Q: "do you really need that many?" A: "yes.... yes I do..."
Love the cap and ball revolvers. Have owned a few in my time. Great stuff!
What are you doing here cowboy?
Agreed
Didnt know "see you down the trail" meant we would cross paths here lol.
My husband got me into cap and ball revolvers. He really has me sold on Armi San Marco pistols. Thanks for the video.
Tracy Dillon I was a fan of ASM too.
A man can't have to many revolvers !
ww321 Only as many as you care to clean! 👍🏻
Can't believe your most watched vids are modern black plastic guns! Great info on these metal and wood guns.
It is interesting to think that these pistols have had more active use, and for many more years than the originals would have had, most originals were probably retired after 20 years of use, and here we are shooting then actively after 50 years as I am.
@@71simonforrester Hello Simon, I no longer live in the UK, but there should be no problem if you join the Muzzle Loaders Association of GB, They will point you in the right direction to a local club and with your membership you should be OK, there are club ranges all over UK. Good luck!
Found your channel when I bought my first 1851. I learned a lot and deepened my passion for BP guns through your videos. Thank you for your great content.
I'm glad that you've enjoyed it.
@@duelist1954 I'm not gonna lie, I originally started looking into cap and ball revolvers because I found out I can carry them in my state at 19 years old until I turn 21, when I'll be able to carry a modern handgun with a license. I stumbled upon your channel when I was looking for the best option for a self defense cap and ball revolver, and after I bought my .36 caliber 1851 Navy and .44 caliber 1860 Army, I've watched more and more of your videos. I'm now a huge fan of black powder guns and I thoroughly enjoy them. I have a new hobby I'm passionate about, thanks to you lol.
@@TexasHellcat1836 Thanks for letting me know. Welcome to the fraternity!
That Dance and brothers sure does have a look all to its own.
Just an overall good guy. The kind of guy i'd like to have a beer with...
Them: What’s your thoughts on blackpowder pistols?
Me: Yes
Mike you have made an old man very happy.First gun a Buntline and then it just got better and better THANK's
I'm a felon who cannot truly own a legit ' legal ' firearm considering I'm a free man and have been since 11/06/06; and the second Amendment pretty much etches in stone my right to bare arms no matter what
I decided to go cap and ball
It's a pietta .36 cal 1860 Army
3inch snubby with eagle head grip.
I love my gun
Not a gun
The Felony , was it murder 1 with a fire arm ?
@@jonathangriffiths2499 doubtful. Many level 3 misdemeanors will keep someone from EVER owning any firearm that uses smokeless powder. 2A infringements are unConstitutional.
@@jonathangriffiths2499 that's funny
It is legal in many states (and Federal law) to own a percussion gun without any restrictions, as they are considered "antiques and curios" instead of firearms. However, if loaded it can be considered a firearm with the same use restrictions as a cartridge gun. It is not loaded if the caps are off.
good for you man. wars were fought with these guns, they aren't bb guns. all it takes is one shot.
I only have four, but I love to take them to the range, and often. I shoot more cap and ball than I do cartridge. Mike's videos got me started. I have the 1847 Colt Walker, 1851 Navy (.36), 1858 New Army, and 1860 Army. Don't tell my other guns, but my favorite is that 1858 Remington. But I love them all.
I love the custom barrel on your Ruger old Army. I love it. I have the Pietta 1851 Navy steel frame Buntline in 44 caliber. Love it
I'm glad we have you. GREAT JOB & THANK YOU !!!
Absolutely love it , all your videos are always of interest in some way or another
thank you for sharing. we have all been hoping for this haha i enjoyed it.
Man! My favourite, new channel. Straight to the point, concise, with plenty of detail,and with a relaxed delivery. Excellent, only excellent!
Thank you for sharing. It always makes my day to see so many nice cap n ball revolver collection. Beautiful
Mike, I truly appreciate your videos. Nice collection of revolvers.
Sweet collection. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Mike .
Great show and tell !
I love your collection of cap and ball percussion revolvers. Thanks for sharing.
Wow really appreciate your collection ...Thank you you have given me a good Idea of what I will purchase next...Cheers
Nice collection! I really learn a lot from your videos, they are interesting as well as informative.
Thanks for the video Mike! I would love to see a similar vid with you cartridge revolvers some day! Enjoy the channel and all the excellent content! God Bless!
thank you for making this video. i find it hard with many of the cap and ball revolvers to pick them out as many have an over all simular look and geting all these designs in one place has helped me out a bunch
excellent collection mike thank you for the video
Very informative. Awesome collection!
Nice collection! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice collection. Thank you for sharing. I have two now, both steal frame Piettas, 1860 Army and 1851 Navy in .44 Cal. And it is Christmas morning, Merry Christmas. We are going shooting this Christmas morning.
I now added 1858 Pietta Remington New Model Army. I'm looking forward to shooting it. Thank you for sharing your cap n ball revolvers
Awesome collection!! Im very jealous!
Never shot a cap and ball revolver in my life. After watching Mike's videos, I decided to get into it. Now I've got an 1858 Remington and the 1860 Colt. I really enjoy them. Mike taught me how to load, shoot, and clean these revolvers. I've taken my sons shooting with me, and now they are hooked. Thanks for bringing these to us and showing us the hobby.
That's an Excellent combination, you have, there!
A wonderful collection!
I am slowly gathering a collection but it's a lot more effort in the UK as we have to justify each one with a reason - beyond just 'because they're beautiful and I want one.'
"Because they're beautiful and I want *two*!" :-D
That was AWESOME! Some day i will have that many, For now my as you said 1851 Navy 44 fantasy gun is all I have.
Very enjoyable show Thanks
Very nice collection, I enjoyed watching it
Very, very nice collection!
Nice collection Thanks for sharing
Really enjoyed the video .Thank You.
I have the Dixie Gun Works Whitney and I love it. It's an absolutely lovely piece of equipment
Too many? No such thing. Nice collection. I see that the LeMat is my next cap and ball purchase.
Nice selection.
Mike great collection.
Some beautiful revolvers. I have had a Ruger Old Army in stainless since around '84 or '85. I put 9 Lbs. of Pyrodex through it the first couple years I had it. I don't know how many rounds it has fired altogether but a lot. It is still tight and the trigger is oh-so-wonderful.
I need some Colts and Remingtons.
Really nice collection. Congrats.
My first cap and ball anything was a Pietta LeMat (which is probably one of the worst to start with) but this man assisted greatly in the process of getting what I need and for that I have this channel saved
Excellent.
That is a good start!
Wow you have a beautiful collection.
Hi Mike, I currently own 40 BP revolvers and it's all your fault. lol
I always enjoy your videos.
One of the things I did to my Uberti revolvers was to fix the Uberti short arbor. Pietta gets the arbor right, but Uberti still makes their revolvers with short arbors. Do you fix your Uberti arbors?
Regards,
Richard
break in mikes house he probably get creative and shoot you with a rare cannon or black powder Gatling gun no one has ever seen.
Texas Citzen And what does that have to do with a short arbor fix?
Black Mesa Research Facility this is gold
Love your programs nice black powder pistol collections!!
Man I love your videos
Nice collection of revolvers.
Hi Mike I’m in England and really love your channel. Sadly being a pistol owner isn’t possible here, but if it was I’d only be interested in historical firearms like yours. Best wishes.
Sadly, I've never owned, or fired a: Ruger Old Army, Starr, DA or SA, or a LeMat. Thank you for sharing all of yours, with us! 👍
Old Army Rugers are very good, too bad they don't make them no more, so I heard.
I think that the Starr revolvers are very under appreciated...I think they are a better platform than the colt and most definitely have a stronger frame
Yes. They have a better frame, but they are not as ergonomic. The originals had a tendency to chain fire because the nipples are more exposed than Remingtons or Colts
That’s a nice collection. I plan on getting to that point one day.
My mind goes bonkers trying to keep all these revolvers straight.
Just watched your video of your collection, it's been raining for three weeks now and I want to go shoot. I love your cap n ball revolvers collection
Sorry, reacted to soon,you've got it. You've lots of beautifull guns!
Thanks for another good video. I've only had a cap-and-ball revolver (Uberti 1858) for a short time, but I love mine. I hope to get an 1860 model from Uberti. Beyond those two, I might look for a Walker at some point, I don't feel a need to collect a bunch of them. I just enjoy shooting them.
You need as many as you want!
A collection of note. The envy of any red-blooded American man. Thank you, Mike for the look-see.
hopefully one day they will have more reproductions of double action cap and ball revolver like the adams revolver that you could show us in videos like this in the future
This reason is why I changed to the Ruger old army in the full frame. Never had a cap jam in that pistol.
Nice collection
Nice collection you have there, what would be interesting is if you made a video of if you lived in the 1850-1870 time period which of your Cap & Ball revolvers would you keep if you could only keep two. (I know, tough choice)
The bulldog that you made is my favorite
good video Mike.
i own a lot of cap and ball firearms.
Just got my 2nd Remington a 5 1/2" along w/my 8" first, I have 3 extra cylinders, Have a 6x Lee conical mold and a 2x Johnson&Dow mold, Have a dual canister rock polisher : I make BP with willow.Got a corning press.
thank you
Hi Mike, Since you included a couple of the "fantasy" '51 .44s. I was a bit surprised you didn't have an 1873 SAA percussion model from Pietta or Uberti...I have one on order from EMF and I'm waiting (somewhat patiently!) for them to come off back order. Great collection!
Awesome. I don’t know what it is about powder guns but they are addictive! Rifles too.
New to cap and ball. Only have an 1860 Uberti and I love it, just got a repro US flap holster
Those leaf sights on the dragoon are actually historically correct.Colt outfitted some of those guns with those sights for use with the detachable buttstock.
I don't have any cap and ball revolvers........at this precise time. I have one coming to me, probably the end of next week. One of those "fantasy guns", I'm sure.....an 1851 Colt navy Snub Nose 44Cal., made by Pietta, imported by Taylors. I only purchased it because I really like how it looks. I doubt I'll actually ever shoot black powder and ball out of it.
Hey Mike. That was a good video, thank you for sharing. I was wondering if you would do a similar video on the holsters you have? I think that would be really cool.
Hello Mike New Fan. But Hi from Grove Oklahoma. Live and Work at Grand Lake O the Cherokee.
This is the first time outside the US Army I have seen the word " ogive " used in a sentence.
The " Ogive " we had was at the very end of the non nuclear warhead we used with out Lance Missiles.
It was a metal aerodynamic cover at the nose of the warhead under which was the controls we would use to
make the settings on the warhead section for ground burst or air burst.
We pronounced it " Oh-Jive " though haha.
( Takes " Use ogive in a sentence " off his bucket list )
4th time I've watched this video love the guns mike
Sweet
Cool Channel Bro 😎👍💯🍺🇺🇸⛏️
I don't open any cap & ball revolvers, but I am interested in the history. I love history in general and firearms are a big part of history.
Don't feel bad Mike, I have that many and never wrote an article. ;) There's nothing like handling them to see how they developed over time.
I love this video and I am ways come back to it and watch it again. Could you do a video of your muzzleloading rifles
Nice group of pistols Mike.
Hi-Points rule. All tacticool all the time!
Great video Mike! Have to say I was quite surprised to see you stop at the horse pistols! You don’t have a 1862 police model in your stable? I absolutely love my Uberti 1862 police with 6” bbl. it is a great gun. I have put wire trigger/bolt springs on most of my pistols, wow how smooth it makes them. Have you done that to yours? I hope you can keep “evil Roy” at bay for May years to come!
After getting my 50 cal CVA rifle I was wanting a pistol to go with it I passed on a Patterson but got a Uberti 36cal 1862 police thanks to you I've learned a lot watching your videos over and over but now I need to know how to remove scratches and to re-blue maybe a video would help "hint hint "
Always liked C&B have a pietta 1860 in 44 and now that i own enough property to shoot im going to get a 51 navy in 36
The Paterson is the most beautiful.
Never ever sale your cap n ball revolvers, over time buying them you will end up with a very nice collection. I'm following your advice on not selling only buying. Thank you
Nice
If you ever hurt your leg you can use that long barreled one as a crutch. Those may be replicas but you’ve got some serious $ in revolvers there. I’m jealous.
Maybe do a video on how you store (or display) the plethora of BP handguns you have? I'm starting to collect a few more than can fit on the shelf in the safe, please give me some tips/ideas on how to keep them in good condition when storing them. Thanks!
Of course a mainstream gun gets more views. Great thing about this channel is it’s for a specific group.
I too have an ASM Walker decades old and an Uberti Walker just acquired this year. It would be nice to get a horse to carry the three of us. Me and two pistols.
Sir, as usual, an excellent cap and ball revolver video. I enjoy them all.
Although I have a modest collection myself, I notice that you do not have any reproduction Colt second or third generation pistols. Is this by choice? Can you comment on this?
Thanks for the peek into your personal collection. I'm wondering how you store your cap n ball revolvers. I'd love to have mine on display but not sure if that's a good idea for the gun itself.
