The Fathers Day sale at Cabelas knocks 50 dollars off all their Pietta C&B revolvers. That got me looking at the shorter barrel, steel frame Remington 1858. All my C&Bs are the usual 8 inchers so I've never handled the short model.
How is the balance compared to the longer barrel versions?
Are they harder to reload with the shorter ramrod?
Are they more comfortable (lighter) for smaller folks? (I seem to attract kids and women who want to try BP guns, especially when they see me shooting at the range. Always fun and I really enjoy teaching them. Any chance to introduce newbies to muzzleloading is nice.)
Any other thoughts about this model would be appreciated. Thanks.
