Two new pistols

[vikingsword]

Well, I've looked for a few years for a really nice Rogers and Spencer and finally found one I liked enough to purchase. It's in like new condition so I can't wait to try it out. I was also looking to see if I could find a spare cylinder for it and got lucky on "the Bay", finding one the seller could not identify, so I made an offer which was accepted, it's brand new. I also latched onto an 1851 navy "London", brand new in box. My gun fund is now depleted for a few weeks which is ok, because looking and spending is exhausting to me. Wes

When I had the money to spend I always found the looking and spending very exciting!

I like the Rogers & Spencer. Very solid rugged handgun. Only thing I don’t really care for is the sky high hammer spur. Everything else is awesome.

That's funny as I find the hammer spur on my Rogers & Spencer to be a plus, makes cocking it easier for me.

Everyone’s different thank God! I’m not a small guy (6’1””, 230lbs) and my hands are average size, but maybe it’s my age (67) and arthritis is making it difficult, but I find it a bit long of a reach for me. I had contemplated cutting and welding the spur to make it a bit lower like some do with Colt single actions for cowboy action shooting, but I will likely leave mine stock. Mine is excellent condition and stainless steel which I don’t believe Euroarms made a whole lot of. I know they had the plain steel I believe they called the London model or something also.

It may be my style of shooting, under recoil I let the revolver rock back in my hand making the hammer spur closer to my thumb, grab the spur and rock the revolver back down while cocking it.

I will throw in on this one. The Roger’s and Spencer was nice looking, but just felt awkward. The Remington or the colt either one just feels better in my humble opinion. To each his own. Just have to try them all to decide what works best for you.
