See how the partnership of two visionaries created some of the most storied weapons in history.

Their names are engraved on some of the most famous guns ever made. But their influence went beyond their own company to shape the industry as a whole.

Horace Smith and Daniel Baird Wesson pushed the limits of firearms technology with innovations that rewrote history. TALES OF THE GUN examines period documents, talks to weapons experts and visits some of the foremost gun collections in the world to tell their complete story. See how they developed the first self-contained cartridge and the .38 special. And see how they played a vital role in the development of one of their competitors' biggest successes—the Winchester repeating rifle.

The company forged from their inspired partnership remains at the vanguard of today's handgun industry.
