I say a flash in the hand is worth more then a boat.

Nice! I have an Opentop, 1871 version with brass TG & BS, and shorter barrel, in .45 Schofield. What caliber is yours?

Oh yeah! That definitely is the winner in the Heavyweight (45,000 tons or more), Muzzle Flash Division!

When I worked at NAVSEA one of the groups we supported was the folks who managed the construction and building of the Navy’s boats. If memory serves me right and I may be mistaken, anything less than 105’ is considered a boat.
Anyway, that group had a sign on the door, that said
We build the Navy’s boats.
And someone wrote in
(And one small ship)
At the time they were also in charge of construction of a craft that was slightly larger than the definition limit!
Those folks had a sense of humor. But the aircraft carrier folks .. less so

I got it in 38 Spl. I figured it would last longer. The originals I've seen were in 44 rim fire.

The Sub guys get even more bent when you call their boat a ship.....I know, but the Navy guys just love it when you call their ship a boat.

This was taken 4th of July I think 4 years ago. My son shooting my Saint Lewis Hawkins 50 cal with no bullet, powder only. I would load it up and shoot it into the air every few minutes while the younger crowd was setting off fireworks. 3F powder, not going to post how much but enough to be extremely loud. I am thinking most of the powder burnt after leaving the barrel.

It depends on the market. That is, what is available in the gun shops. When the Dracos were easy to find, I would get about one a month. In the pass year I have only gotten about 5. I really hate shooting them. Aint nothing fun about shooting them in a small room with rubber walls.
Come on people, I want to see some more flashy stuff.
