Does anyone bring 2 revolvers to the range and load and shoot both?

[Stantheman86]

I figure I might as well get another 1st Model Dragoon at some point to have the "Brace" and then, why not just load them both up and shoot 12 instead of 6?

I never hear of anyone doing this ?

I have two 1858 Pieta's in 44 caliber and an 1851 Navy in 36 caliber. Haven't been shooting a lot lately due to the weather but I take all three out so I shoot 18 instead of 6. Lots of fun.

It occurred to me that I never did it .

Sure I've brought numerous "unmentionables " out but never a pair of percussion revolvers.

Maybe someone will get really bored and make a Blackbeard type rig with 10 cap and ballers , and load them all up. Would be an amazing video

I typically take my NMA and my ROA, along with my Deerstalker and make a long day of it as I don’t get to the range much (used to go once a month when it was around the corner. Now it’s over an hour a way and through Austin traffic, which I despise).

I've taken several along with extra cylinders to the range. I often load but don't cap all at home and then cap and fire at the range. A friend of mine will bring 5 or 6 different cap and ball guns at one time and shoot all plus about 6 other cylinders full. It make for a lot of shooting without reloading. Also, I often give unmentionable shooters a chance to shoot and they often become hooked. I gave a younger guy a chance to shoot my remington repro a couple of weeks ago and he was grinning from ear to ear. I think he was also surprised at the power and shot the metal targets at the range at 20 meters. They make an nice ring with hits.

one gun? What do you do with the other hand? Pick your nose? Both my hands are filled with Colt pattern percussion guns. More fun, more smoke, Gunfighter is the way to go.

Ouch, to much cleaning!

 

[bang]

My favorite is my pair of 1858 target and 6 spare cylinders.

 

[wb78963]

when you have a system cleaning is simple.
I have a system,
Pull the barrel and cylinder off.
Drop the cylinder in a jar of moose milk to soak.
Use a mop wet with moose milk to swab out the barrel.
use the swab to clean out the chambers.
I don't remove the nipples but once every 100 rounds. Just give a half turn then tighten every time.
let everything drain while you wipe down the frame and hammer with moose milk.
Check barrel and chambers with a clean patch, then the do the same with a Ballistol patch.
Re-assemble go to the house and have a cold adult beverage.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do. But only when no guys are looking.

 

[Boston Bill]

LOL

 

[mahd776]

Absolutely! If shooting cap and ball always at least 2 and sometimes 3. If I gotta clean might as well clean more than 1!

 

[Redstick Lee]

2, sometimes 3........I load "off gun" using a 1/2 ton arbor press until all cylinders are full.....then cap & fire all.
rinse & repeat.
Usually a ROA 7.5 stainless.....a Uberti 4.5 CCH '58 Remmy copy....and a 7.5 1860 Colt copy by Pietta.
all 3 get 30gr 3f , a lubed felt wad cut from thrift store hats, and a .457 RB

 

[11th corps]

I have two Ruger Old Army's. When I get them to the range I shoot both. Going to have to clean anyway so why not?

 

[Juice Jaws]

I do all the time. Have two colt .36 and one colt .31 play Josey Wales, it ain't easy but lots of fun.

 

[Stantheman86]

I'm going to add another holster to my rig to have 2 Dragoons , one on the left hip butt forward and one on the right butt to the rear.

 

[jdw276]

Have to bring two, inly way to maintain balance and walk straight.

 

[Dashing Leper]

The real question is: Would the range let you shoot both at the same time?

 

[Trusty-58]

Have to bring two, inly way to maintain balance and walk straight.

Hi trusty-58 here I'll just bring my 1847 36 cal dragoon

 

[Stantheman86]

Whaaaaaat is that did you make that??

We were just talking about a .36 Dragoon
