Revolver photos

[Mark E. Prickett]

Avatar revolver, an Uberti 1860, with it's "fantasy" brother, a Pietta 1851 brasser in 44. Followed with another "fantasy" revolver I wanted for some time, an Uberti 1858 in stainless steel. I can't afford originals, so I am stuck with repros that I don't feel bad about shooting or carrying.

How's the accuracy of the stainless one. Also is it way hitting high? I'm probably buying one Friday.

Down to these at the present, plus a colonial pistol kit I put together a few years ago.

They are really good guns. I have 2 Euroarms '58's small grips, Bealls style, and my '58 SS Pietta. Nice big grips and heavier all around.

I had one as a teenager and shot the heck out of it but that was 45 years ago......

I know this is not the place but I have to show you my latest find. Made between 1909 and 1912 making it at least 110 years old. H&R 2cnd variation large frame .38 S&W five shot. It was missing grips, I got repros for $25, and missing one coil spring for SA sear, I had in parts bin. Listed as non functional. Purchased on auction for $31.00, shipping and handling cost more than pistol. Repaired and shoots just fine. The holster cost more than revolver. A companion for my 1851 Pietta with Defender .38 S&W conversion kit.

I like that, you’re one of the luckier people I know… Dang what a cute little shooter! I used to have an M60 Chiefs special .38. Nifty little guy and I miss it. Might need to find one of those to replace it instead. I’ve always liked top breakers. I once tuned up a DAO .38 Enfield for a woman who needed something to dissuade her lowlife ex husband. Good DA pull and 158 gr swc’s loaded to around 800 fps seemed like it would be helpful. Fortunately her ex also heard from some of the fellows that he wasn’t welcome anymore and took it to heart. Semper FI.

Really like the middle one, looks like it could be a well kept original.


BTW @Horse thanks for starting a great thread! (With a fluted Army top and center no less.) Well done.

Remington 1858 New Army - the real deal, it was made in August of 1864. Condition is fair, the bore is still surprisingly nice with good rifling.

One lonely revolver, but 2 cylinders! Points for that?

Pardon my knees. Reproductions: Navy, dragoon, army

 

[Colonial Boy]

The only c&b revolvers that I have, the Tranter in .442 cal and the Remington Army (Uberti)

and one that I no longer have, but really miss; the “Rugington”.

I love originals. They feel just so right in your hands. My problem is there are so many to choose from and the retirement wallet is not that deep anymore. One day, one day.
BK I may change my avatar to the Toxic photo. SF and Happy Birthday my brother.

Shoots OK, but I've only put four cylinders through her so far. Shot from standing at approximately 10 yards, seemed a little low. My son seemed to shoot it better than I can, but he is a wizard with handguns.

Love the Tranter & Adams type revolvers, bet they are excellent shooters

My original Colt 1862 Police Model with 6.5" barrel mfg in 1864 & next to an 1860 to relate size differences.
Still a tack driver with it's gain twist rifling.

I love the sights on that Dragoon

I don't have one yet but I've always liked the brass frame 60 Armies

The front one is not set down on the barrel, I need to work on that.

made better friends with the Remington. the 6th shot from this cylinder hit a 5" steel @ 25yrds. all shots from a rest @25yrds. the elevation difference is me experimenting with where in the substantial v notch to hold. I now have it dialed I think.
