Last week on Wheelgun Wednesday, I gushed about the prospect of Spohr revolvers coming to the United States because James Reeves has spoken so highly of them as of late; thus, I’m excited now, too. That being said, I’ve never touched or seen a Spohr revolver in real life yet. One revolver that is almost on the same level of “unicorn status” are Silver Creek Firearms. I stumbled upon this brand in the “basement” or “dungeon” of SHOT Show 2023 and walked away very impressed. Unfortunately, we have not heard much about them since. So, in this week’s edition of Wheelgun Wednesday, we are going to revisit Silver Creek Firearms to delve into the basic questions of Who, What, Where, When?… Let’s dive in!
Wheelgun Wednesday @ TFB:
Silver Creek Firearms – Who?
Silver Creek Firearms, like all infant companies, is a small group of gentlemen who (I’m adlibbing) probably desired something more in firearms and; thus, sought out to accomplish it themselves. While they aren’t a one-man show, it is admittedly small. It is a 6-man cadre building wheelguns from scratch.
- President
- Representative
- Kevin Jacobs
- Karl (Oscar) Anderson
- Jim Mershon
- Steve Erdman
- Dan Zaremba
While the title of President speaks for itself, the moniker of “Representative” is incredibly ambiguous. So, one could only venture to guess that these guys are wearing many “hats” as Silver Creek Firearms gets going (machinist, advertising, coffee re-filler, human resources, #1 employee reported to HR, etc). This is what their own “About Us” section on their website states:
Silver Creek Firearms owner, Scott Erdman, was inspired for our first gun by his father who deer hunted with a .357 Magnum revolver. Silver Creek Firearms was established in 2015 in Whitehall, MI. and production began on our first gun in 2018.
Our president, manufacturing and design team are all avid hunters and enjoy spending time at the gun range and all contributed new ideas for a world class revolver.
Our guns are 100% machined and assembled to the highest precision and quality in our own facility.
Silver Creek Firearms – What?
The “what” is what brought us all here – their wheelguns. Right now, Silver Creek Firearms has 1 model in the way a revolver. That one being the 4110 .357 Magnum. This is a Single-Action/Double-Action revolver with a multitude of barrel lengths, grip choices, sight selections, and finish variations as well. The 8“ barrel revolver is additionally ported for low recoil. The 4110 .357 Magnum is also unique in that it deploys “Variable Pitch Rifling” that increases as it goes down the barrel adding to the accuracy of the gun.

Silver Creek Firearms – When?
This might be the best question of them all: when?… When will we see some of these in the hands of the media (shmucks like me) to give consumers reviews, thoughts, and more photography of their products?… When will you see these on store shelves?… When will they get a YouTube page to pump up advertising?… When will we see some MSRP pricing to see if these are the “market’s greatest value in a revolver,” or are they “overpriced?”… Only time will tell.
