    Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review

    Hmm, a video featuring a chronograph and penetration test. That sounds like it would make for interesting viewing. You might just see that pop up someday! Howard

    Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review

    Interesting. It looks like the cut-outs for the nipples on your revolver were machined with larger openings. Apparently they changed that somewhere along the way. Howard

    Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review

    Thanks Gents! I'm glad you liked the video. I'm surprised to know an in-line capper works with the NMA. May I ask the make of that revolver? Howard

    Pietta 5.5" Sheriff's Model Review

    Hi all! A couple of weeks ago I promised a review of my new Pietta Sheriff's Model, and now here it is! Below is the link to my review and range test. Be sure to let me know what you think of this cool C&B revolver after you watch the video! Howard

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    Thanks for the offer. I’m 3+ hours north of you, so I doubt you’ll want to make that trip. Sooner or later I’ll get one of my own. I’ve always liked the styling of the 1860 Army! HRF

    If memory serves, MidwayUSA sells a slim-jim repro. HRF

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    Just to clarify, the holster I used for the 8" NMA (which was all but three shots), was a reproduction of a mid-19th century "slim-jim" style. The 5.5" Sheriff's model was drawn from a modern, generic, open-top holster. That was really the only holster I had that would fit the revolver and allow...

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    Interestingly, the former course had a good deal of tactical application. There were stages that required officers to shoot while moving. There was a low-light stage. There were stages that required shooting from cover, and there was a long-range stage. The entire course required 60 rounds to...

    Ahh, yes. That Sheriff's Model. I really like what I'm seeing with that one. I can't wait to spend some more time with it! HRF

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    Like I said, there is no state requirement (for which I'm glad. You can see what they came up with for a qualification course!). Individual departments can require whatever holster/retention level they wish. Virtually every officer in the state carries a holster with some sort of retention...

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    So I've read. I've got to get a Colt repro one of these days so I can compare them. HRF

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    So have I. One thing I've had drilled into my head during all the hours of firearms training I've undergone is to complete the task at hand in whatever manner it has to be done. There will be plenty of time afterward to lick your wounds. That's also why I re-cocked the pistol and fired another...

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it. I did not notice any pain/discomfort resulting from the trigger guard. The only slight "pain" I experienced was when hot pieces of fired caps fell into the top of my hand. That happened several times during the video, but it wasn't so bad as to cause any...

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    You are correct. The idea of carrying more than one firearm is not a new concept in law enforcement. Usually, an officer will carry a primary handgun and a smaller secondary handgun. This was precisely what I did in the video. There is actually a qualification course for the secondary pistols...

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    There are no "state-wide" guidelines for holsters. That is up to the individual departments. HRF
