Pocket Police
« on: July 20, 2012, 12:57:07 PM »
Okay, here is a new clone I just recieved.  A 6 1/2" barreled Pocket Police.  5 shot 36 caliber and built on the 31 caliber frame. 



I like them and will pair this up with a 5 1/2" revolver.



Eventually they will both wear American Ivory grips.

I also have a pair of these, one was won in a SASS drawing and the other was bought used while travelling through the small town of St Marys, PA.  I really would love to see someone remake the Remington version of this Colt style pistol.

I keep staring at the 6 1/2 model and wondering "whats up with the barrel ?". Has to be an optical illusion. Anyway, the 5 1/2 in. pocket police is next on my list...

HMMM, noticed that myself and was trying to line up the top photo barl by using the wood grain?  The barl line looks straight but there looks like sumpthin happens at the barl and frame junction?  A steel draftsmans rule laid along the barl top might tell you sumpthin.

Using the bottom photo I placed a pencil on the screen and  trie it along both pistols and there is definitely something going on with the angles at the .44s barl to frame intersection.

Uh, they're not .44s Bob.  They're both .36 pocket models

Sorry to burst your bubble, and Southpaws also, but the barrel is straight.  Checked with a machinest's rule but more importantly checked it by sighting down the bore, straight as a silk thread.  As for shooting high, don't they all?  The 5 1/2" version does well at 50 yards and that is where I'll sight in the longer one also.

The problem was not the barrel, but the photographer.  I am sure there is a way to get it so both barrels appear parallel but I don't know that trick.  Fortunately, I shoot revolvers better than I do photograpghs!

As I said in my original post I thought it was an optical illusion and based on that I was being a "smart ass" about it shooting high. No disrespect intended..........

So friday I recieved both pistols from Ables.The 1849 was fine but the Pocket Police had so much cylinder end play that the cylinder would not rotate when pulling the hammer back. So I just sent it back for replacement. I personaly have never seen this from Uberti. It had almost 1/8th inch play...............

I borrowed a friends original Remington New Model Police and took this photo of it next to one of my Uberti Colt '62 Police versions.  Even with its backstrap, the Remington still looks and feels smaller than the Colt version to me.  I would really love to see one of the manufacturers do a good remake of the Remington New Police Model.  I get the impression that there may have been as many made in .38 conversion format as was made cap and ball only???

No, I do not think so but I have been wanting them to ever since I first handled this one several years back.  If made correctly, these are also legal as a main match SASS revolver and though they feel a bit light for the job they should be much fun to shoot, if fun is your game!  If Alchimista would make the guns I would make the holsters!   ;D
