I love the Remington design, easy dismounting of the cylinder and solid top strap with very good sights. I wish I did not rap my middle finger knuckle on the back of the trigger guard.

Bill,

That's why I like the double trigger Tranter. Middle finger has something to hang on to so can't get beat up.
My middle finger is all bent with arthritis, and gets belted with most other pistols.

Hope it's warm down there!

If you need more than seven rounds hunting hogs maybe you need to reconsider how you're hunting. Or if hunting around a buggy, then keep a couple more sixguns on it. Keep them the same for familiarity.

The 1858 Remington 5.5" barrel model can't be beat. My Pietta is flawless & swapping cylinders is a snap. Accuracy is outstanding, and it's easy to carry.

Since my idea of a reason to have a holster gun in the woods is simple, to be used for a "coup de grace" shot on down-but-not-out deer. For that purpose the little .36 1862 police revolver, any barrel length, is ideal IMHO. And with five shots, I'd feel quite well armed.

 

[Pukka Bundook]

Och, A guide dirk wall do the job! LOL!



Mine has been used a couple of times Hanshi. Only a couple, but it worked awfy wheel..

if you're looking to turn Porky into little white packages, i'd go with a dragoon, and load it heavy ... those ursine types get really nasty really fast and they can mix you with enough dirt to start a respectable rose garden if given half the opportunity.

good luck with your project!

No need for that much horse power up close. Loaded with a wide nosed conical and an energetic powder you get the equivalent of a .45 ACP or a little better from a NMA or ”˜60 Army. Or the ROA which handles a bit more powder. Deepened chambers or the ClassicBallistix cylinder and you get Dragoon performance without the weight.

Aye, there's a place for a knife and there's a place for brains!
I have a very great respect for pigs of any type. If an old sow "Woofed" at me when we were doing something with piglets, I'd be over the wall, and Then look back!
Nothing on earth can bite like a pig. No dog comes close.
PS, I thought you meant "Porcupine" for a start!... That's what they call them up here

hogs can be bad ass!!
used to coon hunt with a farmer that had a 450lb. boar for his breeding and used to have a very large german shepherd dog. one day that hog killed and ate both back legs off the dog before they knew it.

Surprising no one has mentioned (sorry if I missed it), the RUGER OLD ARMY.

That would be my next Cap & Ball.

RJDH, if you ever wished to favor us with a photo of your Tranter Adams Kerr, the pilgrim would be most grateful. The British revolvers are mighty scarce in these parts.

 

[Obi-Wan Cannoli]

I would like to keep it as a .44 since I have the 1860.

It'll say .44 caliber on the revolver, but there are slight deviations (in the thousandths of an inch) among several different calibers in the .44 range.

Make sure you bring your 1860 with you when you purchase the new revolver so that they can measure it out and get your next revolver in the exact same caliber if that is your intention.

Also, I wouldn't draw a BP revolver on a pissed off hog that was charging me.

 

[Gee Dog]

"Also, I wouldn't draw a BP revolver on a pissed off hog that was charging me."

Why not? Don't the hogs where you live fall down after being well shot?

The 5.5 inch .44 Remington makes a fine field carry gun. Mine is a Pietta and works real well.

Uberti CCH frame 4.75" 1858 Remmy copy

handles quick, very accurate, can buy spare cylinders to carry pre-loaded for quick-change backup.

 

[M. De Land]

I don't think anything point shoots as fast or as well as the 1860 for quick shots. I'd get another 60 and I currently own a ROA and 58 Rem Pietta.
More power is always handy when dangerous game shooting but only if it can be directed accurately.

 

[BullRunBear]

Hope it's OK to post this here.

Cabelas is having a sale on all their Pietta cap and ball revolvers. 50 bucks off each one. It started on May 29 and goes through June 17th. Assuming they have more than usual in stock at the stores, it might be a chance to handle different models for feel and balance.

Goodness knows I don't need another C&B revolver but that sale has me thinking. :hmm:

Snip~

Wait what?! There is ALWAYS room for another firearm, and a C&B revolver is an EXCELLENT choice! :grin:

What is a " CCH " frame?
