Results from a new 1862 pocket police

After Coyote Joe put on a front site for me and "timed" it( it was way out of time)
I sat down to get it "shot in"
Not to bad, what I expected from such a little gun.
The grip is a bit small and I had to switch out the nipples to Amco # 11s but I will be carrying this little bugger for Grins most of the time.

It's weird tho two chambers print to the right every time.

Nice so far. Is that 5 1/2" barrel? As for the chambers did you ID the culprits Yet? When you do see how they are differant from the others. They might seat harder or easier, or if you see any leading they may be a little off center. Maybe a little polish might help them. Anyways the reason for all the to do is I'm very interested in one of these little pocket models much for the same reason, S&Gs. Nothing puts a greasy porkchop eatin' grin like a well shooting smoke pole. I love to outshoot the 2000$ race guns at the local range.

Good shootin' those are neat little guns. I use to carry one of those or a '51 navy in a shoulder holster when trapping 20 years ago,were the originals .31 cal 5 shots or was that the 1848 pocket pistol?

Bought one of these, an Uberti, for $75 at a gun show out in Kansas back in the early '80's. The timing/action was terrible...probably why the guy was trying to get rid of it! I spent many hours filing, honing, and polishing. Used violin varnish on the grips, and hund it in a closet for two weeks to allow proper drying. Although a bit smallish for my hand, turned into one of my best shooter. The main spring would feel 'soft' for most, I think, but it's one of my best shooters. One day, I'd like to have a neat Huckleberry shoulder rig for it. The violin varnish is Purty!
