Cap Gun Monday: HUBLEY RIC-O-SHAY .45


The Ric-O-Shay, I believe, was the second-largest of the cap gun sidearms, second only to the Hubley Colt .45. It was probably issued with only white grips, but since it and the .45 use the same size, and I had two of each, I swapped them. It's like having two new guns for free. Can't decide which I like better.

Cap Gun Monday: "Buck 'n' Bronc" DAVY CROCKETT


One of the George Schmidt Company's many popular pistols was the Buck 'n' Bronc. So when the Davy Craze hit, they jumped on and did this special Davy editon of the Bronc. They had done the same for an almost as popular hero, Hopalong Cassidy. Davy prefers this one.

Cap Gun Monday: CARNELL BUNT-LINE

This swell weapon was made by Lone Star of England for the Carnell company of New York. One of the cooler things about it is the "Notch Bar" on the grip (best seeen in the photo below), so young gunslingers wouldn't lose track of their kills. (Some other Lone Star guns featured this also.) Lucky for me, the original owner of this one seems to have had a peaceful career.
