Slix shot nipples and #11 CCI

"BTW, have 6 cap & ball revolvers"

JB,
I was gonna comment but then let it go til I saw Fingers'. Geeze, you're just getting started. I try to stay between 15 and 20 at any given time. I've owned 37. It's a nice addiction. It also turns you into an amature gunsmith in short order. Think of it like women's shoes or purses: the gals always seem to have an excuse for another one when they already have plenty. Try selling a used pair of shoes or purse. At least it's an asset that doesn't lose all of its value when used. Try that one on your wife when she asks why you "need" another revolver. Ask her why she needs so many purses (or shoes).   Then DUCK!!

Here are some of the ones I shoot.  Admittedly, not all of them are shot regularly.

I am one of the "cowboy freaks".

If I'm not shooting it, i don't want it around.

I've settled on Pietta 1860s in 5.5" and 8" barrels.

I have 7 of those ready to shoot but all of the other C&Bs have gone to someone that will use them.

I did retain possession of the 1862 manufactured 1851 Colt.

With only a pair of Pietta NMA and a Uberti Pietta mixed match pair of 1860s I feel totally inadequate

I must agree with Noz, I have also settled on the Pietta 1860's as my choice as the Frontiersman Revolver supurb.

My main Frontiersman match Revolvers are an 8" 60 and a 5 1/2" Sheriff's model.

Nothing points & shoots like a 1860 Army.

Except an 1861 Navy    That's what I use for a main match gun.  Back-ups are a pair of Leech and Rigdons, and a pair of 1851 Navies.

My Serious (Regional/Annual/grudge) Match guns are a pair of ASM '51 Navy 44 calibers. I get the Army whump with the Navy handling. My less serious match pair are  two Millenium Uberti Remingtons with a Pietta 1860 Army & a J H Dance (with Pietta Army grips) as a backup.

As he swells his chest, harumphs loudly and then proclaims that 1861s are for little people. 1860s have big grips for big people.

Fingers' 1861s are items of great beauty. A pair of them might make me switch to 36s.
