It IS an addiction...

[Evil One]

Honest.. it is.
I just ordered a perty lil Spiller and Burr from The River Junction Trade Company.

It was in their "One of a kinds" section... Picked her up for $135.
Dont think it was a bad deal at all.
So, I am up to 3 now...
When does this MADNESS stop?!?!

I Love the way it looks.
Its a .36, in case my fiancee doesn't care for shooting my .44s, and the originals were made in my home town of Macon Ga.

It never stops EO -  You just keep wanting more and more, the Colts - Ahhhhhh the Colts, nothing prettier than an Old Model holster Pistol of Navy Caliber; except maybe a pair of em.  And the New Model Holster Pistol of 1861 - now - there is a sight to behold, so sleek and tapered feel so right in the hand, natural pointer, cant miss a target with one of them.  Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, HA, Ha................................................

When does it stop? It doesn't. I'm at 16 or 17 (lost count after my 6th Remington).

Evil One,

Like everybody else has said, it never ends.  I've got half a dozen cap and ball revolvers and I still want more.  So at least your in good company with the rest of us addicts.

[Ransom Gaer]

I have one of the Uberti made Leech & Rigdon Navy revolvers.  It's a great gun.

Been into Cap and Ball for a little over 2 years now and have 4 Armys and 2 Navys. Looked at 2 more Navys last night but I really don't like the Navy grip. Don't think it makes any difference, I probably buy one of them anyway.

[hellgate]

Hey nozzel Rag,
The grips on navies vary with the make. Piettas have more of a flare at the bottom of the grip and more narrowing at the top. This makes the guns want to point high in my hands. The uberti and ASM navies have the standard SAA grip shape and they point naturally for me. I have swapped the Navy pietta grips for Army Pietta grips and that works fine (swapping the frame and all). It was done historically too.However, you cannot fit ASM or Uberti grip frames to any other than the corresponding make or the screw holes likely won't line up.

[sundance44`s]

Go ahead NozzleRag you know everyone needs one of every flavor !  I felt that why when I started collecting the Remmies ..I wanted one from every make ..and 2 of some ... I just hope one day when I`m gone these guns with be still worth something ...after all I`m spending the kids inheritance...the way I`ve watched the prices rise in the last few years ..shouldn`t be a problem , and the best deals always come rolling around when ya really don`t want to spend the money .Oh well I hear playing Golf can be expencive ..Right ?

[Evil One]

Just makes me afeared of what my collection is gonna look like 5-10 years down the road.
I have been told that when I jump into something... I jump in with both feet... and stomp around a lil bit.

I understand the stomping bit! 

[Dr. Bob]

SHB,

Ya got the stomping part down real good!   You should make an instructional vidio!   I don't do too bad either.

[Steel Horse Bailey]

That would be a pre-1900 video, right? 

[Dr. Bob]

A moving picture for sure!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

It'd make ya move away from the screen! 

[The General]

I would have to agree 100% with the folks here as well Evil.  I have two of the C&B revolvers & just purchased two more.  I can see right now this is going to become a habit!

[Evil One]

General... yes it is.
I managed to walk out of Cabelas today withOUT another one.
They only had 2 left, both display models.
One had the weakest hammer spring I have ever seen, the other had a ring cut around the cylinder where some Yayhoo was turning the cyl wit the pistol eithe cocked a lil too much... or not enough.

Well... its better for my wallet that way.

AND... being that I am a NC resident working up here in Mass... I am having HELL of a time finding a supply of the Holy Black.
It makes my nice streak just that much narrower...
