Still coming down here, gonna be off and on till tomorrow morning
Man I hope it lasts. My girls seem to be having fun in it
Right on we haven't got Jack shit here lol. Been 23° most the time.
Agreed, I've had my fun, but you can have it back now
Oh you want a colt .45? I'll give you .45
Fuck ya dude sweeet!
All I have is a 450 hand Cannon ??
Damn man, that is badass
Nice! You gotta put it on the snowman next time! My next gun will probably be a .38 special revolver. I'll probably have to work my way up to a .45 once I get comfortable shooting.
I tried to send it in dm but it just like disappeared lol not many around here scared to just post it as I'm the only one with one ? within 300 miles
Wow, is that a Smith and Wesson or a colt? I can't tellView attachment 139434
Hehe, I got one too
But well, I am European, so this is just my model one for my cosplay, lol
I swear by the .45 I have a sig p220 in .45acp the one I showed you is an 1858 Remington new army cartridge conversion in .45 lc then I have a Henry big boy in .45 lc and finally a marlin .45-70 and might I say that '70 is badass 405 grn jacketed soft points. it would honestly be a waste of ammunition and meat to use it on a deer. I would only use it on anything that weighs as much or more than a hog
That's 1851 Colt Navy
That's neat, I wonder how were they irl. I guess they were pretty reliable back then.
My great great great great grand daddy used
it fighting for the yankees
It has a pretty stout hammer and it would've taken awhile to reload but overall it feels great in the hand
I’m too far south. But there may be more snooow! I hope! Love the texas style snowman tho. Hehe
They were not difficult to load or shoot. That looks like an 1860 Army, which is .44 caliber. The Rebated Cylinder is a giveaway. If you're using the standard paper cartridges, you can reload it in about 40 seconds with a little practice. I wouldnt shoot that if its an original. Its a seriously valuable collectors item. But italian made shooters are very good quality and can be had in the 250 dollar range new, in more normal times. Pawn shops might have used ones for a bit less. Theyre fun to shoot
Yeah, you're right but the only reason I say it's the other model, is because the serial numbers do not match up to that model. I have a colt patent book and the serials match up with the '61 navy. I'm dyslexic and misread what @MishaCZ said. My grandfather tried to get it re blued but it didn't work, it fires cap and ball, no cartridges. The '58 Remington is an Italian model, and let me tell you, that sumbitch is accurate
Damn, sorry man. Hope you get some next time!Snow didn’t make it in my neck of Texas.
Definitely a 1860 Colt Army .44, the '61 Navy model is a .36 with a shorter cylinder that is the same diameter front to back.
