Remington 1894 is a standalone Western novel named after the Remington Model 1894 double-barreled shotgun, one of the more recognizable firearms of the late frontier era. The book puts the weapon at the center of its story, tying the characters and plot to the gun’s history and the kind of trouble it attracts.
Published in 2017 by J.A. Johnstone, the novel fits into the Johnstone tradition of Westerns built around specific guns and the men who carry them. The Winchester series covers similar ground with lever-action rifles, but here the focus is on a shotgun and the close-range brand of violence that comes with it. It’s a quick read for anyone who likes their Westerns with a strong hardware focus.
