Can the same handgun serve as your home-defense piece, ride under a jacket as your concealed-carry pistol and hang on your hip when hunting as backup to ward off whatever threats you may encounter in the field? That’s a tall order, but the Colt Delta Elite performs all three admirably.

The display of items used by Texas Rangers dating from the time of the Republic of Texas (circa 1836) includes long arms, sidearms, sabers, bullet molds, holsters and other rare artifacts.

Here are 12 new guns on display at Great American that you’ll want to check out. We’ve even put them in order by booth location, starting near the entrance to the Shooting Sports Hall in the Cameron Street lobby and working across the aisles from right to left.

The new Cimarron 1862 Colt Pocket Navy Conversion revolver in .380 ACP sports a beautifully blued 6-inch barrel, color-case-hardened frame, varnished walnut grip and brass trigger guard.

While there are many handgun hunting cartridges to choose from, these practical all-around choices rise to the top.

The drought has ended: Colt has reintroduced its popular Python revolver, which features significant upgrades to the original design.

In a scene that could have leapt from the pages of a Western, Texas native Bill Williams successfully defended himself and his wife from an intruding black bear.

The new Python is a close copy of the original with the internal structural improvements that should provide you and your kids years of service. Fit and finish of the highly polished stainless-steel components are excellent with an attractive set of walnut grips that shame the older Python versions.
