I did not limit the choice to firearms made by the original maker but expanded the choices to clone guns. After all, the excellent Pietta and Uberti clones give many of us affordable glimpses into the past with high-quality firearms intended for as much use as the shooter may afford or stand up to.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Mobile and Tablet--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/contest.html?cid=contest?utm_source=CTD_Blog_AD&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_range_day_friday_mobile&amp;utm_content=square\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/rdf_may23_ad_mobile.jpg?w=640&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/rdf_may23_ad_mobile.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<h3>Colt Cap and Ball Revolvers<\/h3>\n<p>Clone guns of the Colt 1848, 1851, and 1860 black powder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/handguns\/revolvers\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=century-old-guns-you-can-still-get\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revolvers<\/a> are readily available.

The Smith and Wesson Schofield had its adherents including Dallas Stoudenmire.

The piece is reliable, formidable in action, and hits hard.<\/p>\n<p>The Colt GM is my favorite carry 1911 at present. I own several 1911 handguns including Les Baer and Wilson Combat. The Colt rides with me most often. If you want a GI-type 1911A1, there are cheap pistols available, but be warned. Many of the cheap examples don\u2019t do justice to the WWII guns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Colt stainless steel 1911 .45 ACP semi-auto handgun\" class=\"wp-image-87983 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"569\" height=\"576\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?w=569&amp;ssl=1 569w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=296%2C300&amp;ssl=1 296w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=150%2C152&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=569%2C576&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=569%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Colt stainless steel 1911 .45 ACP semi-auto handgun\" class=\"wp-image-87983\" width=\"569\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?w=569&amp;ssl=1 569w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=296%2C300&amp;ssl=1 296w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-18.jpg?resize=150%2C152&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Colt\u2019s modern, stainless-steel 1911 is among the finest handguns ever made by Colt. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Not cheap but affordable, the Auto Ordnance 1911A1 is a serviceable handgun.

Original .32 ACP pistols are more difficult to find. The pistols are carried much and fired little. A stiff double-action first-shot trigger and problematic reliability did not lead to the pistols being put out of production \u2014 far from it. The PPK is a symbol of art deco, and the pistol as a fashionable accessory.<\/p>\n<h3>High Standard Double Nine<\/h3>\n<p>An affordable double-action, swing-out cylinder .22 that looks like a cowboy gun (down to a fake ejector rod), the Double Nine was a great all-around handgun.

The heavy receiver and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/magazines\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=century-old-guns-you-can-still-get\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">box magazine<\/a> led to Elmer Keith remarking that the rifle resembled a pregnant possum that had been roasting in the sun. A dead one at that\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I like the \u201995. This rifle is reliable and fires powerful cartridges leaving pistol-caliber carbines and the .30-30 WCF far behind. Leverage is adequate. If need be, you may take a rapid follow-up shot. The 1895 rifle will take game out to 200 yards in good hands.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"502\" alt=\"modern Browning marked 1895 is chambered in .30-06\" class=\"wp-image-87994 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?resize=300%2C235&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?resize=150%2C118&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?resize=640%2C502&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?resize=640%2C502&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"modern Browning marked 1895 is chambered in .30-06\" class=\"wp-image-87994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?resize=300%2C235&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Guns-you-can-get-29.jpg?resize=150%2C118&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The author\u2019s modern Browning marked 1895 is chambered in .30-06.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>My rifle features modern aperture sights.
