hickok45 here i've got wide earps revolver can you believe that yeah he had no need of it any longer and passed it on to me and here it is i've taken pretty good care of it as you can tell so let's shoot it to honor him how's that let's just burst a water jug right away that was a joke there we caused it to leak out at least it's not a 44 magnum let's shoot that desperado down there now shoot him again yeah how about that bowling pin all right now 2 liter down there and how about nothing else because it's empty yes oh yes it is the cimarron as you can read wyatt earp butt line special okay thanks to budsgunshop.com i requested it they sent it so we really appreciate budsgunshop.coms help and i hope you do too and we're firing some good old federal ammunition in federal premium got a little 45 left getting down to the end of it i think i got something coming that better and i'll be out and uh we're lucky to have all the help we get from the sonoran desert institute sdi.edu check them out too you can learn about guns and gunsmithing and some other things so appreciate all the help makes all this possible and yes this is the button line special from cimarron and uh you know it's basically a replica of the gun used in the movie tombstone i'm sorry for those of you who believe this was wide irp's gun i shouldn't have said that because you know you're probably already screaming at somebody in the other room hey guys got wide herbs revolver you believe that probably didn't do that did you so uh yeah it's got the real silver inlay that is real silver inlay in the grips and it is if you've seen the movie tombstone and if not why not i mean i'm not a movie promoter you know but uh you know that if you like these sorts of firearms you like good movies it's it's pretty good movie and this is uh the farm that's presented to with the white earth that he pulls out i got the drawer in that movie okay it's a replica of it uh samurai it's made you know i think it's pieta uh maybe or uh uberty everything is made by you birdie i always assume or pieta or in italy but for cimarron and uh i hear gunfire in the distance the sound of freedom right uh this is a button-line special it's the button line you've probably heard about it you've seen them in the movies and we're gonna shoot it and talk a little bit about that uh first of all it seems to be a pretty nice pistol i've shot it a few times the sights are right on and that's not always the case in fact it's rarely the case with a colt single action or a clone they usually they print high a little low not as much left and right the windage is usually pretty good on them but they just almost always print high or low uh i mean the sides do you know some shooters always print higher low left or right right uh but uh it sells for around seven or eight hundred bucks and it's got a long barrel 10 inch barrel uh it's made kind of like the old ones in terms of the black powder frame you got a screw here to take the base pin out it's also a safety and we'll i'll show you some of that but uh it's a modern firearm it's it's i mean it's a modern firearm it might have been made one month ago yes okay so it's not an old firearm it did not belong this one to wider and i'm gonna shoot a couple more times kind of while i'm yacking but uh it's a cold when we say colt clone i've got some other guns on the table for a reason there's a reason each one of them is here i'm gonna briefly uh compare or talk about and we'll see three of those are colts and this just means they operate the same way they're basically the same dimensions and you know uh grips and cylinders and everything they're basically the same firearm not that you can interchange parts even the colts are not you're not able to interchange parts you're not like like modern firearms or riggers or anything like that so let's shoot a few more and uh because i'm really pleased that the sights are right on okay i shouldn't have told you that i would have had at least a little excuse for missing wouldn't i all right so doing the old cowboy load load one skip and load four more all right caulk it and it goes down on an empty chamber all right so we need to start out with a little pot smoking here just to get in the right mood get the right frame of mind hit a can a tin can i'm sure wyde earp shot a few 10 cans in his day i don't know if he shot a 2 liter or not i think we're empty no we're not i didn't count my rounds now we are all right shot the tree the empty it's half cocked just like a colt so it's a cult clone and you push out the empties try not to scratch up the firearm that's where my my large hands help you notice i have a kind of a system there where they pop out they're not against the grip or anything and that works for me really well so yeah so by and large this is a nice firearm cimarron imp so they import these they they talk to the makers over there and they give them the specs they want on a lot of these farms in fact i'm sorry i forgot the guy's name the owner of uh i've actually changed an email with him a couple three years ago really good fella that owns this company and uh started it and i want to say smith mike smith i don't but he he uh uh he i think provided he was a collector he had a lot of colts and different guns and i think he actually provided them with a lot of the original guns for them to take and use the samples to get the measurements and designs and that kind of thing to to make firearms because he wanted them authentic and everything so the story of cimarron is pretty interesting if you read up on i'm not a cimarron salesman people call me a gun salesman i guess i am because i'm selling the hobby and the endeavor but but uh they are one of the uh the nicer uh clones there's a lot of good ones you know tailors and company that make great stuff i mean they're they're all made over in italy generally it's just uh the arrangement they have with those companies is the kind of the difference and everything the specs that they they ask for they want they pay for you know whatever but uh anyway they make generally some of the nicer ones uh okay so it seems like a good gun i'm not any trouble with it really it works if the sights are on it sells around seven eight hundred bucks if you want a colt clone and you want a bunt line with a long barrel you know this seems like a nice one if there's nothing that bothers you if you're happy enough with the color case hardening it's not colt or some others but it's not bad you know i've seen worse okay in color case hardening and in fact it's not bad at all really because a lot of them are really horrendous though the one the thing is getting some of the negatives this has the black powder frame so what they did was uh this screw here is you know on a black powder frame meaning a pre 1896 colt is what you take out in order to get the base pin out okay see it comes out and then you got it on half [ __ ] like i do and the base pin comes out and guess what then you can take the cylinder out nothing holding the cylinder in i didn't notice that yeah there we go just barely comes out there's a long one a little bit longer okay so that's how it works see here's a here's a colt now i brought this out for that reason it's a black powder frame this one was made in 1887. and you see that little screw there i have to take that out in order to get the base pen that's the same way except you notice this one has a big head on it okay so anybody that knows these firearms right away looks at that what is that okay and i'll tell you about that but you know this is nicer it's just flush with the frame and all that then they went to the other style you know in later years around 96 you know turn the century the traverse pin there in spring so you put on half [ __ ] and of course these are all empty up here and uh and you push on that and you pull the base pin out it'll come out so okay so you don't have to take a screw out now that's not a big deal though taking that screw out it's really not uh not like you're gonna take out the cylinder in the middle of a gunfight or something anyway yes when you've got time you're cleaning the firearm and all that sort of thing okay so let me put this back in and show you what i'm talking about how the the safety and this is a uh it's i think it's difficult and all the specifics but i think it's difficult to get a firearm imported into this country you know without certain safeties that just have to be on it you know and some of you all know the laws better than i do so they have to have a safety of some sort i think almost any firearm and so what they did and several companies have done is uh let's see i've got that in but i'll [ __ ] all the way back you see the the end of the base pan sticks through right right there now if the base pins all the way in so they make the base pen a little bit longer the colts won't do that i mean you know they just don't do that but it it protrudes a little bit there and when i let the hammer down it keeps the hammer from falling in you know the firing pin hitting the primer say so that's the safety when when the base pan is all the way in is the safety and you can put this screw in you tighten up the screw right there and it holds it right there there's a couple of notches in that base pin and this end of that screw goes into it and so it's not going to move all right but it's kind of weird okay i i don't like it and so i'm going to have to loosen it a little bit there we go because enough okay i'm going to loosen it i need to go half [ __ ] to full with it really so i'm going to loosen it i'm going to pull the base pin out just a little bit so if i pull out that about that much that enables the hammer to fall all the way okay now i'm going to tighten up that screw and get it in the right place i think i did there's a little groove in the base pin yeah because it goes all the way in that way there now i think it's designed this way so you can do it with your fingers so if you want to render it safe you can just grab it you don't need a screwdriver that's one thing i can figure is a reason this for this design however i've determined uh and shooting at a couple of different times with just doing that the base panel is sliding out on me it was loosening up and everything so so i'm just going to make sure that it's tight with a screwdriver so i don't have to worry about it coming out so you can see the difference see the base pin on that one's flush and all these are like that okay it's stuck all up against the frame this one has a little more length to it it's got that extra notch so it's pushed forward just a hair which means the safety is it's not sticking out in the back right that makes sense so it's just like those now and so that's the way mine would save if i owned it but you know your mileage may vary you do what you want to do okay there we go i'll make sure that doesn't loosen up okay so that's a negative on the firearm but i don't know how you get around it uh you gotta have some kind of safety apparently and and that's just that uh i bet you there's people with these firearms and it's not just the butt line special probably the standard links on some of these are like that uh they'd probably be they're probably some folks who have replaced that screw with one that goes in flush and they just don't use it as a safety my guess i don't know kind of like with the marlin rifle some people replace that crossbow safety with a pin or something okay it's a no no okay i'm not advocating but it's not illegal or anything okay so button line uh let me show you a couple more times i'm gonna shoot some of this 220 grain uh we're gonna put one on the gong we gotta try that of course here i'll do change the ammo well that'll give me an excuse so it's a pretty cool gun it shoots better and i have a metal block against these bunt lines we'll talk a little bit about and uh but it's a good shooter i'm impressed gotta put one on the gong with the barrel this long surely i can do it you never know yeah let's try that buffalo i got him but he doesn't fall let's try the ram i'm having trouble seeing that front sight i don't know where i was going okay uh somewhere other than steel right but i got the goggles what i wanted to do okay bunt line let me talk about bunt line a little bit uh i just can't help but seize the moment and uh i wanted to tell you about the gun first you know and uh you know brag on a little bit other than the uh that screw that i don't like it's a little screwy uh so it's a wide earp this is a gun that was used in the wider movie the tombstone moving everything and uh they're largely the bunt line connected with wide earp and all that is largely myth okay that's the bottom line all right colt did offer longer barrels you could order them and use a dollar an inch you could order special order and then get one any length you wanted and some people did there was even there were some around you'll see them at options with long barrels like this and even having a detachable stock and everything else okay really valuable but as far as wider that started with uh and you do your own research on it about the button line business but it is largely a myth the stewart lake who wrote the the kind of one that i won't say definitive but one of the most popular novels or books about uh white herb i've read it a long time ago [Music] i think even he has admitted it was largely fiction and ned button line these are named after uh if you read about him and and his exploits and everything i think his life was largely fiction you know wrote the dime novels supposedly got five of these and gave them to presented them to five different famous lawmen of the west bill tillman batmasterson white earp and a couple others and uh supposedly uh he in dodge city to wide earth and everything and he was kind of a fabricator from what i've read there's a lot of writing out there do some research on it don't believe anything i tell you just do some research on it but uh it is it's crazy uh the the reason they don't scholars don't give it much credence at all partly lots of reasons but uh wide earp was not even in dodge when but ned buntline was supposed to have gone there and presented it to him for one thing he was under indictment for murder and he was up in the decoders mining for gold a couple of the people he was supposed to have presented lawmen sheriffs whatever the other button lines he uh they weren't even lawmen at the time you know there's just so many holes it's just full of holes all the stories okay of course that doesn't prevent hollywood because it is kind of a cool uh novelty so how many movies have you seen or series like the one was at wide earth with uh hugh o'brien they show that on the western channel every now and then he carries one of these crazy things you know round dodge i think he carries two guns or tombstone whatever it's set and carries the thing pulls it out of these holsters it goes down to his ankle almost you know and shoots bad guys with it and all that stuff so it's kind of like billy the kid you know the left-handed gun there's movies based on him all this all through hollywood history that he was left-handed he wasn't even left-handed you know and all this lore about why they're carrying this big old long gun and there's no evidence of it there's no evidence of cult and the historical records are anything you know so anyway uh do your own research though and the other thing to me if i didn't know any of that and hadn't researched it at all myself or read any of the articles i just if someone told me now there's a famous sheriff that carried one of these i would say oh really did he know much about firearms a big old awkward long barrel gun like this that must have been fun where did you carry it you know why you know it's just on even me siding it i can pick up my seven and a half which is pretty long you know i mean you just get on site so much better even that is handier than this thing okay so i don't have a use for one you probably know that i have several colts i have had a lot of single actions i've yet to ever own one of these you all been requesting them for a lot of years do a bunt line do a button line and uh uh i was as i've told you i've done before i was looking at comments skimming through the other day it's been a couple weeks ago there it was again hey get up get out get a bunt line and do it oh man i went to bud's gun shop website and i looked up this thing i said i'm going to do a bot line okay we had enough requests of course i like these types of firearms i'm just going to do one and partly so i can let you know that whiter 99.9 uh with that kind of certainty didn't carry anything like this okay and uh that's just that's just it there's a record there's a record of his wife josie saying making the comment that i think is accurate saying the making the comment that uh that he had a long barrel revolver he liked i think that was it that was like that was kind of the line there was no more specificity to it than that or anything and and i thought well that doesn't tell me anything anyway you know somebody who doesn't own guns and shoot guns i mean think about it not to disparage his wife or anything but this is a seven and a half inch barrel that was the longest standard barrel on a colt a single action and still kind of is you know to the average person that's a long barrel and he saw he may have carried one like that seven and a half inch because a lot of people carry a four and three quarters the gunfighter length i mean that's a really handy little gun so you would see a lot of people with this and and why it may have had a few of these and so if you pulled out this one this big old thing that does seem really long so it doesn't tell me anything that his wife said he had a favorite long barrel revolver okay and then besides that the evidence pretty much shows uh it seems like the preponderance of evidence was much like my colt single actions i hate to admit it he carried he had a smith and wesson a number of model three or number three at the gunfight the okay corral which was like this i know this is a scofield a little different but it's basically the same same firearm you know the top brake one that clump from the tombstone epic epitaph whatever the newspaper had given him you know i think he claims and he says that plus eyewitnesses that he was carrying a smith and wesson number three and 44 russian or 44 american caliber i guess so so that's if someone has to bet on it that's what we pretty much i think the consensus is that's what he was carrying in that in that gun fight and then also the consensus among people who study it and kind of know the stuff uh is he didn't even own one there's no evidence for it unless he bought one later as a you know it was a lark or something just for a heck of it i mean it's it's fun to shoot it's like a rifle you can you can line it up and hit something with it but anyway just wanted to spell a little bit of that myth do your own research but it's unlikely that uh probably that he even owned anything like this much less carried it around dodge or tombstone it would be very awkward and be good he was known for batting people on the head they'd be good for that but so with the standard link so with any any gun barrel like that right so so that's my kind of take on the butt line i i can't imagine it's not no surprise to me that it's a mostly we're all myth because we know how that goes but it's because of my understanding of the practicality of it i have no desire to have one you know if i was a sheriff and i had to carry a single action i wouldn't carry that stupid things too long too awkward it also is a reminder about media isn't it you know the the dime novels the novelists things that are supposed to be non-fiction are they fiction are they non-fiction it's no different today is it social media news media you just can't really believe about 90 of what you see and what you hear and so you have to take everything with a grain of salt in fact right now you should not be believing a word i tell you right you probably should not let me shoot it one more time and i'll let you go okay all right pretty cool though again even with all that uh you might like this because you in some ways uh i'm throwing all the history at you and i'm almost acting like i'm mad about it this myth being pro promoted all these centuries or these decades but then again in the movies that brings about a life of its own and cimarron makes they make um you know the gun that clint eastwood carried and all those movies the one the snake gun the man have no name gun yeah they've got one like this and there's some of the john wayne gun the replicas of the guns john wayne carried and so for a lot of us you know we may not even care about history we care maybe some of you about the history of of hollywood you know i mean a lot of what we like and and uh shoot and buy is based on hollywood let's let's be honest clint eastwood how many guns has he sold how many decisions does he help make you know whether it's a model 29 or it's uh one of these so you know you got that side of it too oh you know what ah there i go i'm going to go ahead and take out these two liters make sure i don't waste any ammo all right because i don't have to load it up again and keep you all uh from dinner okay or lunch think of whether you're in new zealand right now or england or kentucky or india i hear from a lot of people in india they're always wanting me to send them guns i think they're really uh secretly atf agents all right i got another bullet let's shoot that big old tank over there uh yeah i will shoot the tank i heard it i think that was the last round right oh it wasn't that was the last round all right so we've got five empties in there so anyway the blunt line special from cimarron forget everything i said about wider because if you like one of these and you think it'd be fun and you've seen the movie tombstone 39 times like i have forget about the history it doesn't matter right history truth is whatever you think it is right whatever you believe it is that's all that really matters okay but i wanted to throw that in there because you know just so many myths so many myths so it's a good shooter it feels good uh it feels solid uh it you know the action i'm impressed and you know me i have a lot of colts i'm a cult snob in a lot of ways but i i don't feel a big difference it's pretty nice nice pistol i just uh i don't have a use for that long barrel and uh wide open i just don't really have a use for a barrel like that okay so anyway i'm sure it sold a lot of dime novels so life is good oh yeah that's better this is a great gun for defense oh hey didn't see you guys there uh while i've got you here i want to remind you of our friends over at talon
