Pocket Pistol

[cynthialee]

I just received a Pocket Pistol from Taylors. .31 Wells Fargo model. Much better than the 1849 I got from Midway and sent back. Spent a bit more, but it seems to be a good choice.

Arbor is a bit short, but not enough to make shooting impossible. No improper gaps at the barrel/cylinder.

Put 10 bullets through it to check out its cycle and what not.
First 5 were with 10 grains and that charge is way to anemic. Wouldn't even punch a hole in the sheet metal target I was using.
Second 5 were with 15 grains and that is the one! Put 5 nice good holes in the metal.

Was a little worried loading would be difficult doing the arbor loading method, but that was unfounded. Those little .32 rounds are easy enough to seat with out a lever.

Caps....yeah it is a bit more a PITA in the cap jamming department than my .36 and .44 Colt Clones.

Probably send it out to Goon eventually.

I like it over all. Doesn't eat a lot of powder and it the recoil is so minor. I could shoot this little thing all day.

I got a second pocket pistol coming in today. This one is the Remington. Will compare the two and see which I prefer.

I'm a little envious, I don't need a pocket pistol, but I want one.(badly).

The Remington Police Pocket revolver is almost exactly the same size & grip config/size as a Ruger bearcat

well I don't need one either. I got serious pistols if I need to get serious. But this little plinker is fun stuff.

Dad gummit! Now you made me watch a Mike Belliveau video and now I need to get one (or maybe one with a rammer)

Thanks a lot!

this little colt doesn't really need a rammer
setting them the initial part was a little tight but doable with my thumb and using the arbor to finish the seat worked great
