Title: Sometimes, You gotta go 'ol school
Post by: Greasemonkey on February 09, 2015, 01:21:05 PM

Like I said, 'ol school, yup, Glocks are, well, they are Glocks, 1911s are so-so, love my S&W Model 29, but, there is nothing more enjoyable than the crack of a primer cap, the instant boom and a massive cloud of smoke thumb1  The modern stuff is a no brainer, throw some rounds in the mag, insert mag and pop, pop, pop away. I never was much on blackpowder boom sticks, but the revolvers really tickled the primitive side of me.

Top is a Colt licensed Uberti Dragoon, it's a .44 caliber, and when loaded all out, packs 50grains of black powder, and weighs over 4 pounds. This is just slightly smaller than the Colt Walker, which max load was 60grains.
The second is a .36 caliber Colt Navy replica, a fine, very smooth shooting weapon.
The last is a .44 caliber with a 12 inch barrel, it sports an adjustable rear sight, had some trigger work done and it is shockingly accurate when the right mix is used.

I had an Uberti Clone of the Remington '58 once. Shot one cylinder through it and loved it, but didn't seem feasible to me at the time to keep it so I sold it to a civil war re-enactor friend.

Charged with carbon, saltpeter and sulfur,
Belching fire, and spitting hot lead,
Sharp eyed pistoliers  are aiming,
To singe their brows and leave you dead.

Nice collection of smokers thumb1

Very nice Greasemonkey, an impressive array! I too had a '58 Remington .44 reproduction, I was shocked at the accuracy these charcoal burners are capable of.
