Buffalo Bill's 1873 was not your average Winchester. His had a smooth barrel for shooting shot for tricks in his wild west show.

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the company, Winchester is making a couple of commemorative editions. The guns look sharp. If you’re looking for a safe queen, these two guns may be ideal. We got to see them first hand at the show. They’ll be available soon, and only for this anniversary year. There won’t be another until the 200th anniversary, so act now if you want one.
