A tip of the ten-gallon hat to Pietta and Davidson’s for helping keep the old west alive.
These may be worth checking out if you love Lonesome Dove, John Wayne, Red Dead Redemption, and you grin during the movie Tombstone when Kurt Russell’s Wyatt Earp challenges Billy Bob Thornton’s character to “Go ahead, skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.” If you purchase one and plan to try spinning it, might we recommend taking a note from Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday and practicing with an unloaded cup first. Yee-haw, cowboys. See you at the range!
