Think of the Wild West for Your Next Gift Idea

From comics to movies, the American Wild West has captured our imagination. The Wild West is a blend of Western Cowboy, Hispanic and Native American cultures of the Western United States. The combination of the landscape, stories, folklore and culture makes Wild West collectibles perfect gift items for family and friends. These include Cowboy and Cowgirl products, Native American arts, pottery and gift items. From a wide range of options to choose from, finding the perfect gift can prove to be a difficult endeavor. The choice becomes much easier if the person you are shopping for is a Cowboy movies enthusiast.

Consider Replica Guns

Whether you are shopping for some Wild West memorabilia for yourself or a gift for a loved one, replica pistols and rifles are a natural choice. Some of the choice items to consider include Old West replica pistols, framed sets, Old West replica rifles and Old West replica holsters. All Wild West replica guns are of course non-firing. Although the triggers can be pulled, barrels spun or hammers cocked, they cannot fire real ammunition or blanks.

Replica pistols include replicas of guns used by Wild West heroes and villains (depending on how you want to look at it) including Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp and Kit Carson. These make for the perfect gifts or home-display items to revive the Wild West.

Frame sets include replica rifles and pistols of the favorite Wild West characters mounted on frames or plaques. The frame sets are ideal for giving as gifts or mounted for a unique Wild West display.

Old West replica rifle options include the Old West Repeating Rifle, M1892 Looped Lever Rifle, Mare’s Leg Rifle and Coach Gun among many other options. The aesthetics and operations mimic the real rifles used in the Old West in every way except that they do not actually discharge.

Lastly, no Wild West pistol is complete without a holster. When we think of the lawless west, we think double, leather holsters which are available in different colors and styles. There are embossed and tooled options and even replica bullets to complete the collection.

Safety First

Even the best meaning gift can turn tragic if safety is left out of the equation. There are a couple of safety tips to consider before purchasing any kind of replica fire-arm. These include;

• Keeping the firearms away from children and irresponsible adults

• Avoiding pointing the replicas at other people

• Not carrying the replicas in public whether concealed or in full view

• Not obscuring, altering or removing the barrels’ colored tip. It is required by federal law

Where to Buy Your Replica Guns

There are many places to buy replica guns and other Wild West memorabilia and collectibles. Unfortunately, not all sellers are honest or offer quality products. Fortunately, companies such as the Wild West Gift Emporium offer a range of quality Wild West gift items at reasonable prices.
