"Left-handed" single action revolvers
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2011 1:50 pm
Reading in John Taffin's "Single Action Sixguns".
Bill Grover's Texas Longhorn Arms made their SA revolvers with the gate and ejector on the left side. Grover felt other SA revolvers were "left-handed" because right-handed shooters had to switch them to the left hand to load and unload. A TLA revolver never had to leave your right hand.
Texas Longhorn Arms lasted 17 years and closed in 1998, and Bill Grover died in 2004. Less than 3000 guns in four basic models were made. From what I read, they were extremely good.
