Got her today ! They must be paying attention ? It has no more tail ;than ROA , less in fact. I almost think the grips would fit. Wish they would. It only has a couple of little lines of writing on each side of the barrel , about middle of the rammer. Every thing but the trigger ; is great ! Not the pound pull; but the placement( position) tries to capture trigger finger , goin to neutral! Let off is alright ( saa average) . Wonder if I should alter, or can it be exchanged ? I need more room.

What is an "army police"?
The best I know "army" refers to 44 caliber and "police" on a percussion revolver is a 36,like the navy (no navy doesn't refer to the rammer type see the 1861 navy)
So is this a 44-36? The names these marketing guys come up with

The revolver that never was!
She shoots great with 3f an 375 RB . Dismal , with 2f ! The trigger geomitey seems crude! I think I'll get a spare and bend it / cut to move it back some. .. It should be called the navy shore patrol. Dreams. ! It's for tree rat hunting. A friend said; He"d have to scope it

Nice little revolver pistol! It would make a wonderful companion for my Pietta 1851 Navy Sheriff Model.
It floors me though, seeing it set up for shoulder stock attachment!
I guess that is being done by Pietta now with all their 1860 framed guns?

Spring break
Guess I answered my own question by accident ! The pawl spring broke after around 88 shotswent in to fix it; an remembered some parts , I had salvaged about 10 year ago . Sure enough there was a trigger! Looked identical except swept back , an rch or so , chopped about 5/32 off the bottom end exchanged it out . Just right! No more noxious finger grab! Lots more fun to shoot now! Yeah big dog , a shoulder stock might make , knocking the tree rats out easier . And still half the length of a rifle. Make the light little rascal ; aim steadier . They sure are proud of em though!

It is another Pietta fantasy gun. The real 1862 was built using the smaller 1848 frame in .36 with a rebated cylinder like the 1860. Uberti builds a correct reproduction.
