Bust? Like break apart or something?

Can’t remember the last time I’ve had a slow fire let alone a misfire in a percussion revolver. These things might be useful if you want to use Blackhorn or something like that. Or if you can’t find caps I suppose.

She’s a beast!

This might represent the Hazard cartridge from the 1860’s…

Truer words have never been spoken! My gosh that’s a beautiful revolver!

I didn’t mind the weight much 20 years ago… not today, unless I’m just packing it from the house to the bench.

I once won an ebay bid for an uberti blackpowder 1873. After winning I noticed that someone had drilled the opening for the firing pin to allow the use of a centerfire cylinder. Uh, nope! Not going there. The seller tried to force the issue until I told them that the next step was a call to the...

Exactly. Why Pietta nor Uberti have seen fit to give us a Remington Police replica is beyond me. I bet they’d sell like hotcakes.

I’m starting a thread on this revolver as a sort of petition for those of us who feel there’s a large gap between the Army and the Pocket model Remington replicas available to us. I’ll forward the results to the two major replica manufacturers, Pietta and UbertI asking that they consider this...

This one may get you close. Be aware that the cylinder gap on a revolver will cause a pressure and velocity loss. I’ve heard numbers like 50 fps per .006” or something like that. Nobody knows for sure and the only data I’ve ever seen was compiled using modern propellants in cartridges like the...

Which revolver had a useful grip… very well done.
