From what Ive read,the first year was the 1851 navysbrass frame like mine,then came the iron framed 1860,you are speaking of.I believe the only ones that had the rear sights on the hammer,were all conversion BP revolvers made to fire catridge.It would have a longer sight radius and would likely...
I agree 44 special would suite me fine as well,it just carry the history ye ole 45 colt does,even though the 71/72 open top was never chambered for the 45 colt LOL
1871-1872
Open Top Colt repo in 45Colt
Doesnt bother me they never made it in this caliber one bit.Wish it was 51/2"vs the 71/2"
Pictures dont do it juctice,it is a beautiful handgun that feels good in the hands.
Thanks for your wisdom...Now Im skeptical as hell,and should be.I too would like to hear some real world opinions from its use on the bench and field.Im too biased because I wanna like it.Its sevelte,light,good looking,and has 3 grades of wood stocks......
My apologies kind sir,they were sure saleing the hell outa of it this morning,claiming 1/2"groups.I see your point.....Something is certainly amiss here for a 100% descrepancy on accurracy.Ots a good looking rifle ,which got my attention.I was mislead to further the false advertisement.....you...
They sure were saleing the 1/2"gurantee,on what I watched today on the NRA channel....can you point me in the direction where you saw what they provided for you.I cant say advertising or stating a 1" @ 50 yards would ever be a saleing point.Ive also have never heard that a skilled shooter be...
Watched in some detail about it on NRA TV this morning.Supposedly Springfield offers a 1/2" gurantee at 50 yards,but as they reported,was quite conservative.Also their target model produced well under 1/2" 10 shot groups,again suppossedly.
I do have to admit,that with not many new 22's offerd in...
Well worn well used IDF rifle,these setups minus the Eotech,have always been my favorite well worn firearm implements to oogle over.There is just someting about a well used,but well cared for battle implement to ponder...(Where its been,What its done,whom its defended/killed etc.)I love this...
I wish I had a picture of this (one time beautiful German Drilling) that I saw this very,very elderly gentleman hunting with.Hopefully my writing skills are good enough to paint you a picture.How I ran across this elderly "angel" is a story in and of its self.It was Jan 1,1997 the last day of...
It is certainly a keeper,I had heard some negatives,that some of the first models had not shot well due to numerous tight spots thru-out the barrell,Im stoked that is not the case with mine as I so wanted to like this sevelte little rifle,that feels so right in the hands.....Thank you good...
Have had this girl for awhile,mounted a 4 X rimfire Leupold on her in low rings.Bore sighted the sevelte little thing,with yesterday being the first time any lead was sent downrange.
It shot suprisingly well with CCI's Standard Velocity.These are the results of my first 3 groups from the...
You are spot on,back in the 60's thru early 80's deef in the north Ga. mtns,were scarce.We got it good now.I remember getting excited just to find some fresh sign,and tracks back then when scouting
Still hunting in a thicket with a trusted Marlin and peep,stoked with core-loks in your best wool and plaid on a drizzly afternoon.........Well it just dont get anymore 60's than that.Some hunters are missing out on just how much FUN!!!!!!,it really is.
Skill not gear,kills more deer...
