Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

[hrfunk]

I just bought a revolver(1860 army) and was looking for a good holster for it. Where might one locate a well made slim Jim holster ?Or is there a good place to have a look a several different styles of holsters. Truthfully at this point im not sure what i want or what is available. Really enjoyed the vid, nicely done... Jack

If memory serves, MidwayUSA sells a slim-jim repro.

Enjoyable & entertaining video, thanks for sharing. You just earned another sub!

You can greatly reduce the fouling of the pistol by putting some lube over the bullets. When fired the lube gets splattered on the forcing cone & arbor keeping it lubed up & running smoothly. You can easily get 3x the shots out of a C&B revolver before you HAVE to clean them. I typically use Crisco as a cheap & readily available lube. It is also a good at preventing a chain fire which your wads do as well. With the lube though you dont need the wads unless you want to compress your load.
Another expedient is to just pull the cylinder & wipe it down with a rag.

I've got to get a Colt repro one of these days so I can compare them.

Depending on where you live in the Buckeye I could borrow you a couple to try out. I live in Kentucky but work in Cincinnati. I pretty much have every model that has been made a repro of except the Walker.

While I like my Remingtons I love my Colts. Much smoother & better pointers though the Remmy's do have an edge in accuracy.

Thanks for the offer. I’m 3+ hours north of you, so I doubt you’ll want to make that trip. Sooner or later I’ll get one of my own. I’ve always liked the styling of the 1860 Army!

Thank you, I happened upon Cochise leather and decided on an 1800’s style black powder rig. Look forward to seeing more of your videos...
