Inspired by the Revolver Picture Thread of All Time thread over in the revolver forum, how about a picture thread dedicated to BP revolvers? Let's try not to make it a discussion thread; rather pics with brief (or no) comment. The more the merrier! (I love picture threads!)

I can kick things off with an Uberti 1847 Walker kit, originally built by someone else, but cleaned up and "finished" by your truly.

1847 Walker, 1848 2nd Model Dragoon

Both Ubertis. Picture was taken before I stripped the blue from the Walker's cylinder.

1858 Remingtons

The nice holster is a cross draw by Dan Brooks; the other is Cabela's.

I tried, but my photo taking skills are getting worse and worse, it seems. I have an Uberti Walker that I just bought, the seller bought it new and never fired it, and I still haven't fired it either. Got it for $375 w/box & etc., figured that was an OK price.

Big ol' hog it is, beautiful quality too IMO. I'm dying to try it out! What's the recommended charge for a Walker? There's nothing that came with it giving a charge number, and I've "heard" anywhere from 60gr. up to 72gr. with TWO balls in each chamber. I ain't putting two balls in, NFW, but I'd like to know the min. & max. charges, please. I have a jug of Pyrodex P, "the FFFG equivalent", it says.

I just hope this one shoots better than my Pietta 1851 Navy.....
 
Here's mine. Purchased about 40 years ago when the LGS went out of business, and I had the local saddle-maker make a belt and holster for it. The little piece of rawhide at the top of the holster, would hook over the hammer. During deer season it was loaded with #6 shot for rattlers. Ha, puts a smile on my face when I think about it.
