    Well yeah. Who doesn't love a Vaquero? I purchased an American made Ruger semi-repro of a Colt to bang away with .45 LC instead of converting an Italian Walker reproduction to do so. The Walkers are there to shoot as percussion revolvers. If I need or want a gun for a specific purpose, I...

    I wonder when Estes is going to sell BP to the public??

    Tresos work for 777 From what I was told , those weird "bangBANG" fires are the charge going off in two separate phases and is not good at all I'd say over compression I have also used 777 in a Uberti Pocket Navy with CCI #10 caps and had some delayed ignition but I could clearly hear the...

    I wonder when Estes is going to sell BP to the public??

    The nipples were probably bad? Or the 777 was compressed TOO much. I compress it but my 30 grain charge and a wad doesn't need to be forced. 777 doesn't seem to like high compression when loaded. This is why 777 is popular for cartridges, it needs just a firm seating , not a crushing...

    No I had a $350 Italian Walker that works awesomely as a percussion revolver and added a $550 .45 LC Vaquero to shoot all the .45 LC I could ever need #winning I sold the cylinder to someone who needed it way more than me There's a tool for each job but a Crescent wrench can still bang in a...

    I wonder when Estes is going to sell BP to the public??

    I may have to give in and get myself an Old Army, given that I pretty much got rid of everything non-Ruger in my handgun collection I just got a Bearcat which is basically the Rugerized version of the old Colt or Remington pocket Rimfires so I might as well get the Rugerized 1858 Remington...

    I wonder when Estes is going to sell BP to the public??

    Also, recreational shooters are most likely a small % of their business and very avid shooters that use up 100s of pounds a year are a very very small % The CEO seems very accessible and friendly but I'm sure he knows that the average civilian Goex buyer buys a few cans here and there and...

    I've tried one, I had a Walker years ago I dropped a .45 LC cylinder into and fired Cowboy ammo in it. It was cool for about 50 rounds then I just got a .45 Vaquero for then probably $550 and was like, why did I drop 200 bucks on a cylinder for my $350 Walker to shoot Mouse fart .45?

    Honestly can I just address the Elephant in the room and I'm not trying to single any one person out ... But I have wondered why a person , any person, not any 1 person in particular...... would "mod" an Italian reproduction percussion revolver to shoot .45 LC "Ruger Only " loads when Ruger...

    At least people stopped jumping new people for asking questions with all the "The Search Feature is your friend!!!!" Responses These forums are Curmudgeon social media, it is what it is. Guys aren't going to stop bickering or taking threads in 5 different directions. When it gets personal or...

    I wonder when Estes is going to sell BP to the public??

    I honestly am loving 777 more and more . It's consistent and accurate . I've been shooting pounds of this stuff a month ,I started buying it for rifles but it's become more of my favorite for revolvers recently I have a healthy stock of Real Black but 777 really shines in my "medium frame"...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    Long Story short= a Felon can appeal for an Expungement of their crime in those cases as, a re-examination of the case shows that they warrant an Expungement. And if they haven't re-offended The same applies to people who received a Dishonorable Discharge. You can apply for an upgrade . Some...

    Would you rather this or a dead forum like the Ruger Forum with the last post being from 2 weeks ago and no one really discusses anything. If it's like "Which Sights are best?' *1 week later * Williams fire sights *6 months later* Meprolight *thread dies and gets the "this is an older thread...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    Every Felon on YouTube was "railroaded " or "I defended myself and was wrongly sentenced to 5 years " so here, let me give the anti-gun movement more ammo by bragging about how I got this Pietta Navy from BudK with no background check and popped a .45 ACP cylinder to shoot the "same ammo as a...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    Ok good, it's up to the individual Felon to know the laws. I don't know all 50 states Laws, nor am I a Felon so I only worry about what a non-Felon (myself) can carry If it's 100% legal, good for them. If it's not, I hope they get a good cellie. My moral compass notwithstanding, like I...

    Negligent Discharge The term "Accidental Discharge" is rarely if ever used because it implies that the gun fired through an "Accident" and is rarely the case

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    If you're one of the "I made some mistakes" people then many good knives are available from makers like Benchmade or Spyderco. You can protect your family, just not with a gun. If that doesn't suit you, no one is making you stay in this country. Or just break the Law, again, by carrying a...

    Trigger weight on Black Powder Revolvers?

    All romanticism and feel good history aside, percussion revolvers were marginal at best as actual weapons back in the original era. Let's just call a Spade a Spade here. If you gotta use em, then you do what you have to do but if I jumped in my time machine and handed Capt Walker a pair of...
