Colt 1860 Army 2nd. Gen. & Slixshot nipples
I made them for myself, I took a real small Dremel bit and ground one hole in each nipple. They really do a good job ! -
Cap shortage profiteering...
It is nuts right now what people will pay for ammo, caps, powder, anything gun related. They have bidding wars the last few minutes of a auction. -

Is this 1858 an original "real deal?"
It is a Fake, another big red flag is no photo of the serial number, 99% of gunbroker sales of originals show the serial numbers of the revolvers. My guess is you could research the originals number and find out when it was built adding to the authincity of the revolver. In this case it would... -
Percussion cap availability- when??
Until someone buys Remington and gets it up and running Ammo is going to continue to be limited. Remington produced 1/3 of what was on the shelves before they went Bankrupt. A friend reminded me of this fact when I was complaining about the shortages of everything to do with shooting. -
Removing nipples
Birchwood Casey makes a nice tube of lube filled with "Never-seize" liquid paste under the use of shotgun screw in chock tube lube. I have been using this for years and years for all of my nipples and even screws. I don't remove the nipples in revolvers after every shoot, I usually strip them... -

4f Powder In A Revolver
I've been shooting 38 grains of 4F in my stainless steel 1858 for years. I use .457 lead balls, a wonder-wad under it and crush in 38 grains to achieve over 1000 FPS and great accuracy and killing power. (took a doe at 72 yards). I use this loading table chart. M.D.Smith's Blackpowder page 2... -

Revolver carry safety
I think some here are thinking we carry our revolver as our main carry gun for personal safety, I am talking about how I have carried mine for over 50 years, fully loaded, but as my side arm during hunting. -
Revolver carry safety
Never in 50 plus years of carrying my fully loaded (6) revolver with the hammer resting on the cylinder notch have I ever had a "Shift" or "Partial cylinder rotation" as many here are saying. I also make my own holsters and always want to have the hammer under control by a loop to avoid any... -
Explosive Cannonballs
But yet at Gun Shows you can buy "Exploding" handgun bullets loaded with magnum primers and a small amount of BP into the hollow-point of the round. They even have for sale 22's that explode with a small charge in them. (like the ones used to try and kill Pres. Reagan). The BATF might just... -
When hog hunting dont go as planned with video
Kinda like hunting people at McDonald's. 😣 Just doesn't look "Sporting" and probably shouldn't be called "Hunting" but instead extermination of invasive animals. Puts a black mark on actual "Hunting" IMO.- csaduck

Where do you store your powder?
When I was younger and doing Civil War re-enacting I had a full scale cannon, and bought 500 pounds at a time from a dealer in Virginia every year ! No one but him and me knew. Every time we fired the gun we blew a pound. Glad I was still working and powder was only $5 a pound in bulk at the...- csaduck

Where do you store your powder?
Yet US Army steel ammo cans are used for "Smokeless" cartridges which are made with Nitroglycerine and when a can of this gets so hot it cooks of it explodes like a bomb throwing steel and brass around at rifle bullet speeds !- csaduck

44 Cal Loading Question
I shoot 38 grains in mine. .454 ball, wonder-wad and squash in on top of 38 grains of 4 F. Send the ball out at 900 plus FPS and kills deer at 72 yards. (Last one was this far away) My 1858 is stainless steel so handles this heavy load fine.
