Smythstoys Wild West Cowboy Single Toy Gun Set

Product Information

This weapon was nicknamed the poison slinger or big fifty; admittedly, there is some controversy among gun enthusiasts as to what the exact size of this caliber was. Wild Bill Hickok carried these guns in the late 1860s, and its design elements were carried through to the Colt Peacemaker.

According to the National Park Service, because of the way the rifle was loaded, soldiers would find that bullets would jam halfway up the barrel, often resulting in blow-ups of the weapon. This revolver went through two iterations before landing at the popular New Model Russian, which was manufactured between 1874 and 1878. While no single weapon ever truly “won the West,” these 10 firearms, some designed by “gun barons” like John Moses Browning, left a lasting impression on the West’s trajectory and history. Help make your child's dream come true by helping them look like a real sheriff; our Cowboy Rifle makes their imaginations possible.As described by the Clarke Museum, in the 1850s, Wells Fargo stagecoaches carried mail, passengers, money, and gold from Missouri to California, making them plump targets for desperadoes. Although gun control was surprisingly prevalent and successful in the Wild West, most people indeed owned firearms. It was said that many a western baby cut his first teeth on the sling ring of a Winchester Model 73 carbine.

This weapon was truly innovative; it allowed multiple shots to be fired from the same gun using a lever to load another round into the chamber. In a single action firearm, the user manually pulls back the hammer of the gun and then fires it with the trigger. It is from this time that the term “riding shotgun” originates, though it seems to have been invented long after the heyday of the Wells Fargo stages.
