“Men are like steel.
When they lose their temper,
they lose their worth.”
– Chuck Norris
Whether as a world-famous martial arts champion, a big
screen action star or an outspoken champion for at-risk youth through
his Kick Start Foundation, Chuck Norris is the real deal. He talks the
talk and walks the walk, onscreen and off.
Throughout his career, Chuck Norris has portrayed a
wide variety of heroes, some with high kicks and flying fists, some with
automatic pistols and machine guns. But Chuck himself has never lost his
boyhood love of the Old West, a simpler time when the heroes rode on
horseback.
Now America Remembers is especially proud to announce
an exclusive, first-ever Tribute issued with the authorization of Top
Kick Productions and Chuck Norris, honoring this legendary American
icon: The Chuck Norris Tribute Revolver. Each revolver in the edition is
a working Single Action revolver in caliber .45 LC produced for us by
the master craftsmen of A. Uberti.
Craftsmen commissioned specifically by America
Remembers decorate each Tribute in stunning 24-karat gold and nickel
artwork with a blackened patinaed background to highlight the details of
the artwork.
An Unforgettable American Icon
The Single Action revolver is a Western classic, often referred to as
the “gun that won the West.” It was a favorite of lawmen and outlaws of
the Old West, as well as motion picture and television heroes who have
captured our hearts for decades.
America Remembers chose the Single Action revolver and
a western theme for this Tribute for one simple reason: Chuck Norris is
a lifelong fan of the Old West. When we started this Tribute, Chuck
agreed the Single Action revolver was the perfect choice to honor his
career. He remains a cowboy at heart and lives on a ranch in Texas.
Chuck Norris was born in Oklahoma. Growing up poor in
the Midwest, he admired the cowboy heroes of the silver screen, such as
Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy. The Westerns he loved were
only films, but these Westerns showed that men of courage and principle
could act as an example to others.
In 1958, Chuck joined the U.S. Air Force and then the
Air Policeman, after which he was stationed halfway around the world in
South Korea. It was during his months overseas that Chuck discovered
martial arts, and when he returned to the U.S., he began teaching
karate. Chuck Norris quickly became a superstar in the martial arts
world. Apart from numerous regional and national championships, he is a
six-time undefeated World Professional Middleweight Karate Champion.
After conquering the karate world, Chuck found his way
into motion pictures, most memorably in a legendary fight scene with
superstar and friend Bruce Lee in “Return of the Dragon.” He followed up
with a string of tough-guy roles in 70’s films, such as “Good Guys Wear
Black” and “A Force of One,” and he continued to dominate the 80’s
box-office with such films as “Lone Wolf McQuade,” “Missing In Action,”
“The Delta Force” and many others.
In the 90’s, Norris took the opportunity to update his
boyhood love of the Old West in the television series, “Walker, Texas
Ranger.” Playing Cordell Walker, a modern-day Texas Ranger with a
toughness rooted in Old West tradition, Chuck portrayed the lawmen as a
no-nonsense hero with his own style of “rounding up the bad guys.”
