American Genius Colt vs Wesson

Thanks very much for the prompt, courteous and knowledgeable response. While I have always been interested in in both history and firearms, I have only been an amateur. You really know what you are talking about and explain it very clearly.

Thanks for the rep.

It's a pity that info is not presented in 11th grad history class. Usually I got to brush on the info when some kid asked "why did they stand in lines and shoot at each other" but it definitely was not approved HS curriculum.

I was fortunate to have a couple of professors during grad school that were willing to allow me to present research papers on firearms development so they would have a "one up" on technology development.

People do not realize that there are watermark years for technology development that allowed the settlement of our nation. It was easy to get young innocent minds to research peaceful technology, but it took a crusty old man like me to provide them with information on the tools of violence.

1836 was a big one and included Colt's Patent. In fact there was a series of patents that opened the west in the 1830s. Mc Cormic's reaper, Colt's revolver, John Deere's Steel plow. The prairies could now be farmed and protected. That allowed expansion right out to the 100th meridian.

Another was 1873 with the introduction of the Colt SSA, Winchester '73, invention of the deep well pump windmill and barbed wire. That allowed the entry of farmers onto the western plains with water, barbed wire to protect their crops, and the firearms needed to protect themselves.

Walking in a straight line was pretty dumb even when smooth bore was the boom stick of the day. By the time WWI rolled around it was simply an exercise in how to commit suicide. Rifled barrels didn't leave much room for error across 100 yards of open land. And machine guns certainly changed the face of walking fire. It was a lesson hard learned by the British and others at places like at Gallipoli, Picardi and Cambrai.

One nice thing about being a civilian, one can embrace new technology as soon as one can afford the new technology.

Then there is that thing about "tradition". I belonged to a club that split over some of the members wanting to shoot their EBRs at the club range. That was back in the '80s.

The older members never could get it into their heads that the AR and AK rifles were no different in use than their wood and parkerized M1 rifles and carbines. In fact, the first time I ever heard the term "evil black rifle" was from one of the old geezers that opposed their use on that range.

I have to admit that I am just now getting completely over that stigma. It was not until after I realized how handy a folding stock AK was in the woods that I joined the club whole heartedly.

And there is that continuing thing about the polymer framed pistols.....
