In a lot of cases, people who like guns tend to like history. Sure, for some a firearm is simply a tool, a means to an end (a handgun for competition, a rifle for hunting, etc.). But, for many of us, the story behind the firearm is often as important as the physical product itself. For those shooters, classic guns from the Old West era can be particularly appealing, with their combination of nostalgia and the simple joy of firing them.
