Video - Shooting a gussied-up Smokewagon from Taylor's & Co.

[duelist1954]

In this video I'm shooting one of my prettiest single action revolvers; a Taylor's & Co Smokewagon with Doug Turnbull metal finishes and a set of monogramed ivory grips from Nutmeg Sports.

The name "Smokewagon" sure sounded funny to me, so I looked it up.
Sure enough it's an archaic American slang term for a handgun, especially for a revolver.

Uberti or Taylor's sure did their homework when they selected that name for it.
At first I thought a smoke wagon was a traveling smoked meat or sausage wagon of some sort, like a kind of chuck wagon.
But no joke, that's one slick gun and you're one slick shooter with it too!

Great video. That's a beautiful revolver, too! And I like the way that you intimidated the plate rack!
