The Chuck Norris Tribute Revolver
I'm wondering if anybody is into the Chuck Norris Tribute Revolver? I kinda like it... just to have it... as safe queen...
Quote:
Description
Model: Single Action Revolver (Uberti)
Barrel Length: 5 1/2"
Caliber: .45 LC
Edition Limit: 500
Decoration: Each Tribute revolver is decorated by craftsmen specifically commissioned by America Remembers.

I don't know if the value will ever rise but it's sure a nice item. And supposedly it's helping Chuck's and Gina's Kickstart Kids Organization.
More info at americaremembers dot com.

I'm not sure about the revolver, but several years ago while working in Puerto Rico, I spent my lunches watching "Walker, Texas Ranger" in Spanish. Amused me to no end.

That's not what he carried on "Ranger-Texas Walker" I believe it was a .45. I know in Lone Wolf McCade he carried a 4" 29 in a cross draw.
Best movie ever when they buried him alive in his Dodge Ram Charger and he just gunned that sucker and came a flyin' out of the dirt
Chuck Norris is so bad even dark is afraid of him.

Now that is funny
I like Chuck Norris and his movies/tv episodes. He does good stuff and has his heart in the right place.

I just snorted some really nice Jordan Cabernet thru my nose when I read the initial post -- what's next................. let me wax philosophically: (these are parodies, of course)
the Mother Theresa Commemorative Lee-Enfield .303 (sold to help "the children" with twice the Chuck Norris platitudes for the buck)
the Enfields were popular rifles in India and as a good Catholic, I will buy one or maybe 20.
Michael Jackson "Thriller revolver" -- shoots .38 lipstick-coated projectiles and comes with fitted sequined shooting glove.
Barbie and Ken Malibu Beach Tiki Hut pistol -- .25 cal. 4-shot auto (not cool to carry more than four rounds, dude -- it's a party, remember) --
comes with driftwood carrying case, straw holster with optional bikini open-carry thong pistol holder.
Richard Simmons "Barely There" Kit gun in .22 short (because, you know, figure it out) -- enhance your personal security while watching Simmon's workout videos.
And the piece' de resistance (drum roll, please)................................
The PeeWee Herman crowded movie theater defense pistol -- .32 auto
pistol loaded with ratshot to keep wandering hands out of your buttered popcorn.

In Tokyo in 1975, on my first visit to Japan, I saw a movie on TV that had Charlton Heston playing a native American and speaking Japanese. Now that whopped my mind!

Well, He's another guy that is unfortunately fading away. Now it is all about tolerance instead of kicking the stuffing out of the bad guy. Chuck Norris, John Wayne, Lee Van Cleef, Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Lee Marvin, and many others have to make way for "sensitive" roles. As for the revolver, not my cup of tea, but I hope many sell to honor him and his kind.

Kind of a sissy looking gun for Chuck Norris. I'm thinkin a 500 S&W would suit him better.

Chuck Norris and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants.

Chuck Norris was born on May 6th, 1945. Nazi Germany surrendered on May 7th, 1945. COINCIDENCE? I think not!

Chuck Norris doesn't need a gun, he just round-house kicks bullets at sub-sonic speeds.

That revolver looks like something that you'd find in a Detroit pawn shop.

Even a Detroit pawn shop has more class than to showcase
a gun that gawdy. Holy cow, no self-respecting pimp in the Ninth Ward in New Orleans (or gangbanger drug purveyor,
for that matter) would be caught dead (figuretively) (well, perhaps caught "dead", literally) with a gun that ugly.
And Chuck Norris had his issues -- read up about some of his business adventures in Russia.

A nickel Model 29 in his first outing as a Texas Ranger, Lone Wolf McQuade.

Not as cool as when he spun in a half-circle with the trigger held down on a MAC-10 and hit like 5 banditos, who were all at various elevations on the hill.

those various America remember tribute guns have ZERO collector interest..........unless you can/could find some "challenged" individual who is even more clue less than the person was who initially bought it............then you have to decide if you could stand having that kind of fraud weighing down on your soul.......there's an old saying....what goes around, comes around..........just my humble opinion of course.

I am not sure how it is any more of a fraud than basketball cards, old comic books or a hundred other things people buy. Two grand is rather stiff for an Uberti, but whatever else you get with your purchase, you do seem to receive a functional firearm. For a big Chuck Norris fan it might seem worth the money.

With the exception of the S&W collector revolvers and a few of the Colts....and even fewer of the Winchester levers (and all of these pretty near have to be NIB as issued from the factory), I've never seen any not factory issued commenartives (?) that ever fetched what they sold for.. i.e. the various dolled up Thompsons/Garands etc. that we see every month in the American Rifleman.....at auctions.. even NIB perfect including all boxes/shipping containers they bring less than 1/2-1/3 of their original cost.......some don't even bring that...... I can remember when even the late Colt issued commenartive SAA's wouldn't bring much either. and if they had been shot, or were missing part of their boxes/papers they would bring way LESS than what a similar straight factor issued pistol would bring in the same shape...........The various Winchester mod 94 lever comm. rifles suffered the same if they lacked their box or had been shot..........& even if they or the Colts were NIB & had it all..... few people would give much for them in even better auctions here in Missouri.......... with the exception of the John Wayne rifle & pistols from Colt & Winchester.

A co-worker of mine used to live down the street from Chuck Norris (in North Dallas). He used to take his kids trick-or-treating to his house and Chuck would answer the door and give out candy bars - full sized ones of course.

Apart from the looks of the gun I'm disappointed. I thought it would be .50 BMG.

If you shoot a Chuck Norris revolver, the shots can be heard round the world.
If you fire one straight up, the bullets never return to earth. Mere gravity simply cannot overcome them.
The velocity has not yet been ascertained. We have no instruments capable of measuring it.
Every shot fired by one is a perfect X.
It is rumored that several people have been killed by having one pointed at them. BE CAREFUL!
They are never loaded with more than one round. It cannot possibly take more.

In Walker,Texas Ranger I saw the Model 629 or a nickel 29, a 1911 and even a Beretta 9mm or .40. One local station often runs back to back to back episodes in primetime. I guess the revolvers could have been other big bore Smiths, I really dont know.

WOW. I've seen some gaudy guns with too many engraved gold accents - but I have never seen one so bling-ed out that the whole gun was gold plated and only the engraved accents AREN'T gold.
In the dictionary under the definition of "pimped out" there should be a picture of that gun...

There's also a Chuck Norris Tribute Pistol. I had no idea. He's simply "the man!"

A large metropolitan city was going to name a street after Chuck Norris, but the idea wasn't going to work...no one crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
