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 😊.
Yeah, it was definitely interesting!
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
Definitely a fan. You did great work on that Colt's SAA
Thanks!! Are you the Dave Rogers in this video?
@@snappers_antique_firearms I am. I will shoot you a private message with my contact information.
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.👏🏻🤠🤠🤠👏🏻
It was pretty amazing, thanks.
150 years! Congrats to us all 🎉 I must watch this with more time and to the end...
CooL!
What an awesome day you guys had thar!
I'd say!
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!
when Dave Rodgers is around shnanigans are sure to follow lol ... another good video Santee.
Both Dave's are dangerous in the shenanigans category!
No judge has convicted me of said shenanigans yet thanks to Santee's editing skills.
'nope never convicted ' lol Rico-@@davidrodgers8252
1873 was a pretty special year!😃 Very interesting video production.
Yes! Thank you!
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.
There's an excitement that can't be described, right?
In the 80s, I was a deputy Sheriff for Asotin County, home base was Asotin, WA.
@@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.
What an amazing day, wow!! That had to be a blast 😉
The best!
A lot of history there. Thanks for sharing compadre.
Glad you enjoyed it. A fun one, for sure.
Excellent Episode and the Badge is simply outstanding and much deserving. Uber cool!
Thank You!
This is awesome. Not gonna lie, am really jealous. Looks like an amazing day!
it was!!!
It’s really great to see the wonderful Historical Guns That Won The West. Thank you Santee keep up the great work 👍🏼
Thank You!
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.
Cheetos?? Whoops. Sorry!
🤣
Awesome, Santee! I bet you really got a kick out of it! 😉🤠
Oh yes.
That looked like a great day of shooting. Loved learning about the old cartages. Tacos' looked great also. Thanks Santee and have a great weekend. :)
Thanks Jim!
Outstanding! Great friends!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Yes they are
Really amazing to see all those great old firearms! Thank you 🤠 👍
🤠

Much appreciated, Marco!
that looks like so much fun! Thanks Santee
It was!
What a spectacular video. One of your best. Thanks, Santee!
Wow, thanks!
That was a good episode. It makes me long to have started collecting the old west history in my youth.
Keep up the good work, Santee and friends.
Thank You!
This was a very cool video. To actually shoot a piece of history. Is amazing. Who knows where these guns have been and used for!!! Thank you Santee.
You're welcome. Yeah, I wonder about how all the nickel wore off that gun....
That had to be an awesome day! 👍
It was.
What an awesome video! It was so great to see all that awesome fire! I am LOVING that badge!!!
Me too!
Very cool! Thanks Santee.
You bet!
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!
Thank You!
That looked like lots of fun! I'm jealous!
It was!
Wish I was there, looked like all had a good time. Thanks for all the great videos, really enjoy them...
You're welcome.
Santee, it looks like you had WAY too much fun making this!
Yeah!
Gotta love it when you get trigger time with original old west gins, thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
Good morning. As always a great way to start a Saturday. Well besides a hot cup of cowboy cofee and bacon. 👍
Thank You!
great show Santee, wow, , and the flash from appaloosa, well don Lad.
Thank You!
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
No, I have a 3rd generation Colt from about 1980-ish. Although it is terrific and smooth as silk, the original is bucket list thing!
Thank you santee absolutely amazing video can't wait to see the next one
Thank You!
Loved this video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are so welcome!
thats a hell of a way to spend a day!!!
I'd say
Okay... This is cool! Sweetness at its best!!!!
Yes it is!
I love it Cowboys were truly awesome even Outlaws from Billy the Kid to the Dalton gang or the story of Tombstone all of it I love it
Good!
Great video, love the 1873 pistolas. I have a 1873 reproduction. Made by Pietta, great design 150 years ago.
They are.
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 😁
Yes, I did see that. Well done. Thank You!
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
CooL!!!
What a fun episode! Nothing like black powder for breakfast and tacos for lunch :-)
HAHA!
Great video Santee, as always I enjoyed it thank you.
You're welcome
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
Incredible video Santee. Brought a tiny tear to my eye seeing you out shooting with the guys. Looks like you had an awesome time. One day I'll find myself a nice single action and hopefully not long after we can get some shootin' in together...before we're too old to enjoy it. lol.
We will
@@ArizonaGhostriders yes we will ol friend.
Excellent video my friend. Very interesting, entertaining, and informative.
Thank you very much!
This is a great video fun and educational at the same time thanks for your time and work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another fantastic video. Very educational and interesting.
Be safe out there, and take it easy man.
Thank You!
Nicely done Santee
Thank you kindly
Great stuff Santee, that long barreled .45 looked like original Wyatt Earp head knocker ! Ha........thanks
Yeah, right?
So enjoyable! I loved this episode.
Glad to hear it!
I would have loved to have been there. Looked like a lot of fun Santee!
It was!
Looks you like you guys had a fun time
We did.
GREAT episode!
Thank You!
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'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.
Glad to hear it. I love that song. Not sure why, but it makes me feel good. So do tacos, incidentally.
Great video santee lol almost brought a tear seeing those old guns roar again.
Me too. You guys do it every week!!
Good collection of firearms
Thank You!
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.
Yep it does!
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.
Cool!
Love that south AZ country - been 9 years since I was there. Heavy sigh. It is always fun to shoot an original gun - even if you don't own it.
Yes!
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'll look, thanks
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.
Thank You!
I have all three original ones, over 140 years old; Colt, Winchester and Springfield.
Look at you!
awsome vidio thank you
Glad you liked it!
Great video Santee! Beautiful guns! Nice badge!
Thank You!
Excellent video Santee. Great weapons. I miss my M1888 Trapdoor with ramrod bayonet. Sadly it was stolen and I have never replaced it. I love 45-70! Have a great weekend!
Fun rifles!
Excellent episode Santee!.. Did you see that smoke ring at 5:35?
yes! Might be my first.
@@ArizonaGhostriders👍🤠
Weeelll… that suuure be a mighty fine badge there pardner !
(Badges ? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges… THIS badge doan’ stink ! 😁🤣)
LOL!!
All three of my favorite firearms in one video. Thanks, you Santee.
You're welcome.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh, if you need a 1873 Trapdoor Springfield, I would be happy to lend you mine.
Santee, I thought I would mention this back in the 1980s I knew a very old gentleman from Texas and when his family moved to Oklahoma, he knew Bill Tillman. He learned to use a SAA from him as a teenager. Using his wrapped around his right hand. He taught me how to do it and I can with a little practice you can stay on target and fire almost/ as fast or faster than a Double Action Revolver. His were in 44/ 40 as was his 1892 Winchester. He had some interesting stories to tell from that period. He served in WWII in the Signal Corps in France. He passed at 102 if I remember correctly.
love the smell of burnt black powder(even when I was younger my classmates didn't ) my dad got me hooked on shooting black powder
OK!!!
When you said let’s shoot at the start, I thought you all were going to do pew pew lol 😂
Oops! I shoulda
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? 🤠🇺🇲
Maybe!! LOL!
Wow this was pretty neat! The recoil when you were sitting on the chair was wicked! Hope your hand is ok!
It was an eye opener
Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks for all the work you put into your channel, I know this one was a very hard, grueling and unpleasant task for you to have to do for us. I could tell by the way you were smiling just how rough this experience was on you!
Thank you very much! We struggled with the awfulness of it.🤣
@@ArizonaGhostriders I could tell! I appreciate your sacrifice!
Great video. Bee-U-tee-ful firearms.
Yes, thanks.
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.
Huh?? Cough! Cough!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh no! He's gonna become Black Lung Santee now! D:
Great video, santee. i love the Colt single action army. It's a great firearm
I use a 4 3/4 as an everyday carry I know it so well that I can split a bullet on an axe blade. Then I have had it since 1979 or 1980 and shot it almost every day since 2002 when I bought my own farm
Thank You!
impressive!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Your most welcome
Looks like somebody had way too much fun.
Never
Super video!
Thank You!
😂 excellent episode. I do this out door shooting at least monthly up here in Idaho. I love these old iconic guns. I ha e so many of these oldies, but none are originals. Still, it's fun to get that old west feel.
Yes, it is!
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. 🤣
Yeah, I can't wait to do a video on that.
Beautiful guns! Awesome experience!
Thank You!
Oh my god, the freaking “Raining Tacos” song that came up!😂
I love it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Wasn’t trying to be insulting, it’s just that it made me laugh
@@milahancock6405 I didn't think you were. It's a funny song
You need to add those badges to your merch items.
Yeah, maybe one day.
@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.
Yep, it started production in 1871.
This is how the exchange would’ve transpired in my imagination:
“Should we get ta shootin’?”
“I reckon so.”
But, then again, I aim ta misbehave!
HAHA!
Very cool love this video
Thanks so much
@@ArizonaGhostriders thank you for doing the video
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. 😉
"Those primers aren't Millennials" - HAHAHA!
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.
Something like that.
I would love to see a collaboration with Gun Jesus.
Maybe one day.
Also known as the Guns that won our hearts
Absolutely.
Vintage guns vintage ammo loads an target shoots wit friends. Finished off wit tacos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ cant go wrong
Great guns, friends AND tacos.
Yep!
With the original powder loads imagine how smokey it got during the Long Branch Saloon gunfight.
Yeah, we're gonna look into that.
Oh yeah.
@@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.
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.
You're welcome
It's every gun in every Western movie and TV show that won the West 😁😁😏😏
Almost!
