Yeah, it s really nice and fun. .44 It takes the same balls as I use for the Colts. In fact, the light elongated ball from the Colt 1860 mold (Signature Series). Fires from the thing v e r y nicely!
It s 2 1/2in bore is rifled and it carries that elongated ball quite true. Its aim/hit point is something that has to be learned. As it is, I m able to hit a 15in target at 30 yds. Ok, it s meant as a close in defense weapon. Still, it s fun to play around with ranged firing and so on.
Btw, this model is the finished engraved deluxe version that comes with a case and Colt style pocket flask. I re-worked the case a little bit, otherwise, the pistol was ready to go.
