That is where people seek out items like a Davidson’s Exclusive to set themselves apart from the rest of their shooting cadre. Being as we are all wheelgun loving folk, we will take a look at 4 special revolvers that you can’t get anywhere else than Davidson featuring Heritage Manufacturing Inc. Let’s dive in!

Davidson’s Exclusives in their “Gallery of Guns”

For those who might be unaware, Davidson is a prominent distributor of firearms to online and brick ‘n mortar gun shops. They offer innumerable popular brands as well as varying, related firearm accessories. The “Gallery of Guns” portion of their website proudly displays distributor exclusive offerings that you can only get at Davidson. This can be small tweaks to current manufacturer’s models or drastic changes. Regardless, they are unique offerings that you cannot get anywhere else.

This wheelgun has an MSRP of only $189 making it supremely affordable. It also uniquely dons an ejector pin with a turned wood handle which is quite uncommon as well.
