On behalf of the Nichols Family I would like to gratefully acknowledge the generous contributions to this website, both by advertisers and also by those who have given of their time, their photos, their knowledge, their insight and their support of my efforts to give something back to the toy community that has so richly blessed our lives—mine in a personal way and America's in general, for there was a time when we had some real heroes and we went out and played our games and emulated these legends—both real and imagined. I can't help but think that those days are not really gone. Historians will proudly tell you (thus trying to build themselves up in your eyes with their "insight") that the Old West we remember never happened, and there is a small amount of truth in that. But the greater truth is that in the movies and TV shows we watched, there was a Code that was instilled in many of us that remains to this day: A Code of Honor and decency that transcends the "reality" that was The West.

We had our heroes, and we knew the difference between Right and Wrong and though some didn't live up to those ideals, I think that the country as a whole was better off with their toy guns, battling it out on the sandlots and "forts" that we created than we are now when the games have turned sour and deadly and society blames objects rather than enforce a strict Moral Code. It's so much easier to blame a toy than it is to blame an entire nation that is on the verge of completely losing its way.

There were millions of us out there who wore our sixguns and yet we had a complete grasp between the "real" and the "imagined." Now our TV heroes require a new vengeance, and blood must be spilled and what comes out of their mouths is being recited by the youths of today, instead of the Creeds of our old heros like Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Gene Autry and the other matinee idols who taught us to live by OUR WORD.

When I went to school we recited The Lord's Prayer and God wasn't absent from our schools. Funny thing...weapons were never used and religion was. Now we don't have religion in public schools, but we seem to have plenty of weapons (occasionally). What happened? Can it be reversed? How is our "new found freedom and sanity" working? And most importantly...what are you doing about it?

I myself am an evangelical Christian and am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ — OR — am I ashamed of the "rightness" of the Constitution of the United States of America. I respect others' opinions and listen, but our country needs to get back to basics. I served in the U.S. Navy—attached to the U.S. Marine Corps as a hospital corpsman during the Vietnam era, but I was never in Vietnam. I am doing what I can to change things. Won't you do your part too?

If you're in the firearms-related manufacturing (or selling) business, then one thing you could do to help is to advertise on this website. Our visitors are YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE. These are people who love guns and usually have the money to buy them. Running an ad in the Right Column costs less than 1/10th of a penny per day per page per year. And unlike magazines, where you read the mag a couple of times and then stick it in the bathroom rack, our customers just KEEP COMING BACK, day after day and there your ad is. We do get out the word! You can even check our statistics, as the entry to our webcounter is on our Advertise Page.

The names below are in alphabetical order by first name—just to get you to read them all and find yours. If I missed you, then let me know and I will correct that mistake, for it was an accident. It has been said that all Evil has to do to triumph is for Good Men to do nothing. (women too!) Be a part of the solution. This site represents an important part of our history and that bygone day should not perish. I do what I can, but you can probably guess that it takes a lot of help.

Thanks Gang!



And, of course, my lovely wife Carol for tolerating me at the computer for hours/days/weeks/months/years/centuries!
(I've told you a million times, I never exaggerate!)
