1862 Pocket Police

I purchased this little gem and I must say it is a nice little gun. It is a CVA 1861 Colt Pocket Police in .36cal. Can't wait to make some smoke with it.

Photobucket was acting up.

Glad you like it. It shoots good with a whole chamber full of Pyrodex P and a .375 rd ball. Never tried anything else so it may do better with a different load.

I am going to use Goex. I am saving the pyrodex for other uses. Got some .375 Round balls on the way. Crows and other garden destroying critters beware!!

I have one and just love it. I have small hands and it fits it like a glove. I use it in my civil war reenacting also. Liked it so much I bought a kit from the posible shop and am working on it. That way I have a pair of them. :thumbsup:

I have one I bought for Dixie many years ago, but steel frame. Probably the second most accurate Colt replica I have. Believe that's because the diameter of the cylinder bores are just a tad larger than the barrel bore (groove-to-groove). Supposedly the original Colts were made that way. Anyway, liked it's accuracy so much I put a blade front sight on it. Did use .375 balls, but can't recall how much 3FG I used, should write this stuff down 'cause I can never remember if I don't shoot it weekly.

I have the same memory problems as you. I usually just forget to write things down so I don't forget them!

I finally took this little fella out to shoot with the 1860. Although not very accurate right now it was fun to shoot. Shoots a little high but the milk jug it killed did not like it!
