Cowboy guns have such a tradition and lore. Doing what I can to keep grandsons intrigued with their use.
I have a few, but no two alike.
Levers in .22LR, .22MRF, .30-30, .44M and .45Colt. Made by Browning, Marlin and Henry.
Coach gun and double in 12, 20, .410
Ruger Blackhawk .30Carnine, .357M, .41M, .44M, .45C, and 3 Single Six .22LR/.22M

21yo grandson chose a Marlin in .45-70 and a chooter in .357.
17yo grandson prefers to hunt with 20ga SxS. He prefers a 1911 and deer hunts with a Mosin.
12yo grandson wears a double rig of Single Sixes, lever .22LR and .410 SxS for Cowboy Action. Though, he prefers the .44 lever rifle to deer hunt.

Mine are "modern" cowboy pieces. I try to collect Marlin levers and Ruger single actions in the same calibers.
I need a Marlin 94 in .32H&R and one in .22mag to take care of my current "shortage".

My complete pairs consist of .22lr, .32-20, .357, .41, .44, and .45.

Will start seriously looking for both in .44-40 pretty soon. Got to build up the kitty.

Fun guns ...
Revolvers are from Taylor's. An 1860 Long Cylinder in 45 Colt and a Taylor's Smoke Wagon Deluxe in 45 Colt.
The Winchester Trapper is in 44 Magnum and Stoeger Coach Gun "Supreme" was tuned by Jim FInch.

I grew up watching Roy Rogers and all the Ojala trained movie & TV gunslingers. Glen Ford was considered one of the best by Ojala.
I had a Red Ryder BB gun and a Mattel Fanner 50 gun rig and lots of caps
I had a horse toss me on my ass one time for shooting that Fanner 50 while in the saddle
I got to shoot some cool old single actions, lever guns and Winchester 1887 and 1897 shotguns owned by all the old men I grew up around.
These days I have a Ruger Bisley Vaquero and a Rossi 92 both in 45 Colt, a 3030 Winchester model 94 and my 1897 shotgun.
Was a time I could fast draw pretty quick and run a lever gun well, Hit well at distance with a big bore Ruger from shooting IHMSA matches
I think about selling off most of my modern guns and stick with what I enjoy more. Trying to live life better. “The Cowboy Way”
I feel the same way. Theirs a weird dynamic in the gun culture that feels like a rat race. It’s interesting to me that a quality 1911, ruger Blackhawk, or quality marlin or Winchester are as good today as they have ever been.

I just inherited a late 60's model 94 Winchester 3030 unfired with hang tag owners manual and box
