“A man ought to do what he thinks is right.” – John Wayne
Few actors have better embodied the American spirit than the man affectionately known as “Duke”. He was the Western hero on-screen and a genuine role model off-screen. In movies, he was the lawmen who struck fear in the hearts of the wicked, the gunfighter who stood up for the mistreated and the iron-willed warrior with the unflinching gaze. Off-screen, he was a tough man who loved God, his family, America, and freedom. If you were a John Wayne fan, you know that John Wayne was the kind of Hollywood icon that only comes around once in a lifetime.
Many of us remember John Wayne best for his Westerns. There was something about those legendary days of the Old West, something uniquely American that fit Wayne perfectly. In dozens of films, he starred in a Western role as a cavalryman, a lawman, a cowboy, or a rancher. Audiences flocked to the theater to see him in such memorable western classics as The Searchers, Rio Bravo, The Alamo, Hondo and True Grit.
There is no other star in the history of America who has stood as tall in our hearts as John Wayne. In his many movie roles and in real life, John Wayne typified the best of the American spirit, representing proudly the ideals and values we hold dear. He was honorable, direct, caring, and larger than life. Throughout his life, and even at the end of his battle with cancer, his personal courage and dignity served as an inspiration to us all.
A Handsome Patriotic Salute
Today, America Remembers, with authorization from John Wayne Enterprises, is proud to present the John Wayne Tribute Revolver, an elegantly decorated Single Action Revolver remembering the career of a true Western film legend. This is the first Single Action Revolver America Remembers has issued to commemorate John Wayne. This is an exclusive limited edition, and will certainly be a handsome addition to any firearms or John Wayne collection.
The Handgun That Won the West
To honor America’s favorite Western film star, it seemed only fitting to choose a classic Western firearm, the Single Action Revolver in caliber .45 LC with a 4 3/4” barrel. Single Action Revolvers have been the universally-recognized symbol of America’s Old West era for more than a century. Living legends such as Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill Cody made the revolver famous. In Hollywood, the Single Action Revolver was a favorite for many Hollywood cowboy legends and was often used by John Wayne.
Thanks to its starring role on the American frontier and in Hollywood, the Single Action Revolver has become a beloved piece of American history. There is something about the Single Action Revolver that kindles our sense of nostalgia and adventure. When we see the Single Action Revolver, we think of the legendary days of the Old West when daring cowboys, lawmen, and outlaws roamed freely across the vast frontier, relying on their firearms for protection.
Craftsmen commissioned specifically for this project by America Remembers decorate each John Wayne Tribute Revolver in sparkling 24-karat gold and blued steel to celebrate the spirit of a true American legend. Each working revolver in this edition is produced for us by the master craftsmen of A. Uberti, who have expertly created this classic firearm just as they have created so many of the Western classics since 1959, and have established themselves as the premier maker of historical firearms recreations.

The right side of the barrel features a 24-karat decorated banner that reads “Duke” which is surrounded by decorative scrollwork. Wayne’s famous nickname had been with him since childhood and came from a beloved family pet, also named Duke.
