I got hooked on cap n ball revolvers back in the early 80’s. Then life happened and time for the finer things in life got put on hold. Picked it back up about 4 years ago. Love watching your channel. I set up a nice woods walk range on my little farm. I use my cap n ball revolvers and my flintlocks on it. Great fun. Look forward to future videos of yours.

Hello, thanks for all your great videos. I have a Uberti Leech & Rigdon too. I was really annoyed with Uberti for the engraved cylinder, just shows its all about the money. I assume they just put the standard 1851 Navy cylinder as they get them massed produced. Simple to pull a batch out of the press engraved process but they just couldn't be bothered :( Black mark Uberti, hope you show a bit more class in the future and think about your customers much more than you do now. Cheers Chris

I PURCHASED ONE OF THESE AT A FLEA MARKET. PRINTED OUT THE HISTORY AND FRAMED IT; MOUNTING THE PISTOL IN MY LIVING ROOM. I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. HAVE WATCHED NO LESS THAN ONE PER DAY FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

I sure do enjoy watching your videos with the historical information as well as the shooting! It makes it twice the fun! Kind Thanks and keep your powder loaded for the next video! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Very much enjoyed as always! And I’d say you knocked those paper boys out of commission for sure! It is fun to shoot any distance and great fun longer distances. You have a great place there to do so! I also like your pouch for your capper! I’ll just bet you made it? What a very handy place to have your capper instead of feeling around a possibles bag. Kind Thanks, Many Blessings and More Fun Shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Like I said before I always enjoy watching you shoot (probably because of all the fun) and I also noticed a long time ago about the ‘rhythm’ that you have when shooting. Nice 50y shooting too👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Enjoy the rest of your weekend as well !

Looks a lot like a grizwald and gunniston

See a Cap & Ball video and I click !!!! Love the channel and content. Good shooting with classic confederate revolver, love the history too.

good revolver, Pietta could do the same with frame and handle of a 1851 and barrel of a griswold and gunisson... the only part not correct is the notch of the loading lever, different on a real leech and rigdon. I don't know why Uberti don't made it, not realy more difficult as the 51, perhaps the cost of the change...

I am always impressed at your long range off-hand shooting. Love that R&L also!

great vidio glade i waited for it ir very nice revolver and the shooting was super thanks for sharing

I enjoyed the video a lot! Thanks for it! By the way, a piece of PVC pipe put onto the loading lever works like a cham. Take care

To have such a short barrel, that pistol is very accurate in the right hands!! Great shooting and great video!!!! 6 out of 6 at 50 yards?? Quite impressive!!!!!

I always save my used caps. This'll be handy

I JUST LOVE THAT ABSAROKA/CROW BEADED SHOULDER STRIPS!!! I HAVE A CHEYENNE WAR SHIRT WITH A "BENCH COPY" OF A 1750s LANCASTER .50 CALIBER CREATED BY BUDDY BOWMAN OF TEXAS. DURING A CHALLENGE MATCH (MANY YEARS AGO), I HIT A PAPER PLATE FIVE TIMES IN A ROW (WITH ONE ROUND BALL BEING SPLIT BY THE ROD HOLDING THE PLATE) AT 100 YARDS. I MET A MARINE SNIPER THAT WAS JUST FLABERGASTED THAT SUCH SHOOTING COULD BE CONDUCTED WITH A FLINTER. AGAIN, I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS (NEWLY SUBSCRIBED). BY THE WAY, I WAS TICKLED WITH YOUR POWDER HORN STOPPER ... IT LOOKED LIKE A BALL STARTER.

A clean sweep! Pietta makes fine revolvers...but that one is exceptional. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots with conicals.

Ah HA! You do your chrono south pole like me, but I built a plywood light box to try to better my light readings. No IDEA? Why it took "me So Long" to find your Channel! Keep Your Smoke Poles SMOKING! Thank you Sr! May we have another?

Nice to know how easy them little nipple huggers are to make thanks for the tip

Why do you keep stepping back after each shot?

Hey J Stone how many guys cut down there 51 barrels? How common were 4-5 inch barrels?

If I only had a dollar for every time I've been cussed, flamed, and referred to as stupid/antiquated/etc. here on YT. when I mentioned that the human body has not changed enough over the last few hundred thousand years or so to make certain calibers obsolete and/or ineffective. With a bit of practice and the proper mindset your revolver would be a true fight stopper....Oh wait....That was already historically proven.

Excellent video 👍

great vidio sir love the beautiful gun i have one like it but havent shot it yet

What a Lovely cap and ball pistol! And what great Shootin! I prefer my holster on the left as you do. It’s seems more natural and comfortable to me. Especially riding the old trail,,,,well most likely. Now if I had one, a new bucket list item for me, I’d make bone or antler grips. But curly maple would be sweet as well. But this is perhaps the best shooting I’ve seen with a pocket Colt. I have a CVA so call Wells Fargo pocket that has no loading lever but it’s a pretty accurate pistol but I haven’t tried it at those distances. But that one you have? I can feel it in my hand! Funny how you can see a pistol like that and just feel it in hand and know how it will fit. So Thanks for sharing that fine pretty little fancy engraved beauty that shoots fine as frogs hair on chicken lips! Now that’s fine! And of course your study hand and the sacrifice the targets made for our enjoyment! Many Blessings and More Good Shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

I have one and it's very accurate and carry it regularly

If you get a chance, I would like to see a shot comparison of the Kerr bullet vs the Johnson and Dow. I think it would be interesting to see how they do. I have the Johnson and Dow mold and really like the way they shoot, but I don't have a Kerr.

I make my own lube with just beeswax and lard. When it is really cold, I just use plain lard.

Do you use .375 or .380 round balls?

Great video

Increase your powder charge should tighten up your group. My 40 likes 50 grains of 3f. Heard others use 55 grains.

carry is fine, but if you have to use it most likely the police will hold the weapon for evidence with out cleaning it. So in good time you get the corroded piece of rust back it will be ruined .

im excited about getting the nickel 51. its a beautiful piece and will be happy to show it off to my friends <3 great video.

Gorgeous pistol! Great shooting skills Cap!

Beautiful Navy Colt ! Duelist 1954 did a video on that same model a couple of years ago. Seems to be a desirable 1851 edition. Good shooting Jay, keep the videos coming !!

i like that revolver all that engraving is gorgeous

Great video and shooting no cap sucking or jams wow I got my Captain about a month ago have not shot yet looking forward to it did you do any prerange work other than cleaning

and that is a replica of an original gun presented to Capt. Schaefer of the Californians Militia when California was in the other wilder side of the wild wild est

I agree with you about the grips, they are cheesey and my grip's edges protrudes out past the front of the grip frame. Yours looks like they are fitted better than mine.

i have a first edition, shoots like yours. Handiest of all my Navy's.

Great shooting! Thanks for mentioning where you are aiming.

Next shoot some playing cards!

Outrageously expensive sawed off .36 with plastic grip! I just don’t get it… 🤷

You made my day with this pistol and your enthusiasm!👍 I was amazed at the accuracy and most of all the POA to POI from such a short sight radius. I'm right proud for ya!👍🫡

What's with pointing the gun up after every shot? Are you surrendering?

Pretty impressive J, looks like your new club shoot champion to me.

It's a good winter hobby. Be surprised how many you can make through the course of one winter. Same with molding bullets and making paper cartridges.

Great video as always sir! I recently got a Pietta 51 Navy, that had those plastic grips on it. They felt a bit toy-ish to me... I came across the Magna Tusk grips from Arizona Custom Grips (lot's of really cool options) Night and day difference in the way that gun feels in the hand now. It feels very substantial and solid. I'm certain you know more than I do about options for grips though...Love the channel! Keep up the great work!

Good shootin reckon I gotta get one now. 8:37
