I can’t answer your questions, but I ordered a EMF GW 2 in 45 colt. It was “The Shootist” model. Still waiting on it to arrive. I will post what my opinion is.

I come within a hairsbreadth of ordering the same Revolver ,very good looking revolver.
Changed my mind at the last minute to the Convertible for a tad more versatility.

I had an EMF Hartford model once upon a time. A good gun, it had been sorely used by an outfitter in Colorado and really looked like a 1st gen. Colt without artificial aging. If the Great Western II is anything like that, it will serve you well. Best wishes upon your endeavor and please post pics.

Not the greatest picture, but I really do like the pistol so far. Just got to shoot it at the house a few rounds. Seems to be a pretty well built pistol. I will hopefully get to the range for a more extended shoot.

Beautiful Revolver !!

Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow

Fingers crossed

I have been trying to find the Handloader June 2019 article by Brian Pierce ,280 Standard-Pressure .45 Colt loads.

I am not subscribed to Handloaders Magazine and hate to pay $10.00 for just that article !
You don’t happen to have the article do you ?

Don't know if this thread is still going, but, I bought the EMF GW II in .45 Colt. Only difference from the one pictured above is mine has the brass frame. Came with the .45 acp cylinder also.
A great operating and shooting SA. Just bought another, only an Uberti Taylor tuned "Old Randall", this one has a matte type finish and 5.5" barrel. Pick it up Mon, 11/23. More fun.

Somebody gave John Wayne an original Great Western...possibly a pair of them, but my memory fails me on that score. He used it/them in The Shootist.

There's a picture of that on the EMF co. website regarding the Great Western. Guys name is Bill Wilson. Could have been the owner of "Great Western Arms Co." back in the day.

Back then, IIRC they were actually made here in the USA.
