Well it's here. I guess it's what I expected. First impressions from a guy who considers himself a pistolero. Decades shooting pistols, 10s of thousands of rounds through 1911s and CZs and everything else worth trying and some stuff that wasn't. Basically, I can shoot. I know what I like. I like the good stuff, and I can tell the difference. That said, I've really never handled a cap and ball revolver, don't even own modern revolvers. Not a revolver guy. Bought this knowing that for me it would be a toy for fun. Actually, moving into the new house I figured I'd get a pair of these and even if I don't end up enjoying shooting them it would be cool to have a pair to hang over the fireplace anyway.
So anyway, it really looks nice, pretty good on fit and finish. Feel is decent quality. Feels good in the hand and points well. The trigger is good. The sights.... the sights are abysmal.
It is cool. I like it.
I can certainly see how in the mid 1800s a piece like this would definately have been something really awesome.
