Sixty-day wonder newbie telling 45D how to behave. I’ve read everything now.

My education is deficient in various ways but I appreciate learning all the nomenclature possible. What is a bearing spud? Is a butt joint the contact between the arbor slot and the wedge? “Barrel slots forward”? Forever I have checked end-shake by placing on half cock, muzzle elevated and...

With properly fitting caps (e.g. No.10 Remington) stock Pietta cones work great, for decades.

Well, good then and congratulations but why brass, exactly? I bought a steel frame Pietta .36 Remington from Cabela’s in 2011. It came with an over tightened grip screw that had cracked one grip panel. I sent it back and got a good one. You should go and do likewise. Maybe think steel while...

Pyro P is good in revolvers. People that say otherwise clearly have limited experience actually shooting with it.

0504 - Don’t even think about it.

Pyrodex. The powder many people love to hate. Along with everything else I’ve used Pyro P for decades. Shoots good and cleans up fine. Some guys problem with Pyrodex may have to do with something other than the powder.

A 21st Century problem,

Pietta plunger. It will fit. Contact VTI.

Name a state where a felon cannot own a firearm - but CAN own a black powder revolver. Just one.

Tappin away with that flask again. What is he even doing with that?

It’s not a hot dog. Use it. Shoot it. A few extended field trips will produce a patina far more convincing than anything you’ll get from friggin’ mustard. Honest wear gun metal gray is the best color in the world, but avoid the artificial and contrived - even on a brass Sixty. .

Hard to beat bee’s wax and olive oil. Easy to customize for ambient temperatures, too. Toss in some canning paraffin (surf board wax) if you have some handy.

Toys, are they? What a load. A statement like that is really rather surprising and shows a deep lack of consciousness.

What he said. It’s not the load, it’s the latch.

A few years ago Pietta made some .44 Remingtons with an extended grip. Maybe they still do. EMF would be who to ask. I use three Pietta Rems with my med/lg hands and never had a knuckle~rapture problem. If the shooter is able to keep his knuckle off the trigger guard he won’t get the shockwave.

Does your Pietta have a Hartford address? 1851?

Nice guns. Griswold & Gunnison.

It has been said, correctly, that the reliability of a Colt is inversely proportional to its size. Those pockets seem to give everyone fits.

Better tend to that rust.
