Pistols: Dazzling Firearms

In Pistols: Dazzling Firearms, more than 50 exceptional American firearms illustrate how art, historical events, and popular culture have influenced the
design and symbolism of decorative weaponry.

Each piece, specially selected for this exhibit based on its quality, condition,
and elegance, serves to illuminate and celebrate the 19th and 20th centuries
and the mythic West. Learn more about the stories behind Annie Oakley's Smith & Wesson, the wondrous beauty of the Autry-Tiffany Dragoon that was given to Gene on his 81st birthday, and many other special and legendary firearms.
