Might wanna consider these. 8" barrel. .44 ya kin stuff up good. Looks like the hammer'd be easier ta find fer a gunfrigther. Half the weight 'n half the price. No wedge ta fiddle with. Solid top strap. Cylinder removal easy.

I got a pair of them.....Remington 1858 "New Army" revolvers. I load em up with 24 gr of FFFg and a .454 lead ball. Sweeeet!

I like it! That guy has great style with his knee action to reset the loading levers when they fall down.

I would suggest a leather tie to hold them up....very period correct.

Looks like another reason for a '58 over a Walker or a Dragoon.

Shot my Remmie 58's C&B for the Last Stand at Pungo, that was some fun shooting. I'll have them with me tomorrow if you want to have a look Will.

Now PR, you know Will ain't gonna shoot any bullet that don't start with a "4" or higher.

Yes, get a pair of 44's. Then we all can go down to Cammie & Stump's Warthog shoot "the Big Iron Showdown" ? when no caliber lower than a "4" is allowed.

Tain't fair

You should be there tomorrow too

Arcey · May 30, 2008, 10:05:13 PM

Better mileage out a .36. Less powder. Less lead.

Wildcat Will · May 31, 2008, 07:48:19 PM

Must say after seein' up close P-Town's chamber fire today

it can give one pause.

Heeck No. Need to work the wife into the idea slowlyl though.

Now let's see 36 .... less powder and less lead 44 .... more powder and more lead
Which way should I go......... Like anyone needs to guess!!!
Gotta be a 44

I would say that since you are a charter member of the "more powder posse", you are required to go the route that utilizes the most powder of the two.....yup....the 44.

One thing you need to remember when your at the loading table, with them C&B's. To always get your rifle loaded also.....

Didn't get much cameraing in yesterday.....will see what the magic box comes up with later

The shooter, who will remain unidentified by me, took that l'il boo-boo well. Proud ta know the man.

I'd have ta think back ta remember a shoot with as many laffs as that one. Stages were well done, I thought. A touch warm but there ain't no controlin' that. The time of year has come to freeze the water supply the night before.

Nice turn out at Nick's. Good pards ta be with. Been way too long since some of us saw one 'nother. Met a pard I've been wantin' ta see eye ta eye for four years. Best I know ever one made it home in one piece.

litl rooster · June 01, 2008, 12:54:42 PM

Yes he did

Lucky Irish Tom · June 02, 2008, 05:27:34 AM

And remember don't do the bore snakes in tha washing machine, that's what the dishwasher is for!

Pony Racer · June 02, 2008, 06:18:00 AM

I have been known to use the bathtub for cleaning at hotels for 2-3 day matches.

Just do it after taking a shower - Balistol makes for a very slick bottom of bath tub later!!

Believe me - I know - it is slick and no fun!!

I do wonder when the clean-up crew comes in whether they smell the bathroom and wonder what the heck was that guy doing in his room!!

Can't wait to shoot with my fellow posse members again. But next two weeks my dance card is full!

Upperville Colt and Pony Show 7-8 June. Dad's family reunion/father's day bbq 14-15 June.

I am looking to shoot the weekend of 21-22 June. Who is shooting where?

OOPS! Sorry I mentioned it

FYI, some people recommend you don't use the dishwasher for cleaning yer guns since there is a possibility that some lead residue could remain in the dishwasher and could get onto your dishes & eatin' utensils.
