend that course instructors demonstrate the drills and their prowess with guns, as they do at Gunsite. Not once did any instructor draw and fire his weapon at a target to illustrate a drill or show what they could do.
Also, in my opinion, if Gunsmoke’s classes started on time, breaks and lunch time were reduced, they finished later, reduced the TMI during the lectures and eliminate Rich’s monologues altogether, I think the 5 ½ day course could have been completed in three days. And we could have done without the exercise of shooting our pistols at a target 100 yards away.
Most importantly, all Gunsmoke instructors, including Rich, should attend a current 250 class at Gunsite to see how real professional training is done. This is not to cast aspersions on Gunsmoke, Rich Wyatt or anyone else. I am just telling you how it was. You decide!
With respect to the episode of the Gunsmoke folks selling the preacher a 45 single action machined from a block of steel, Rick Wyatt was shown giving his gunsmith a handful of standard Colt-type parts. When he comes down to the shop and chastises his gunsmith about the timing, there is a flash of a picture of the hand or pawl with the standard flimsy leaf spring. The preacher was sold a supposedly rock-solid reliable $10,000 revolver, yet one of the weak points of the Colt design, which was carried forward from the percussion revolvers, is the hand spring. For reliability, the gunsmith should have drilled the frame and installed a Ruger coil spring. Frankly, why they just did not use a Ruger or even a USFA Single Action and saved the preacher $9,000 is beyond me. By the way, the kid supposedly engraved the revolver the night before the hand-over scene which apparently would have left no time for hardening the steel, but the kid does not seem to do real engraving so I guess he could have scratched the surface of hardened steel. Incidentally, if the preacher bought the revolver for SASS shooting, he would have needed a pair of them. Go figure! It would seem that the preacher would have to collect some more money from his parishioners or go to the folks who make up my SASS revolvers: Long Hunter Shooting Supply in Amarillo.
American Guns is just. plain. bullshit.! Mom has a boob job, daughter acts like she is some kind of “gun goddess”. Neither one of them knows which end the bullet comes out of. Boobs & Bullets would be a better name for it. I want boobs, I can watch the Playboy Channel. I saw the show where both females are shooting the Python. Low recoil, my ass!. They were shooting .38 wadcutters. I’m done with the show, after only watching half of it. Is there not a show left, that doesn’t feature females acting like they know about guns?? Almost ready to dump Sons of Guns, as well. I don’t care what your personal life is…..I’m just interested in the weapons. The whole “Reality TV” thing, is pretty much putting me off, anyway.
I took his CCW class and it was an absolute joke!!! 4 hours of listening to him bad mouth the cops and Obama as well as brag about how great he is and how hot is wife is! If that is the wife he is talking about that I saw the 5 minutes of the show I watched I would say his idea of hot is a bit different than mine! She is a perfect example of plastic surgery gone bad!! His guns ar over priced and he makes his living selling his CCW course! NO SHOOTING REQUIRED!!!! A buddy of mine spent $750 on a pistol class and he said it was the biggest waste of money! They gave him some range safety brief then just let them shoot all day! NO CLASS!! I could go on and on but this guy is a total joke and con artist and I doubt this show will last much longer because he absolutely has a horrible reputation in this area. His daughter is the typical skank and the only one that seemed halfway normal, again I watched 5 minutes, is the son. Shows like this have been done to death and you can tell this show is bits and pieces from other shows combined into one! DO NOT BUY GUNS FROM THIS CLOWN! Not to be a salesman here but you want a great gun for a good price go to 5280 Armory or Jensen Arms in Loveland.
oh and by the way, Wyatt told everyone in the class that when we walked in he was picturing how he would shoot each and everyone of us!! What a loser!!!! I am sure he will get his one day!
Is it even legal for that young girl to carry a gun when she’s not 18?? I couldn’t believe that when I saw it. Anywhere I have ever lived, it’s illegal. Honestly, I think this is some of reality tv show’s worst!
I believe that carrying a weapon on your own private property is legal. It is in North Dakota (where I live and served as a reserve police officer for 20 years) and it was when I did the same thing in southern California.
Debi- I have been thinking the same thing! How can she carry a gun and shoot at only 17 years old???
being from baton rouge and knowing some of the people that work at red jacket, i do like sons of guns. now will does piss me off sometimes being a marine myself he and i have that connection but he still pisses me off time to time. Now this new show “american guns” is the biggest turd i have ever seen. the wife and daughter are just airheads, and now that theres cameras they know everything there is to know about guns. Im happy that there is some new shows about guns to show that guns are not out there killing people by themselves. But the show is so damn stupid. I like to watch it with the tv muted and watch the fake tits. maybe it wont get picked up for another season. God i hope so. being in afghanistan we get to watch tv around once or twice a month and turning the tv on and seeing this crap just makes me want to go sleep in the hummie. just had to put my two cents in. AMERICAN GUNS SUCKS BIG DONKEY BALLS!!!! GySgt. Ambrose USMC.
Has BATFE paid them a visit yet for building an illegal gun?
The “knuckle-duster” is a modern cartridge handgun with unrifled barrels.
That makes it a “short-barrel shotgun” according to the National Firearms Act of 1934, requiring that the manufacturer hold the proper licensing, that its manufacture be reported to BATFE, and that a transfer be processed by BATFE with registration, $200 transfer tax paid and the approval of the local chief law enforcement officer.
No sign that Gunsmoke did any of those things.
Gunsmoke has a deservedly poor reputation in Colorado gun circles.
The real Gunsmoke, as opposed to the TV version being shown on Discovery, features over-priced guns and shoddy “custom” work. The real staff don’t have fake boobs, just real guts. And they prefer to tell the customers BS stories over providing “training.”
Bought one rifle there. Bit my tongue as the ignorant jackhole behind the counter told me lies about the rifle I was buying in an attempt to sell me a $1200 AR for $1700. It was worth it, in order to walk out of there with a $1200 collectible Mauser for $150 because they were so bloated with arrogant ignorance that they couldn’t be bothered to do even 5 minutes research before propping it up on the “junk guns” wall.
Dumbest show I’ve ever seen. Why are they all walking around with guns on?Funny, the mom and daughter only own tops that show their tits off. Where do they find this shit?
Yeah, I’ll give it a thumbs down, as well. On Sons of Guns, they go to great lengths to show that they are especially licensed and that they follow all the BATF rules. On American Guns, I watched the owner jump into a helo to sell some guns and ended up buying a BAR – the NFA kind -and apparently took it home with him. And there’s always a sequence where the owner shows how much smarter he is than the rest of them. BTW, the daughter who was touted as being a firearms expert tookj a whole day to learn how to strip a 1911. ’nuff said.
I really like guns and I like the show
I live in Denver and know the areas that they are in and just laugh when I see them flying places. They are located in Wheat Ridge, CO which is just 10-20 minutes away from Golden, CO where they fly out to meet a rancher. The shots they show from the helicopter are of them flying from the Centennial airport. I like how they travel 30 miles south to hop a helicopter to some place 5-10 miles west of their shop.
It’s what you call “TV”..
These shows do not even come close to showing how a firearm is built, repaired, or maintained. They do not show the hours of paperwork that has to be done to run a gunsmith shop. I have never had a customer ask for a hand cannon, no one wants one, even if they are on sale. They should do a show on the long hours that are required to repair a firearm. From what I seen they did not give the guy in the first show a good price on the rifles they sold him. The Johnson rifle looked like a rust bucket, they kept saying how rare it is, the M1-D it is a must have because it is so rare. (Check your info.) I don’t think the federal firearms laws are different in CO. If you are selling firearms, you have to do it at your shop, or at a gunshow, or a sponsered dinner etc. not at some guys house. I have never taken my helicopter to see a customer, the snow machine once in a while. Does it really take a hour to do a background check, like they told the guy who bought the 50 cal BMG, 15min operation at my shop. They should do a show about a hard working smith, who has some common sense, who does normal repairs for a living, and treats his customers with some respect.
Yes, in Denver, it often takes an hour for the process to run. However, on other days, I’ve had it complete in 20 minutes. It has nothing to do with Wyatt, but with the Feds and how quick they can turn around applications.
I enjoy both shows although I do prefer the guys at Red Jacket, they seem to be better gunsmiths.
I live down the road from Gunsmoke and I’ve heard good things about them. I’ll run by and check out their prices.
But I think some of ya’ll are just getting a little over the top on the criticism. it’s good for our sport that they are presenting guns in an enjoyable and interesting way that doesn’t make everyone look like psycho mass murderers.
Pretty spot on. Its tv people….
RED JACKET IS NO BETTER..WHAT A STUPID SHOW.. THE ONLY EPISODE I SAW WAS THE ONE WHERE THE DAUGHTER CHALLENGED TWO OF THE GUNSMITHS TO A SHOOTING CONTEST FOR WHATEVER REASON AND I SAW THESE “GUNSMITHS?” SHOOTING AGAINST THE OWNERS DAUGHTER WITH GUNS FROM THE STORE!..NOW I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS WHY WOULDNT THESE PEOPLE HAVE THERE OWN GUNS ON HAND?..I AM NO GUNSMITH OR OWN MY OWN GUN STORE BUT IF I WAS AND I DID..I WOULD’NT BE USING OFF THE SHELF WEAPONS I WOULD BE USING MY CUSTOMIZED 1911 OR WHAT EVER AND EVEN AT THAT THEY SUCK! IF THOSE PEOPLE WHERE SHOOTING FOR SHIT THEY WOULD’NT GET A WIFF!
AND THEN I SAW THE REPORT OF THE .50 CAL DESERT EAGLE SHE WAS SUPPOSEDLY SHOOTING? WHAT AN IDIOT!..SHE JUST LOST ANY CREDIBILITY SHE HAD….ITS TOO FUNNY…
I’m waiting for the guys on the show to put on short shorts so their balls hang out…. get some good nut-cleavage going for us female viewers
Maybe they could just walk around in cockholsters and never show any gunsmithing at all ?
This show is terrible !
Red Jacket is forever doing “hand work” with drill and file when a good machine tool is what a pro uses. Did anybody notice the “airsoft” products on their shop wall? Catering to those Mall Ninjas.
question has any one ever made a 22 long rifle gattlin gun and if not why not
Yes. Google is your friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4i9_kkg30o
I am really enjoying American Guns TV show. It’s very entertaining. Don’t know why so many of the haters have to trash the show. Don’t be a hater! Life is so much more fun when you enjoy. Get over yourself. I cannot belittle a man who works hard to be successful. Way to go Rich, keep up the good work!
I can tell you why, a majority of these people are SOG fans…..ppfffttt…they think Stephaine is the hottest thing to walk the earth…..
It’s because most of us know who these clowns are. It’s a free country so you can waych what you want but I would suggest you DVR these shows because they won’t last long.
Well as a customer a red jacket let me tell you they do not have their stuff together. Shortly after the epiSode with they did the Silenced ak 47 I ordered 1. I am now in mind 9 months of waiting for it and continually get jerked around every time I call. They compound 1 lie wiTh anoTher lie on Top of anoTher lie. They need To realize 1 day The cameras will be gone and they will have their business left if they have not pissed everybody off and not have a customer left. Red Jacket wake up and remember you’re a gun shop.
well as you know to get a weapon like that you have to wait. because of our wonderful government. so let me get this straight you know you have to wait for it, yet you keep calling them? why?
We can only hope that the person who said that hopefully this will normalize guns to people especially those who don’t use or even understand them and their importance in a society that expects criminals to have them but don’t have the depth of thought to realize their importance in and to law abiding citizens and their Constitutional (2nd Amendment Right To Keep and Bear Arms), Right to have for either their personal protection and that of their families, friends, and even the average innocent bystander. One thing is sure is that we will never hear of all the lives saved by guns, only the negative numbers are shoved down our throats by a 97% liberal media that feeds on horror stories involving guns but it’s sure you will never get the straight story on lives saved. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that criminals would be much less likely to perform acts of violent and criminal activities if they knew a citizen was armed. And I think we’ve all heard “If they outlaw guns only criminals WILL have them!!! I would just bet that the man who recently killed his wife and seven more and wounding another at her job would have been stopped from killing the majority of them-or maybe he wouldn’t have had the guts if he knew they were all armed or even that possibility!
matts voice only amplifies mine..but a little more eliquently..im no writer but matt is right…you will never hear about guns saving lives especially here in ‘kalifornia’?…you know the “GOLDEN STATE”!…WHAT IS THAT SAYING?…THE GOLDEN RULE? HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES?….LETS SEE… I, WHO HAS NEVER IN MY 43 YEARS COMMITTED A CRIME OF ANY SORT…AM A LOYAL,PATRIOTIC,HARD WORKING AMERICAN CITIZEN…BUT EVERY YEAR THE POLITICIANS KEEP COMING UP WITH ANAL RETENTIVE LAWS TO PISS US OFF..NOW THE NEW LAW STATES THAT IF PASSED WILL MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO CARRY AN UNLOADED PISTOL OPENLY! REALLY!!!..ITS LEGAL NOW AND I STILL DONT DO IT!!BUT! YOU CAN CARRY A UNLOADED RIFLE OR SHOTGUN LEGALLY ! UNTILL THAT CAREER CRIMINAL SEES YOU AND PULLS HIS LOADED PISTOL AND RELIEVES YOU OF YOUR UNLOADED WEAPONS!..WOW!..AND POLITICIANS RUN THIS COUNTRY!..NOW WE KNOW WHY THIS COUNTRY IS IN SO MUCH DEBT!..WE SHOULD FIRE THEM! THEY WORK FOR US? DON”T THEY?
Yer Damn Right!!.. I want all of my pie, its my pie and I’m keeping it! and its my god givin’ 2nd amendment right to do that by all means necessary, so if that means rockin’ a hot one out the of the barrel of my gun by god I’m going to do that …because I’m an American!.. with that aside I don’t mind either one of the shows, sure therapists stalks and I think American guns could use a little more footage of the milling shop and the actual gun shop but to each there own. There both still young shows that haven’t even had a chance to get ther footing. I think both there shops are cool, paige wyatt is hot, will seems like a cool guy, they both make guns …I’m cool with that
Pink 1911? Sawed off muzzleloader? Wow. Hand cannon really.
This show sucks. sry but it sucks bad.
This is the most ridiculous show about firearms I can imagine. Sons of Guns is bad enough the way they make everyone who, owns, uses, depends upon firearms like a redneck moron. They have some talented gunsmiths but come on.
An now you bring us American Guns with the wife acting like a harpy screaming “That is your job!” at her husband about duracoating a 1911 in pink for the big boobed plastic woman that came into the shop with her silicone face and boobs and a cheap face lift saying she had to have something big because everything she has is big. Guffaw. The wife also needs a little less cleavage and some age appropriate and fitting clothes.
I have to think that Bloomburg is paying for these shows with his anti-gun groups to embarrass us all into turning our weapons in or using them on ourselves in so as not to be associated with this crap.
I just watched the first 5 min of episode 1 of american guns…what a nightmare!..REALLY?…I thought sons of guns was lame..this one takes first place!…its MARRIED WITH CHILDREN with a lot of guns thrown in!…
IM JUST WAITING FOR PEG AND KELLY TO GO SHOOTING IN BIKINIS!
DISCOVERY CHANNEL HOW ABOUT A SHOW THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS SOMETHING EDUCATIONAL,INTERESTING? LIKE MAYBE CLEARING A WEAPON, LOADING A WEAPON..SIGHTING IN…SIGHT PICTURE.. TRIGGER CONTROL..CLEANING…STORAGE..TRANSPORTING…DIFFERENT AMMUNITIONS FOR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS…THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEMI AUTO AND FULL AUTO!…CONCEALED CARRY…GUNSMITHING ALL ASPECTS!…HOLSTERS..AND DIFFERENT STATE AND LOCAL LAWS CONCERNING FIRE ARMS…NOW THAT WOULD BE A SHOW!…P.S…IM TIRED OF HEARING HOW MANY PEOPLE WHERE KILLED BY GUNS..HOW ABOUT HOW MANY WHERE SAVED BECAUSE OF THEM?
cool show, was wondering if your gunsmiths came out cst, i graduated there back in 1988, i now work in the motion picture industry, you can check my name on imdb.com , a lot of people think the weapons used in film industry are not real firearms and thats bullshit, i own a weapons rental company in las vegas, nevada, via california, and what we supply is real, minus adapted for blanks, thanks for lookin , dave fencl
Went to your imdb.
Dude, you’re like my new hero.
Discovery should have given YOU a show.
This show is a fake as the moms boobs !
The show American Guns is a joke. I agree with the previous comments about the cast and their lack of natural parts. My real objection came while Rick was teaching a gun safety course. He correctly states that all guns are to be considered loaded. Within one minute they present a person in the class with a new handgun. The hammer on the 45 was cocked and the the breech was closed. It should have been locked open showing that there was no round in the chamber. Ridiculous.
The show gives Colorado a BAD name. We are not all like this. The mother needs to get clotes that fit her and the daughter needs a brain, her dog is smarter.
I was watching this show until tonight.Rick what an ass you are ( you make guns for men, american men not pink guns) If this women wanted a pink gun and paid for it your and ass for even saying anything because you gave me the impression that you only want to sell to men so feel free to sell to just men because I sure wouldn’t buy anything from you and I hope every women who is like me and collects and has quite a few guns,a member of the NRA and other gun clubs will have the guts to say to you kiss my ass .I’ll give your wife this she did say you were stupid.
I hope your show goes off the air because you are giving yourself a bad lable.
MEN ONLY NO WOMEN WHO WANT PINK GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show gives Colorado a bad name. We are not all like this. The mom needs to get out of the teens clotes and in to her own size.
I liked the show, im sure it will get better in time. As far as everyone who comented on the wife and daughter, what are you, a bunch of faggots ? You probably play with your guns more than you play with your wives ! Some of you obviosly know him personaly or know of him, your just jelouse of his success.
No but we are sure you have a problem with NOT watching a show that HAS to have titties in it to keep you going. All we are saying is there does not have to be a bunch of annoying Bitches, like your self for instance to keep us thrilled enough to watch.
I fucking love this site. just seeing how every one els is thinking the same thing that i thought from watching this Junk tv show. Sons of guns id rather watch, This Guns in America tv show just seems like some Dick that acts like he knows all and everything. then has a Noob Son that does the edging and a whore step daughter that shows off her tits the whole show…. i dont need tities with my guns to watch a show. shit glad you all are the same tho
I just watched this show for the first time. I should say I watched about 10 minutes. When the young engraver went to ask for a raise and got shot down by that arrogant a–hole, it reminded me of the a-holes I have worked my tail off for to see them live like kings and the workers live like peasants, That kid has worked there for 5 years with no raise. Thats BS. Will not watch it or recommed it to anyone else
She`s a cow, the wife, she has the gall to bitch about a buying the sheriff`s documented six gun! with those nasty store bought boob job? Let`s see, Gun?, Boob job??. Let`s go with the boob job!!, wrong choice, None of those people can act, they sound like a bunch of”D” actors, and it looks like the girls could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence!! “BIG TEETH” lol, Anyway the guy that`s an engraver did`nt need to beg for a raise, tell them he`s going to find a job else ware !!!, yeah then what will they do??? He`ll have no trouble finding another, better paying job! I love the guns, but the people SUCK, BIG TIME!!!
I’m gettin’ old and I was raised old school. I’m a man and don’t need reality shows like The Bachelor, Teen Mom, (new) American Chopper and American Gun. Sons of Guns is comin’ right along. Should Kris date the bosses daughter? They’re making me sick! Just play with the guns, sons.
Rich Wyatt is a huge scum bag. He didn’t retire from the Alma PD as Chief he was forced to resign by the city. Been arrested for contempt of court and lying to a judge. The kid’s aren’t his, they belong to his lame brain wife. I wonder how he holds a FFL. Bet his bound book is a mess. I’m almost sure those other mouth breathers at Red Jacket have a bound book that is a joke. Want to bet that the BATF love to watch both these shows.
Mike you are absolutely right. My good friend worked for Rich for a while. At the time they didn’t have a FFL. Rich didn’t want to pay taxes on his employes. He told my friend that he was responsible for paying his own taxes and said they were “contracted workers” and not employees. They aren’t his kids and on top of that the daughter wasn’t even allowed to be around him until she turned 16. The wife hardly ever was in the shop and in no way ran the business. I have talked to so many people that wont give Gunsmoke a second glance because they have shoddy work and Rich is a arrogant jerk.
Rich Wyatt was never even a cop in Alma. He was a SGT and the Department Armorer at the Auroua CO PD. He quit right before he was fired for supicision of stealing and misuse of department funds. The CBI was invetagating him at one point for stealing 2 M-16′s from the Auroua PD, they never found enough to charge him. I suspect his current FFL is in his wife’s name. As the Sheriff I’m sure would never endorse his.
Was kind of hard to figure out just what they were trying to sell. Might wanted to change the name to T&A guns. There was more rear end and chest hanging out than gun sales. Was funny to hear the wife complain about paying $22,000 for a gun, she had no problem doing her best to show off the breast job she had. Sure they cost more!!!! Get it together guys, is this show going to be a joke or a gun show????

I would like to see a lot less “scene flashes” they make my eyes go crazy. Take your time and show more gunsmith time.
yeah i hate that aswell. LOOK HERE* BAM BAM BAM* wtf was i just looking at? lol. once you get a lil look at the gun its allready on the girls boobs. then its on the mothers boobs. then its back to the old mans fucked up lookin face. then back to the heli with the bag o money. that damn rancher had more of a collection of guns then he did. haha
I like this show, because they have the best gun and their funny
what a disappointment. as a lifelong shooter and collector, i was hoping for a look at a gunsmithing shop building/repairing/shooting guns, especially pistols. what i saw was big fake titties hanging on a loud irritating shrew. nothing to see here, gun-lovers, move along.
This show sucks.
They have two drama queens, one an adolescent prima queen “don’t touch my dog, don’t touch my gun” and another nasty old crone bitch working the phones. These drama bitches need to go.
I know that this place isn’t a real shop.
And I know the REAL names of these actors/ posers.
How lame is that?
pretty daaamn lameeeeee. and i agree with ya thos 2 girls are a joke on a gun show. will never watch this junk, unless that girls tits come out more. haha
This IS a real shop, and those aren’t actors. They are a real family,just bad actors. I know, I’ve been there a few times.
I get the taste of “balloon boy” Dad in my mind…lol
It is a real shop unfortunately. Its in Wheat Ridge, CO. I can agree that the women are somewhat actors since the wife didn’t work there until they got a show. The daughter is the wife’s and she wasn’t allowed to be around Rich until she turned 16.
I’m sure Renee didn’t work in the shop, because she has 2 small children at home, one is 4 and I believe the other is 2..she was a stay at home Mom, until Discovery paid them a visit back in March….the rest is history
This show was complete crap in my opinion and did not show anything about gun. I do enjoy sons of guns because they do make cool guns and think outside the box, but I would enjoy a show of just building guns with no drama. American guns is however a show of drama that just so happens to have gun in the name, because they did not do much with building guns just yelling and some dumb competition between the kids… Waste of an hour
Saw the premier episode (and hopefully the last) American boob job is more like it.
Seems to spend more time pimping the daughter and wife’s chest than firearms? I agree that they seem to be trying to be a little too much of every other ‘reality’ show – Sons of Guns meets Pawn Stars meets the Girls Next Door. I mean really? Fly a chopper out to but a small handful of lever-action rifles?
Rofl Sooo true, check it out! my heli is comming to bring you some normal rifles! check it
my duffle bag o money, my daughter o tittie 
oh and i cant ride a horse 
I just watched the show for the first time. It was ok. I enjoy SOG because, I like the way that they try to restore most old weapons that they may get. The father Will reminds me of a Old Crusty Sgt from my military day’s.
Well what to say about it from what i read they are a shady firearm retailer and have bad cred but it cant be worse than sons of b****es i mean sons of guns but we will see and for those who call sons of guns SOG stop that is an actual quality knife and multi tool manufacturer and also stands for special operations group.
