No, not yet. Had to order some round balls and I want to upgrade the nipples. Hoping everything comes in this week.

spiffy!

I have always wanted one of those.

I'd get a buttstock for the thing, instant carbine revolver

Thanks Cynthialee ! That's what I'm saving my allowance for....lol

Before you get a buttstock does your gun have the 4th screw you need for attaching the buttstock? After looking at pictures of the buttstock on Dixies website I see you don't need the 4th screw. I should have looked first, sorry for the misinformation.

 

[user 52142]

No worries Smokepokesam, I had to go look also.

Mighty proud of those buttstocks, plus they are not in stock.

Awesome! Congrats

Awesome! Congrats

Thank you !!!!

Thanks Wizzard, I noticed that also, but if they can't keep them in stock I guess others do also. You know that you have to show pictures or do a video of you shooting it and then again when you get the stock.

I havn't seen detachable buttstocks in stock anywhere for years. I have one that a German friend found over there and sent to me.

I plan on making a video first time I take it to the range.

Now to find a holster for this hog leg

A short holster would be acceptable. Most guys who owned long barrel pistols carried them in a belt or in a regular holster with the bottoms open. You could very easily have a holster made. That can run you anything from a couple hundred bucks to, well......sky's the limit!
I just finished this slim Jim for my cousin's 1860

I have that pistol as well. I’m very happy with it. I bought a cross draw slim Jim holster for it. And about two inches stick out, no bother for me.

Where did you get the Slim Jim holster ? Would not bother me either to have it sticking out. Thanks

Believe it or not, it's my first holster. I've been diving into leatherworking about a year now and I've made a bunch of stuff. The holster was alot of fun. As always, I know I'd do a few things differently if I were to do it again.
