Storyline

Walt Longmire is the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County. Widowed only a year, Longmire is a man in psychic repair that buries his pain behind a brave face and dry wit. Struggling since his wife's death and at the urging of his daughter, Cady, Longmire knows that the time has come to turn his life around. With the help of Vic, a female deputy new to the department, he becomes reinvigorated about his job and committed to running for re-election. When Branch, an ambitious, young deputy decides to run against him for sheriff, Longmire feels betrayed but remains steadfast in his dedication to the community. Longmire often turns to close friend and confidant Henry Standing Bear for support as he sets out to rebuild both his personal and professional life, one step at a time.

Trivia

Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) carries a 1911 .45ACP Colt Government Model with custom stag grips for his duty sidearm. Unlike most who choose to carry the M1911, he carries it in Condition 2 (mag inserted, round chambered, hammer down). This isn't necessarily a technical error; there was a time when this was the acceptable method of carry, although now most M1911 users do not recommend it for safety reasons, instead choosing Condition 1 (mag inserted, round chambered, hammer cocked, safety on) which is the way the pistol is designed to be carried.

Goofs

In at least one episode, when Walt finds a firearm in possession of a character, they explain to the sheriff that "It's registered". Wyoming, like many states, does not require registration of either firearms or firearms owners.

User Reviews

great crime drama with a western setting

Crime, drama, good vs bad, characters and great actors all make for a good story line. There is enough subtle humor to keep it interesting, and the action is fast moving, so that it doesn't get boring. Conflict among the characters make it more real life. There is potential for the development of romance as the storyline unfolds. Some of the characters are recognizable from other major shows, which makes the show even more appealing. The characters display the true western tough-guy, no-nonsense approach to dealing with wild-west crime. The tough-girl on the show makes it even better. I look forward to seeing where the writers will take the various characters in future episodes.
