    SOLD Pietta .44 Cal. 3-Inch Snub Nose Barrel

    I picked up this Pietta .44 cal. 3-inch snub nose barrel at an estate sale a few years ago that was included with a bunch of other BP accessories and stuff. Looks new and I don’t believe that it has ever had a ball shot through it. Looking at the same Pietta barrel currently being sold on ebay...

    19th century handgun shooting stances

    Mike Beliveau from his Duelist's Den website has a very interesting new video posted that discusses a short history of shooting stances of 19th century handgun shooter. He uses an unmentionable handgun as demonstration but references that the same shooting stances applied to BP revolvers. Next...

    .31 No more cap jams

    I've filed and polished the sharpe edges of the hammer face for all my BP revolvers regardless of caliber. Never had a cap jam.

    Different types of caps

    Interesting that you mention CCI #11 caps as I have had misfires from a couple tins I bought a month or so ago at a gun shop. I would say about 1 in five failed in my CVA Kentucky .50 cal. which slams pretty hard on the nipple. Some caps would go off if I struck it twice. It's possible a poor...

    Which Revolver?

    I second that suggestion. A Uberti Remington NMA steel frame is my first choice for a first time BP revolver. The two high points are the stronger frame and ease of cylinder removal.

    Experiments with paper cartridges

    If you'll notice in the video, Mike pours the powder down the barrel first followed by the ball and the paper acting as a wad just like civil war rifles. I have shot several paper cartridges per Mike's design and have no misfires in my CVA Kentucky .50 cal. percussion pistol. Additionally, I was...

    Experiments with paper cartridges

    I gave up the idea of making a paper cartridge similar to a revolver for a single shot pistol and I came across an excellent way to make a paper cartridge like what was used for civil war rifles. I was able to find an answer to shooting paper cartridges in a single shot pistol from Mike...

    The Transportable Convertible Pistol Loading Stand

    A most excellent idea for a multi-loading stand! :p You might consider making more stands with optional revolver and pistol vertical pieces and selling them on ebay or etsy.

    Experiments with paper cartridges

    I have had great success making, loading and shooting paper cartridges in all my BP revolvers. I’m curious if any forum member has ever experimented making a similar type paper cartridge for a single shot flint or percussion pistol? Not to be confused with the civil war type paper cartridges...

    Loading press

    I've used the smaller press from Powder Inc. for years. Best press available. Only downside is that the brass plungers supplied are for ball and not conical pointed bullets. I solved that problem by purchasing a .44 cal. Uberti Remington NMA plunger from Taylor's, cut off the two ears, tapped...

    Caps ... where ?

    I purchased RWS 1075 #11 caps from muzzle-loaders.com in Oregon and recently got delivery in a week at $38.00 for a 250 quantity tin. RWS is an excellent cap that fits either Pietta, Uberti and SliXshot nipples. Also great for my single shot pistols and rifles. They also have Hodgdon Triple 7...
