(Also, eight ounces of peppermint schnapps to 12 ounces of hot chocolate sounds like a really good way to get messed up. So I&#8217;d recommend drinking these when you don&#8217;t have to go anywhere.) I should have picked up some schnapps, Creme de Cacao, and Cr\u00e8me de menthe when I was out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We watched &#8220;Tombstone&#8221; Saturday night. Spoiler: I think we all rather liked it. However, me being who I am and the rest of us being who we are (the kind of people who have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imfdb.org\/wiki\/Main_Page\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Internet Movie Firearms Database<\/a> open on their phones while we watch), of course I ended up discoursing on the Buntline Special during breaks.<\/p>\n<p>This is a pretty good short video hitting some of the main points on the Buntline Special and Wyatt Earp.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r22-axv58jE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Bonus: I don&#8217;t usually link to hickok45 since you should already be watching him. But I&#8217;m making an exception here because: &#8220;Cimarron Wyatt Earp Buntline Special&#8221; which is (as I understand it) an exact replica of the movie gun. And hickok45 also discourses some more on Buntline history.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SOJ3hjEv36w\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cimarron-firearms.com\/pub\/media\/wysiwyg\/uploads\/2020-Cimarron-Catalog.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cimarron lists them in their 2020 catalog<\/a>. Bud&#8217;s lists them as out of stock, but says they are a special order item.<\/p>\n<p>It is kind of a good looking gun. And I want something in the Colt Single Action Army style. But:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have the same problem hickock45 has with the 10&#8243; barrel length: it just doesn&#8217;t seem handy.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m really not sure how well these guns are made (though hickock45 seems to think they&#8217;re okay).<\/li>\n<li>What I really want in the SAA style is&#8230;an actual Colt Single Action Army in .45 Colt, not a substitute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(I do have a New Frontier in .22 LR, but I&#8217;m thinking of trading that off.

At that time, he said, Wyatt carried a Colt S.A.A. with a 5-1\/2-inch barrel. Thorp claimed Earp told him, &#8220;I don&#8217;t like a gun with a longer barrel. Sometimes an inch or two makes a difference when you want to jerk it quickly.&#8221;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hyLWrKh2fB0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Side note #2: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josephine_Earp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Josephine Earp<\/a>, which I also find interesting: especially the part about &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Josephine_Earp#Book_I_Married_Wyatt_Earp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I Married Wyatt Earp<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written before about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsfirings.com\/?p=17754\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Devil At Your Heels&#8221;<\/a>, the Canadian documentary about Ken Carter and his five-year attempt to do a one-mile jump over the St. Lawrence River.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who might have been wondering and didn&#8217;t check Wikipedia: &#8220;Ken Carter &#8211; Stuntman To The End&#8221;.
