Never heard of Armsport Miami its a real nice revolver got it for a $175.oo got a Hickok hoster belt and starter kit coming from Cabela's tomorrow. Can't wait to go out and fire it this weekend.
 
STAINLESS STEEL! :what:
Ohhhh, myyyyy gawwwwwwwwwd. That's NOT p.c., have you completely lost your mind? :youcrazy: :youcrazy:
What model is it? 1858 Remington? Colt 61? What?
I have a S.S. '58 by Pietta from Cabela's, with adjustable sights no less. :: I guess the p.c. police will get us both.
I fired 3 or 4 cylinders of black 3fg and deliberately left it uncleaned for weeks. I check it every day of course, but it never did rust.
It's one of the most accurate revolvers I've ever shot. Once and only once I put all six into one ragged hole at 25 yards with 30 grains of Elephant 3fg, Crisco over the Hornady swagged .451 ball. I tried Buffalo Ballettes in it but accuracy was not as good as roundball, not bad, but not as good.
I've squeezed as much as 35 grains of Pyrodex (oh, oh, the p.c. police are watching) "P" in it and it still shot into about 2.5" at 25 yards.
Really a ton of fun gun. I've taken one fox squirrel and a racoon with it.
I liked it so much I bought 'nuther'n in blue steel with adjustable sights.
I like the adjustables cause I wanna hit what I shoot at.
Let us know how she shoots.
 
It is a 1858 Remington. I like Remingtons over Colts. This one is little lighter than mot Remintons. I will be firing it tomorrow so I will let you know how it was
