ACCOKEEK, Md. (January 22, 2019) – The history of the Old West is filled with tales of wild gunfights, mid-day robberies and romance that still captivates us today. Uberti USA brings these memories to light with the extension of their limited-edition Outlaws & Lawmen Series.

Uberti USA pays homage to two of the most famous gunfighters of the Old West with the introduction of the Bonney 1873 Cattleman and Wild Bill 1851 Navy Conversion replica revolvers. The revolvers draw inspiration from William “Billy the Kid” Bonney and James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok.

The legend of Billy the Kid has been a cornerstone of Old West lore since Bonney met his demise at the hands of Lincoln County Sherriff Pat Garrett in 1881. Throughout most of Bonney’s notorious life as a gunfighter, the young shooter carried an 1873 Colt Single Action Army revolver. This ubiquitous revolver was holstered on Bonney’s belt in the only known image ever taken of the outlaw. Known as The Peacemaker, the iconic revolver is known as “The Gun That Won the West.”

Chambered in .45 Long Colt, the Bonney 1873 Cattleman features a simulated bison horn bird’s head grip, color case frame and blued steel barrel measuring 5 ½ inches. The six-shot weighs in at 2.3 pounds and has an overall length of 11 inches. The Bonney 1873 Cattleman gives Old West fans a way to relive the wild times of the West with a revolver that looks as good as it shoots. Read more

Fort Smith, Ark. (January 22, 2019)– The Umarex® Hammer, being built in the USA, is the most powerful .50 caliber production airgun on the planet and it achieves its speed and power without gun powder.

The Hammer was conceived, designed and engineered in America and is being built in the U.S.A. Its production assembly is taking place in Fort Smith, Arkansas within the facility of Umarex USA and is set to begin in March 2019. “It’s been exciting to see the concept come to fruition right here in the states. Now we’re seeing the final parts inspected, measured and verified. The production cell and process has come together and seeing all of this has made it well worth the wait,” said Richard Turner, President of Umarex USA, Inc. “There’s no better team of hunting and shooting enthusiasts and no better air rifle to start building in Fort Smith than the Hammer. The whole process represents the powerful innovation that our company’s German founders started in the 70’s.” Turner went on to say they expect the first units to ship in March of this year.

The sheer energy, speed and three full-power shots delivered by the .50 caliber Umarex Hammer is achieved by its proprietary, patent-pending, Lightspeed™ valve. The innovative engineering used to design this internal mechanism coupled with a .50 caliber, 180-grain non-lead bullet exceeds 1,130 feet per second. Just as monumental, a 550-grain lead slug is responsible for the generation of its 705 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. Almost as impressive, it only takes two pounds of effort to operate its straight-pull bolt. This short, effortless, bolt action is all that’s required to cock the rifle and advance the magazine.
