1889 Firearms

Page history last edited by Michael 3 years, 7 months ago

back to the Space 1889 Index

 

     This list includes weapons introduced up to the year 1900. See also our page with items from the April 1889 Francis Bannerman catalog, and the Eley Brothers' cartridge list.

     It is presumed here that handguns are held in one hand; longarms are held in both hands, with their stock against the shoulder. Generally, pistols are -5 STR min if fired with two hands, and -5 STR min if fired when Braced; long arms -10 STR if fired when Braced.
