Colt 1860 Army -- Firing pictures

[OldNo7]

My nephew lost his Dad (my BIL) back in May and as he's taken an interest in shooting, I've taken him out several times since then. First with 22s and much time spent on safety and care/maintenance, then with 9mms and Magnums. The other day, he wanted to try his hand at blackpowder with a "Civil War handgun", so my repro Colt 1860 Army (by Uberti) worked well for that.

I figured the gang here would enjoy these firing pictures, as he was very eager to show these to all his friends. The use of "Live photo" on an iPhone made these possible, as I could edit the string of images and just select the one I wanted to keep.

He did all the shooting and I got stuck with the cleaning that evening -- but it was all for a great cause. I plan to get him an NRA Membership for his upcoming birthday.

Tight groups.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like he's having a great time. Love the look of that orange gout of flame! The third shot almost looks like a chain fire to me!
And thank you for taking the time to have such a positive influence on the next generation!
