    They really can burrow! Friend had her garden destroyed! I might visit her with one of my flintlocks needing target practice! But possums are ok in my book. My wife and I had some as inside pets. Never bit us. Even used a litter box and roamed our home like silent cats. Ate everything we fed them.

    Identify this colt pistol?

    I wondered why it was called a Walker Dragoon. It seemed it should be one or the other. Thanks for the clarification. It seemed to me that over-eager-zealous cowboy/ranger were over charging the Walker, so Colt made the Dragoon with a shorter cylinder so that no-one would no longer have the...

    Like Robert Duval pistol whipped a bartender who had refused to serve him. Changed his mind and decided to serve Duval. Then Duval went to a gunsmith and had his LD re-embellished again as it had been worn down.

    Lonesome Dove flying my way!

    Ok, getting into handguns and wanted one of the SuperGuns. The 1847 Walker Colt pistol. Is being shipped 2nd day air. It can hold 60 grains of BP and considered one of the most powerful on the planet until the .357 Magnum introduced in 1935. Doubt I will charge it to this amount. My .54 cal...

    Identify this colt pistol?

    According to one pound is about 7,000 grains. Divided by 60gr is about 117 per shots. And $30/pound (I just paid) for BP equates to about 26cents each. Hmm. I see 45 ACP - 230 Grain TMJ - Speer LAWMAN - 1000 Rounds · 6 Review(s). Regular Price: $455.00. Special Price: $430.00. 43.0¢ per...

    Identify this colt pistol?

    Yes, I also use 50grains in my .54 Cal Jeager. The early Walkers had fluted cylinders that could blow up when max to overload. I don't plan to shooting 60grains! Just to just have bp supergun!

    Identify this colt pistol?

    Just to qualify this pistol as being a Walker. Not that I would shoot it above 35grains. I just want to have a bp supergun! I think it was called a "horse pistol" because it was carried on a horse. I think there was a double holster that draped over the saddle with a hole in the middle over the...

    An Uberti, but Walker? Dragoon?

    Cimarron 1860 "McCulloch Colt" or antiquing a 1860 Army Uberti

    Cimarron Colt McCullough 1860 SAA has arrived. Looks good with the antique finish, but the grips are beat up. Is that a part of the "antiquing?" Or damaged?
