The “Bad” And The “Ugly” Join Cimarron Firearms’ “Good” Revolvers
Cimarron Firearms has introduced two new revolvers to complete “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” gun trilogy. Cimarron Firearms specializes in quality and authenticity in Old West replica firearms. Their movie gun replicas has been especially popular with shooters who are Western movie buffs. So now, the company’s The Man with No Name conversion revolver will be joined by notorious partners, Tuco and Angel Eyes.
Guns Based On Those In The Classic Movie
“Our Hollywood movie replicas have always been a favorite for Cimarron fans and our 1851 Man with No Name Conversion Revolver, designed after the gun carried by Clint Eastwood in ‘The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly’ has been a big seller,” VP of Retail Operations, Bryce Wayt, said. “We knew we needed to complete the trilogy by introducing replicas based on the guns carried by that fast-talking Mexican bandit, Tuco, and that cold-blooded mercenary, Angel Eyes.”
The 1966 movie, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” the Spaghetti Western directed by Sergio Leone and filmed in Italy and Spain, depicted the violent clashes of three gunslingers brought together by circumstance and the lure of buried Confederate gold. The action takes place during the American Civil War, specifically during the New Mexico Campaign of 1862.
Cimarron’s Tuco A Faithful Reproduction
Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez, known as Tuco in the film, was played by actor Eli Wallach.
At the beginning of the film, Tuco configures his gun by assembling parts from various other guns in a shop. Cimarron Firearms designed and Uberti manufactured, the “Tuco” is a faithful reproduction of the one created in the movie. The Tuco is a conversion revolver in .45 Colt with a Leech and Rigdon-style 7.5-inch barrel with a loading level. It is finished in a cold case-hardened blue with a brass trigger guard and grip frame with a smooth wood grip and white lanyard ring.
Angel Eyes Based On The 1858 Remington
Lee Van Cleef played the steely-eyed contract killer named “Angel Eyes” by Clint Eastwood’s character “Blondie” after proving to be quite a marksman with his revolver. Cimarron Firearms team carefully studied the gun carried by Angel Eyes to have Pietta produce a gun the mercenary Angel Eyes would be proud to carry.
The 1858 Remington-style, single-action, black powder revolver is available in .44 with an 8-inch barrel.
It has a cold case-hardened frame with a brass trigger guard and grip frame, smooth wood grip, and Angel Eyes engraving on the frame.
For fans of the ultimate Eastwood Spaghetti Western, the Tuco and Angel Eyes will complete a collection that will be the envy of any Hollywood film enthusiast. For more information on Cimarron Firearms and accessories, go to www.Cimarron-Firearms.com.
