That DE-10 is a recreation of the popular "Walker Magnum" (Also known as the Colt WalkerDragoon)
This was the very first pistol to ever fire a magnum load with reliable service. (Up until then, firing magnum loads was often very dangerous)
Itswieghtisquite hefty to absorb the beastly recoil and was carried by the Texas Rangers during the CivilWar. And was quite welcome...
It was often fabled in manystorys, for example, Walker and his Rangers (Not the TV show Walker...) held off 200 angry mexicans with nothing but thier side-arms!
This weapon is lengendary! It has shaped modern pistols since it was created, this was the workhorse, the pistol that paved the way for modern firearms!
This DE-10pistolis amazing, I cant wait to get one now!
I know this information becuase I shoot a walker magnum in the Civil War Reenactments ![]()
(Oh and in case you are wondering, I do have a Colt Walker Dragoon)
