Want to purchase an Uberti 1851 Navy, but have some questions
Last weekend I was at a Cabelas and just happened to think to ask a salesperson if they've ever gotten in any caps in recent memory. He told me they'd just gotten in a small number of Remington #11s. I grabbed 7 of them. So they are being made, just not in sufficient numbers to last on the... -

New gun day!!
Compared to what else was available at the time a percussion pocket pistol was an effective weapon. Compared to what is available today it's hopelessly obsolete. Having said that, dead is still dead regardless of whether it happened in 1852 or 2022. It's still fun though to play with something... -

Uberti 2nd model Dragoon.
I must be lucky then, as both of my 1851s and my Dragoon have an even cylinder gap with no dragging when assembled. At least they have that much going for them. I think when my Dragoon was made the assembler called the shop manager over to come look at it. "Hey Tony, look at 'dis. 'Dis one is... -

Pietta vs Uberti pistol
The only thing I hate about Piettas is the fact that they slap the obnoxious FOR USE WITH BLACK POWDER ONLY warning right on the outside of the barrel for everyone to see. At least Uberti tucks it under the loading lever so you actually have to look for it. -

Uberti 2nd model Dragoon.

Belgian 1860 replacement nipples
Thanks, I will see if I can order a set or two. This is too nice a revolver to turn into a wall hanger. -

Online sales craziness
Midway had Uberti Walkers in stock last month for $420. I hemmed and hawed over either that or a Dragoon, and finally decided the latter would be a bit easier to manage. It was also on sale for $370. :) I can't explain why guns sell for such exorbitant amounts on Gunbroker, other than the fact... -

Belgian 1860 replacement nipples
Hi LJW, I've seen that information before. Unfortunately the guy in Germany who made new nipples doesn't seem to be in business anymore, and I lack the tools to modify Pietta nipples to fit. With all the shops here in the USA selling blackpowder nipples of every shape and size imaginable (Track... -

Belgian 1860 replacement nipples
Hello gentlemen, Does anyone know of a source for replacement nipples for a Belgian Centaure 1860? Honestly I'm not even sure what the correct size should be. I've checked all the online shops I can think of but I'm not seeing any mentioned for sale. TIA
