New pistol

[Robert Egler]

I've been shooting a brass frame Remington New Army for a few years, and my loads have slowly but steadily crept upwards. Then I saw last week that Cabellas has the steel frame version on sale under $200, so I had to get one. Got the shorter barrel. Made a holster for it, but haven't darkened the holster yet. I do that by setting it outside in the sun for a couple days, gets a nice natural patina, but we've had rain or ice and I haven't got a chance to set it outside yet. By the way, the possum skin from the possum I got with the other Remington is now tanned, looks nice, I think I'll make a shooting bag with the possum pelt on one side and a gray fox pelt on the other.

Nice looking holster you made. Enjoy the pistol I am looking for a stainless buntline with sites to play with.

Beautiful. I have yet to purchase a pistol but I have been eyeballing one for a backup to my 1861 Springfield. Still reading up on my options. Lol
I have my 1855 cartridge box hanging outside, day and night, sun and rain (rain is rare here) trying to get some kind of aging to take place. Too fun!

check old south firearms, got a blued one for $365.00 SS likely more but excellent service and pistol arrived well tuned.
