The S&W 617 Mountain Gun looks like the .22 LR K-frame woods revolver a lot of shooters have been waiting for. It shoots well, carries the right Mountain Gun attitude, and then trips over the kind of quality-control problem that makes a man shake his head twice.

The Cimarron U.S.V. Artillery brings the Colt SAA Artillery legend back with .45 Long Colt punch, Rough Riders history, and old-school sixgun swagger. It is part history lesson, part range toy, and part reminder that sometimes the old ways still hit hardest.

The 1858 Remington revolver brought solid-frame confidence, serious accuracy, and black powder attitude to the handgun world. More than a century later, its smoke, steel, and cartridge-conversion potential still make it one of the most appealing replica revolvers you can shoot.

The new Deputy Dual Cylinder brings back that Old West, single-action look, but adds something you didn’t get back then: real versatility.

Chiappa Firearms took the iconic Colt 1873 Single Action Army blueprint and pushed it in a direction most purists probably didn’t see coming.

Colt finally gave the Python its polished blue skin back, and the 3-inch version might be the sweet spot of the whole line. It looks like a safe queen, carries like a serious belt gun, and shoots well enough to make you forgive a few snake-like quirks.

Smith & Wesson trims the fat and tunes what matters. Better sights, a cleaner trigger, and the same pocketable J-frame footprint make this a smart carry refresh.

Chiappa scales up the Rhino revolver to handle .44 Magnum, reinforcing the frame and cylinder while keeping its low-bore, bottom-firing design.

Midwest Industries’ Bounty Hunter series adds modular stocks, arm braces, and shell holders to large-frame revolvers, aiming to improve control and field versatility.
