It’s All About the Guns

History Channel’s Top Shot was a breakout hit in 2010, as much for the firearms spotlighted as for the shooters competing.


This season promises to be even better with new contestants, new challenges and, of course, new firearms. Tonight’s show will feature 16 competitors firing three different, but well-known guns: the Sharps .50 caliber rifle, a Colt 1911 in .45 ACP and the Smith & Wesson Model 29 in .44 Mag.


The Sharps has long been revered for its placement in American History, while Ole Slab Sides is celebrating its 100 year anniversary as the most popular pistol in America. And the Model 29 became famous when Clint Eastwood handled the “most powerful handgun in the world” in the Dirty Harry movies.


While Season 2 will no doubt feature some typical reality-show personality drama, Top Shot is about guns, the people who love guns and some really cool shots.

I would love to see a challenge with some weapons that we all own or have owned at one time. The 1911 was a good start but I also would like to see a Ruger 10/22 and most importantly the Remington 870. I think everyone owned or learned with these 2 guns. Wouldn't mind seeing some moving targets on a rail at longer ranges with a scoped Winchester model 70 or Remington 700.
