Excellent show! Musta been great shootin' all those real period guns. Lotta smoke & there was even a pretty strong breeze clearing it away, but it's evident that this is where we get the old phrase,"....and when the smoke had cleared...." Thanks for the vicarious participation 😊.
I was about to fall asleep, and then this popped up. I've been waiting to see this for some time. I wish I could have been there. Dave twig and your other guests sure sound like my kind of guys. It's great to see people who love the firearms and the history get to shoot originals. I am glad I was able to help make it happen. Thanks again, santee
Good morning Arizona Ghost Riders. This is Ted from Texas. Did you actually get a single action Colt first generation of your very own? Look forward to the day to meeting you and shaking your hand man. Remember be safe and always do your ABCs
That was very interesting. I bet you three enthusiasts had an awesome time, Santee. The history of each of those three firearms must be amazing.👏🏻🤠🤠🤠👏🏻
I've had the great fortune to handle Colt revolvers belonging to the son of an old gun fighter and lawman from the Arizona Mexico Border. The pistols were late 1800's early 1900's. The lawman was named Jim Hathaway. In addition we got to shoot a .50-90 Trapdoor Springfield. All these were shot with blackpowder. I also got to handle a rifle that was carried by I believe Chief Whitebird. If I remember correctly it was a trapdoor Springfield also. It was damaged on the wood stock and fore grip from fire in the early 1900's. This weapon belong to a rancher and Historian Bob Weatherly in Asotin , Washington in 1970. I was working for him when I was15. Both of those old gentlemen were very interesting and somewhat historical in their own right.
@@martincolvill5453the older rancher I worked for was Bob Weatherly. He was Captain in the Navy in WW2 and was in his mid to late 50's in 1970. He was part of the Centennial Wagon Train back to Washington DC and it seems he had a small copy of the liberty bell that was made in Washington State. He wrote several books about Washington State and Pacific Northwest History.
Thanks, Santee. It's always interesting to see the reality of how something worked. Looking at all the smoke reveals the other meaning to 'the fog of war.' Oh, Santee. Not sure why you shot the guy at the card table. He never said you were cheating. He asked if you had any cheetos. You must have gone a little deaf from all that shooting earlier.
Fantastic video, Santee! I was your 400th Like on this one. Ah, those heavy hammer springs. Had to be. Sometimes you got a hard primer. Had to make sure the round went off. Those primers aren't Millennials. Gentle slap won't work. 😉
First time I've seen a working Colt Lightning being shot in a video. Would love to see more of it actually. All the other examples I've seen have been broken or were just shown in front of camera and talked about.
He shot blanks through it, because we had no rounds made up for that gun. Also, gotta be careful with originals because the metallurgy is different and they are dang old!
Goodness! That's a beautifully aged six gun if I've ever seen one! Hope your lungs are ok after all that smoke though, just goes to show rapid fire back then had nasty drawbacks and we should be more thankful for smokeless powder to let us put more lead on target more accurately.
@Arizona Ghostriders, was the Sharps "1874" Rifle actually available in 1871 I thought I heard that in a previous video on the channel, but I dont remember.
I'd love to try a first-generation Colt SAA out, but I can live with the reproductions too. They are simply amazing and beautiful firearms and will always have a very special place in my heart. Thanks for sharing!
Folks who have never shot real black powder (BP) sometimes have a hard time understanding just how impenetrable the smoke can be. Videos do NOT do the obscuration justice. At a state level Cowboy Action championship I shot a full 40 grains of 3F under a 250 grain Pigeon Roost Slim bullet from a pair of 3 1/2" barrel Sheriff model birdshead revolvers. High humidity (a rarity here in Wyoming), and virtually no wind (not rare...UNHEARD of here!) meant that after just a couple shots, no one could see nuthin'. Spotters, the timer, and spectators were coughing and crying about their eyes burning. I don;t know if I've ever smiled so much! Also explains why some shootouts in saloons- some with low ceilings and a few dim oil lamps- resulted in no hits despite the two combatants standing only a few feet from one another and emptying their guns at one another. Miss with the first shot and they were just flangin' bullets in the general direction of their opponent.
The original loads were definitely stout for the revolvers. Once I accidentally brought my 38 gr FFg/250 grain ammo to a cowboy action match (instead of my usual downloaded charges) and at the first shot I almost dropped my gun. I sure got a lot of laughs and comments from the other shooters that had to inhale all that smoke as I shot 24 shots in 30 seconds. (That's 10 rifle, 10 revolver, and 4 shotgun, for those of you that don't know Cowboy Action shooting.)
I also reproduce the original Army 45 Colt load of 30gr of FFFG and a 250 gr bullet for my SAA and my open top in 45 Colt both Uberti revolvers. Thanks for the vidio.
I picked up a bucket list item yesterday. A first gen Colt 1873 with most of the bluing intact and stil has rifling down the barrel. A bit of frost but what can you do. Made in 1913. Caliber .38-40 to match my Winchester 1892. I feel really lucky on the price too.
Interesting stuff Santee! Nothing like the smell of black powder! Say while i gotcha, what is the black hat you wear in most of your videos? Thanks in advance Pard
I have an Uberti reproduction SAA Cattleman. I reload and cast my bullets. I found a 255 grain mold and loaded a bunch up with the original 255 grain bullet and 40 grains of Pyrodex, you are correct, it kicks like a mule. 🤕 When I started shooting with black powder the first thought that I had was the old westerns with large shootouts, there is no way that they could see each other in such large shootouts to aim with all of the smoke. 🤣
I may not have any older guns. But I do love my Heritage roughriders single action revolvers. Colt reproductions. I grew up in 70's., wanted to be cowboy/ ranch hand There is just something about those old western gun. Maybe it click of the hammer or spinning of the cylinder. Have a great weekend.
Damn. I wish I had friends that would give gifts like that. The last authentic Colt SAA I saw was for sale in downtown Santa Fe for almost $10k. It wasn't even a 1st Gen! Though I don't know where I'd keep one.
WOW Santee you lucky guy! All those older firearms and shooting them heaven on Earth. After being the curator of those I'd find it hard and sad to return them. That badge is cool. Santee does that make you the only law west of the Pecos now? 🤠🇺🇲
In another 150 years from now, some Western archeologists will happen on your shooting site, and after excavation, will pronounce it as being one of the last gunfight sites of the Old West. "It appears that the posse tracked the outlaws to this little ravine and commenced firing with a variety of weapons. Apparently the outlaws never had a chance to fire back as dozens of bullets were found in the dirt. Perhaps they escaped in the confusion and smoke. Oddly enough, dinosaur tracks were also found in the area. More study is needed." 😮😃
Wow. At some point you’re going to have to do a shooting video with either / both Jed I TV and / or Dustin Winegar of Guns of the West. Or maybe bring the Ghostriders to a SASS event and do a highlights video.
@Arizona Ghostriders. Santee, are you going to do a historical review of Lawmen: Bass Reeves once the season ends? I would love to know how accurate the show is.
Those are some beautiful old weapons. I know that you did a video on the Spencer carbine. I've probably watched it three or four times. I'd like to see you revisit that. I just got blessed with one in 45 Colt and am hooked.
That young Whipper-Snapper (see what I did there 🤭) sure has some excellent old beauties in his collection. It was nice of him to let you old guys play with one 😁
Paul Harrell did a video about how well these kinds of weapons would have done against the log cabins common in the old west (no adobe version for the South Westers;). It's one of his earliest videos from nine years back so you'll have to bear with the video quality but it has some good information.
I am so envious right now. Nice shootin irons y'all got to play with. Bad thing about real black powder is that it obscures your target and gives away your position. Great video as always.
I'll be honest some of your cut away gags absolutely catch me of guard like a swift left hook. This was one of those times with the raining tacos. Got me laughing hard.
A Lakota brave could sling abot ten arrows at you before a nervous calvary could get a trap door or even musket reloaded the repeating rifle was a game changer in the plains wars also i know a lady (shes is a trick rider for the rodeo ) and we were talking about how when escaping some would go over one side of the horse so you couldn't see or have a shot at them which I never understood why they just didn't shoot the horse out from under them but I'm getting off point ! She was showing me one day how they could shoot a bow from under the horses beck which I thought was pretty Impressive
@@ArizonaGhostriders while I don't know about permissions and safety for the situation. It would be interesting to recreate that in a set saloon just to see how smokey it would've been.
Years ago, when I was a teenager. I had a friend who owned an old house in the middle of nowhere. he was tearing it down, we thought it would be fun to shoot black powder 45 colt inside the house. 3 of us faced Towards a wall that had a hill on the other side of the house. We fired 5 rounds each, it was so Smokey you could barely see anything.
Sometimes the air is still in the woods of north Louisiana, unlike the open range of Arizona, that black powder will linger around for a while in your shooting area and beyond. One time during a shooting session, a big fog of black powder hovered still across my yard and pond for about 20 minutes before it dissipated. Great video! Looks like a lot of fun
Fuel injected turbo carb blower. The only problem with this test is yer testin at a higher rpm than anyone will ever take off which is where ya need the torque. So down at 1500 rpm. Unless yer racing with a trailer, which I have done, no one takes off with a trailer at or above 3000. Great video and very interestin to see how much difference there is because of the power loss. Thank you.
Very interestingly informative and inspiring video, i learned a lot more anput the old west frontier and the guns that won the west. Great job and well done, keep up the great work. I got more inspiration for the old west frontier,,paranormal and frutigar aero/Y2K techno-utopian futurism story and series im working on writing and illustrating for.
That was awesome Santee. It looked like you guys had a great time shooting them old guns. The badge looks great and btw I’m like #155 on the thumbs up scale.
Even back in 1874, if you wanted the performance the 1873 Colt SAA was designed for, you would have to load your own or find a gunsmith who would. Very educational, gentlemen. Thank you.
Even though the military made the change, you could still buy the full power 45 colt 40 grain 2f 255 grain bullet, commercially all the way up until the 1940s.
I have a question for you my good friend did they have big looped lever actions rifles in the old west or was that just one of Hollywood guns that turned into a western gun of the old legends like John Wayne in the 1930 film stagecoach when he first did the The first rifle spin with his rifle that he's used in all of his John Wayne films
@@ArizonaGhostriders wow I thought it was actually made by the Winchester company and everything they even did the same thing with the mules leg of Steve McQueen's gun and bounty Hunter but his gun was a 45 Long Colt with 4570 bullets and the bullet loops The gun belt What else did Hollywood make for Westerns and guns
hanks again Santee & Co. That looked like a lot of fun . Today I passed the South Carolina Concealed Weapon Permit course using my 1911 handgun . Instructor Mike is a US Coast Guard veteran . Once I get my fingerprints and package in I should receive my permit in about two to three months . South Carolina and Arizona recognize each other's carry permits .
@@ArizonaGhostriders I don't own any 150 year old guns , but I own a Model 1896 Swedish Mauser built by the Carl Gustav weapons factory in the 1920s or so .
I see all those Colt Six Shooter operators had the proper cylinder load -- five shots. One chamber never loaded for a safety. Of course in a Injun Fight, you'd probably want to load all six.
Or a street fight. Although there was no official "rule" about that, it's definitely interesting. It was, after all, called a SIX shooter. Makes you wonder. Curly Bill had six in his when he shot Fred White. The Tunnel Saloon shootout had 11 shots fired. So....someone was carrying 6!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Some one-legged ex-cowboys became Cookies, pushing a chuckwagon, but most died of infection or gangrene if their leg wasn't ablated by a doctor or good barber in time. No antibiotics, then. Rules? It was the West. No Rules West of the Pecos.
Excellent show! Musta been great shootin' all those real period guns. Lotta smoke & there was even a pretty strong breeze clearing it away, but it's evident that this is where we get the old phrase,"....and when the smoke had cleared...." Thanks for the vicarious participation 😊.

great show Santee, wow, , and the flash from appaloosa, well don Lad.
Thank You!
That was awesome Santee. It looked like you guys had a great time shooting them old guns. The badge looks great and btw I’m like #155 on the thumbs up scale.
Awesome!! Thanks
Well one thing is after the first shoot. Everyone knows where your at .😳
True that.
Gotta love it when you get trigger time with original old west gins, thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
Awesome video lots of smoke too. If only those guns could talk. Would be lots of stories to tell.
Yep!
Loved this video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are so welcome!
Looks like somebody had way too much fun.
Never
Even back in 1874, if you wanted the performance the 1873 Colt SAA was designed for, you would have to load your own or find a gunsmith who would. Very educational, gentlemen. Thank you.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Even though the military made the change, you could still buy the full power 45 colt 40 grain 2f 255 grain bullet, commercially all the way up until the 1940s.
I have a question for you my good friend did they have big looped lever actions rifles in the old west or was that just one of Hollywood guns that turned into a western gun of the old legends like John Wayne in the 1930 film stagecoach when he first did the The first rifle spin with his rifle that he's used in all of his John Wayne films
That's just a Hollywood invention.
@@ArizonaGhostriders wow I thought it was actually made by the Winchester company and everything they even did the same thing with the mules leg of Steve McQueen's gun and bounty Hunter but his gun was a 45 Long Colt with 4570 bullets and the bullet loops The gun belt What else did Hollywood make for Westerns and guns
That looked like lots of fun! I'm jealous!
It was!
I would love to see a collaboration with Gun Jesus.
Maybe one day.
That was awesome! Love them old shootin irons!!!
Thank You!
When you said let’s shoot at the start, I thought you all were going to do pew pew lol 😂
Oops! I shoulda
Vintage guns vintage ammo loads an target shoots wit friends. Finished off wit tacos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ cant go wrong
Great guns, friends AND tacos.
Yep!
hanks again Santee & Co. That looked like a lot of fun . Today I passed the South Carolina Concealed Weapon Permit course using my 1911 handgun . Instructor Mike is a US Coast Guard veteran . Once I get my fingerprints and package in I should receive my permit in about two to three months . South Carolina and Arizona recognize each other's carry permits .
Great and congrats. Didn't know SC and AZ recognize each other's permits. CooL!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I don't own any 150 year old guns , but I own a Model 1896 Swedish Mauser built by the Carl Gustav weapons factory in the 1920s or so .
@@victorwaddell6530 That's darned cool!
I see all those Colt Six Shooter operators had the proper cylinder load -- five shots. One chamber never loaded for a safety. Of course in a Injun Fight, you'd probably want to load all six.
Or a street fight. Although there was no official "rule" about that, it's definitely interesting. It was, after all, called a SIX shooter. Makes you wonder. Curly Bill had six in his when he shot Fred White. The Tunnel Saloon shootout had 11 shots fired. So....someone was carrying 6!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Some one-legged ex-cowboys became Cookies, pushing a chuckwagon, but most died of infection or gangrene if their leg wasn't ablated by a doctor or good barber in time. No antibiotics, then.
Rules? It was the West. No Rules West of the Pecos.
@@HootOwl513 Right, that's why there was no "proper cylinder load."
So enjoyable! I loved this episode.
Glad to hear it!
You need to add those badges to your merch items.
Yeah, maybe one day.
What movie was that clip from please?
Appaloosa
Great video. Bee-U-tee-ful firearms.

It was!
