I glad your wife is a keeper. I know the feeling. One Christmas in the mid 80’s my late wife gave me a Pietta Colt Pocket Pistol with an extra cylinder. I still have it and treasure it as one of my favorite bp revolvers.

A truly great wife is a treasure beyond value and should be revered above all else. You will never realize her true importance in your life until the angels take her away. An empty house is a very lonely place. 54 years was not enough and I miss her terribly.
Ok, great wife and all, but on to practical matters....
It's a brass-frame revolver. Keep the loads on the light side and maybe you don't want to try conical bullets. Read the fine manual and follow the directions. Number 10 caps probably. They've been hard to come by of late, but keep looking, don't try #11 caps unless you want to experience a chain-fire.

Tony, I bet your friends all call you Lucky! It sounds like you realize just what/who you have in your wife, good for you. She's a treasure, indeed.
As for the gun, well, ALRIGHT! You've come to the right place. There's good people here, ask away, we're happy to help. We were all in your shoes at one time so don't feel embarrassed to ask about something that you feel is too basic, glad to help.

Welcome to the forum.
She received some nice flashy wrist jewelry and lots of other trinkets Though, I wonder if if could be melted if necessaryAnthony - I trust she also got an awesome thoughtful gift, powder and lead perhaps?? Leather and pillow ticking??
. If y’all don’t see me around for a while, the answer is a hard NO.. lol.I did buy a nice shiny .32 round ball mold. I told her it was for her as well. I got that stern look that most redheads give.
Anthony
Thank you for the advice. I did note that from reading some threads to be easier on the brass framed ones. And I will bolo on the #10’s if necessary.

You (and me) are very blessed indeed. She is a looker, a worker and a shooter (or shooters best friend). What else is there? Actually my son scored right along with us. His wife is a looker, cooker, worker, shooter, hunter, fisher, best friend and worlds best DIL.
Happy VDay to all you guys and gals.

Hang on tight, she's one to keep! My wife must be her cousin, she's a keeper, too.
I was married to an excellent woman. She kept me when I wasn't particularly keepable. Bought me a TC .54 cal rifle kit in 85. I got her a TC Seneca .36 cal in 86. She was a good wife. Passed in 96 and from what I've seen and met since then I haven't seen or heard of one I'd marry. Wouldn't be fair to either of us. Wives like yours and mine aren't that common any more I don't believe.
I guess being an Anthony is lucky. My wife and I are going on 47 years. She let me buy a Dragoon and a LeMat so she choose a stainless steel percussion snub nose 44; she calls it her "Dick Tracy gun". She can hit steel at 18 yards and loads BP, wad, and RB as fast as I can. She also wanted an unmentionable for the nightstand, a small revolver. We don't go to bed mad. I once made the mistake of buying her a 400 dollar set of earings. She immediately gave them back and ordered me to return them and get golf clubs. Now she asks at least twice a week: Range, Sporting clays, or golf. What a woman!!!!!

Real early on in my marriage I was about 20, I found that it was a bad practice to buy the wife things to clean house with, appliances and such. They like personal stuff a lot more.
Building memories…now buy her a Kibler SMR kit in .40 cal that she can build (wow) for you
No doubt. Also, don’t buy women clothes or shoes. I buy her a gift card to the places she likes, and she can decide. Otherwise, I’ll have my rear in a sling ha, ha! Thankfully, she’s very easy going.

She's a keeper. My wife once bought me a Colt 22 Peacekeeper for Christmas. Been married 54 years.
