O.K. this is a good show concerning the peeler detectives of 1889 London in their crime-fighting mode. I really do like the show but that old devil reality creeps on me + I can't watch a show with another who is firearms ignorant. 2 nights ago in a prison break they were using 1897 Winchesters, last night they were using 2nd generation S+W revolvers + Colt New Services. And this was supposed to be 1889, right. It is entertaining though + I will keep watching + keep my mouth shut because no one else cares.

CougarzI look at movies and tv shows the same way. One of my favorites are how often revolvers are actually not even loaded. I guess the average viewer doesn't notice the chambers.
My wife just tells me "it's just a show get over it".

lee440I can't remember the name of the English show on PBS, a dark haired lady socialite in the 1920's running around solving murders armed with a gold plated S&W Chiefs Special that was not invented until 1950.

NormanConquestThat was the "Miss Fisher" series. Also, the next time you watch McClintock; when the Indians are stealing the crates of rifles in the late 1880s, the rifles are Krags. Like I said I've learned to keep my mouth shut. I used to be the guy who would sound off in the theatre as well as the living room about this kind of thing. Nobody really cares though.
