I have the same guns, you have good taste cowboy.

cowboys were dirt poor laborers. they used what they could get, usually the cheapest guns available. only famous lawmen, famous outlaws, and rich dudes had fancy guns.

Because they arent useful and collecting things is poverty coded, generated from not having access to the things you wanted when you were young so you horde unnecessary things as an adult

You only own one gun and it's a USP .45
>>
>>64304210
I saw a guy open carrying a USP .45 at the East Peoria Chipotle while I was Doordashing last weekend, and it was very funny to me (this Chipotle is located in the nicest and safest retail district in the tri-county area). Also it's 100% illegal now that I'm thinking about it lmao

Cowboys were actually wealthy,j ust not affluent. They owned every star in the sky they slepy under. They controlled thier own destinies. More that you can say, city boy.

I'm more interested in Victorian oddities and rare WWI/WWII surp. Also, cowboy gats or anything else associated with the 'old west' tend to fall into either of two categories:
-antiques, which are either in shit condition or are extremely expensive due to boomers being obsessed with picrel since they were children
-potmetal crap

H&R Buffalo Classic with a brass plastic delete kit, Williams ladder sight, and hooded front globe sight, in .45-70. Still need to add a lead mule and owl feather on the bbl for a telltale. For shooting buffalos.

cowboys didn't own the cows. that's like asking how many conveyor belts a factory worker owns.
>>
>>64304515
I gave 3 cows for my squaw.
>>
>>64303817
>cowboy gun
>over and under
I'm pretty sure the first over and under was invented in the 1930s and if there were over and unders before 1930 they were super uncommon. cowboys didn't have over and under shotguns, they had single barrels and double barrel side by sides and pumps by the very late 1800s

>2 guns for his right hand
Someone didn't understand what he was doing when he decided to pick up some props and play cowboy
>>
>>64304738
most people can't shoot left handed. if someone was carrying multiple revolvers, which he isn't it looks like he has a luger, it wouldn't be uncommon to have both accessible to your right hand so you could shoot one, holster it and then draw the other and shoot it instead of reloading

Because I'm not a cowboy, obviously
Now, if you just mean revolvers, I've got some of those, they are neat
I also have not even the slightest idea how to use shotguns, supposedly you need to launch clay targets into the air to practice ???
How the fuck does that even work in a city

I've always wanted to et a lever action or maybe an 1851 Navy revolver. The most cowboy gun I've ever owned was a C96. Maybe rich cowboys would have them. I know a contingent of the Texas rangers used them for a time. I keep blowing my money on military rifles though.

recently picked up a martini derivative in 44-40, 1880 vintage, which I figure must have been a canadian cowboy gun, since I really can't think of anywhere else 44-40 and buying guns from P Webley would intersect

Yes, they are in fact 'playing cowboy'. Nobody that earns their own would be so careless.
>>
>>64307635
It could have been from England as well, the big English makers sometimes made guns in American cartridges. Martinis existed in smallbore and pistol calibers for target shooting, youth, and also as 'rook rifles'. How fancy is it? That ought to give an indication as to its original purpose.
>>
>>64304074
I wonder if that's his room or a photographer's?
Because mirrored vanities and even machine made carpets were pretty expensive back then.
Add the luger and he's either a moderately wealthy LARPer or he's really balling.
Given the era it might be early oil $

>>64306546
I see what you did there.
>>
>>64308161
it is 100% a birmingham gun, built on a large frame action with a field patent sidelever, plain as a brick, which is why I'm thiunking a working gun more than a gentlemans' . I'm thinking canada because that's where I got it and 44-40 being a pretty scarce chambering in any other british colony or dominion, while there were lots of canadian shops importing directly from england. Would be really helpful if there was a retailer marking, but if there ever was one, it's gone now (unfortunately, a previous owner polished the action, which is always annoying)
>>64308331
it wasn't uncommon for photographers to work out of a room in a nice hotel back in the day, so I'd bet on it being that
