You Hickock 45 and Dustin wineger are the only youtubers that I can rewatch on a daily basis great content I love our 2nd amendment history I carry 1860 Colt army 8 inch barrel every day
The King OfVirginia you better check out paul harrel lol he is very educational like Mr.Black
I watched all 3 videos in this series, all were very good and spot on. I only wanted to comment about a revolver that should have probably been mentioned. The 1858 buffalo revolvers, a 12" barrel remington that is very good for hunting. I know the video was not all inclusive, and just informational and that's why i wanted to leave the comment just so people watching and reading comments would here about it. It is on par with the walker on power,this is due to barrel length and not powder capacity.
i have been looking at one of those for a few yrs now..might get one next year when tax money rolls in
".666 Tyranasaurus Rex killer" LOL Where can I get one of those! Great video! Informative and fun too. :)
When i was hunting during Black powder deer season; i carried one. .44 Navy just in case.
You got me. 1860 army my first one man I miss it. Just digging around found your channel one of the best seems to me you cover most of my interest
Where can I get a 666 Tyrannosaurus Rex Slayer? LOL! Love this series. I remember it from back in the day & it really stands up to the test of time. Excellent work.
thanks for watching
I'm still out to learn more about percussion revolvers before getting one, and I stumbled upon this dated video. Damn, now I need a 666 Tyrannosaurus Rex Slayer.
always loved the navy 36. great stuff blackie cant wait for others tom
Looking forward to more info. Never had the pleasure of owning one, but, they've always fascinated me. And one thing is for sure, you're not going to be as affected by ammo shortages as you would with a .40.
I’ve been seeing boxes of 100 balls for just under $20.00...
I like this older version better. History is important. You have to know where you come from, to know where you are going.
I carried a 1851 Colt Navy .44 sherrif model up to now, I am getting a 1858 Piëtta Remington New Army .44 sherrif model tomorrow, cannot wait to shoot it.
i really like mine
Got it! Somewhat heavier than the Colt but a thing of beauty.
very informative, ... Cheers
great info!
I love your videos, I am ate up with black powder guns.
Colt was selling percussion pistols after 1873. They were in common use until 1880 or later.
yes they would often clean out parts bins and assemble what ever they could for dealers to take out west and sell these are often called mis-matched colts ..i have seen one like this a 1860 with a squareback trigger guard and grip from a 1851..they guns in the field were still often being used well in the 20th century in many backwoods places where people were poor and have to use what they could find.. a uncle of mine was a cop in the 1960 -70's and he took a original 3rd model dragoon off a guy who was trying to hold up a store with it in 1968.
Прелепи револвер такав купујем у Србији у септембру месецу.
I;ve got 2 Colt 1847 walkers .
Just begs me to try to find a mod to allow the loading of six 410 shot gun shell.... Judge style.
Was that Walker, or Texas Ranger? Always get dem kids mixed up
haha a walker
Walker hand cannon
I recently got a 1858 new army
+John Harrington i really enjoy mine..thanks for watching..safe journeys
+John Harrington I've had my 1858 for about a year. Love shooting it! I'm going to get the Howell conversion cylinder and fire .45 long colt cartridges.
Nice but I have a brass framed model so I wont try the conversion however it has shot reliably 40 grains
I almost got the brass frame. It's still currently cap and ball and has had a charge in it for about a year. I had read that Robert E Lee's pistol fired with a charge still in it 7 years after his death and wanted to see how valid that was. Not waiting 7 years but we'll see soon.
As long as you have a ring of lead shaved off it will fire
Is there more to this? Seems like it got cut off before you were finnished.
yes i have many percussion revolver videos this is one of my very old ones
do a search for
percussion revolver series
it should pop right up
Yep,I found them
Blackie if you have a 3D printer he can make you all you want cheaply
oh no.. blackie can just barely work a computer now 3D is out of the question lol
wouldn't it be more accurate to say they used lead projectiles since conical bullets were widely used in the civil war
ball was sometimes called rounds and we still use that today when we speak of ammo..( how many rounds ya bring to the shoot? )..bullets (conicals) were better for deep penatration in military closed ranks battle..so in modern times i figure all ammo is round ball unless they say its a bullet.( conical)
What is the meaning of your logo?
Funny he says the round balls mushroomed, but when they shoot them into ballistics gelatin, they do no such thing.
.mushroom is used to describe when modern hollow points expands...pure lead round balls obertrate..in part from the loading..and upon impact..try rolling a recoverd ball on a hard surface and it becomes clear the ball is no longer round..
Maybe not mushroom but I would say Flattened Out on impact causing a larger wound channel than just the standard ball size especially with softer lead ball and bullets.
didnt learn anything
Air between your ears!
