"As an American, I find this really strange, as it sounds like a "there is a national ban except where there isn't" kind of thing. I keep having to remind myself that England is one part of the greater United Kingdom." The loophole in the Law is that it only applies to the British Mainland...

Having a gun of my own over there may be problematic, but I could always go for a long weekend and use the club guns. :o :)

"Do you hunt with those? What's that like?" As far as I know we are not allowed to hunt with any muzzle loaders :) "Didn't make sense though to spend over $500 when I can just buy a .44 magnum." Now that is just depressing, our naff LBR revolvers are roughly (£700) $1000 over here...

"Welcome to THR. Wowza, no offense, but I'm glad I live in the States. What is the "wrist brace" for other than length/annoyance factor?" To make it less concealable, and to increase it’s overall length the british law states that a firearm must be: “104. The Government noted the...

"More interesting is how do you go about purchaseing the modern Taurus gun to use this sytem on ? " We are allowed what we call Long Barrelled Revolvers, but I personally think that they are quite comical. 12 barrel with a wrist brace, or with a 18in barrel...

"Welcome to THR. That is interesting and I guess you do what you have to. How much do the cylinders cost? It made me appreciate where I live." £404 which presently is $633.15 "I must be missing something. You are putting nitro cylinders on a handgun that was a cap and ball to start...

I like that! :):) Here’s a few of my engraved 1858

Here is my nitro converted 1851. You can see here where the shotgun primers go It’s a little fiddly, but once it is loaded it is no different ballistically from the cartridge conversions you lucky few can have. :) I grew up watching westerns so I am very chuffed to have...

“So Bob, can you own a regular BP revolver?” Yes I have the original bp cylinder for my Pedersoli 1858 and my ASM is Black powder only. :) “If you fellas aren't permited to own cartridge guns.Then how/where did you get the Taurus to convert ?” We are allowed what we call Long Barrelled...

Thank you for all of your videos mike. In the UK we have to apply for FAC slots to purchase these things and most of the time we are limited as to how many we are allowed so nearly all of the shooters I know have either a Ruger Old Army, a 1858 or a 1851. So your videos are so very...

Thank you for the warm welcome. :) There is an other option for those in the UK who want to practice Olympic pistol :) Zylab Patriot .32 nitro muzzle loading pistol Loading, you can see a similar dispenser in this video...

Hi all, I’m fairly new here so just thought I’d say hello and see what you all think of these gismos we use in the UK :) Due to our gun laws we are not allowed cartridge hand guns for target practice but we are allowed muzzle loaders. :) So a few gun smiths make for us what we call nitro...

My Pedersoli 1858 and a nitro cylinder made by Allan Westlake. The nitro cylinder loads using shotgun primers, Herco powder and semi wad cutters. It is the nearest thing to a modern revolver we are allowed in the uk. :) Some more info about it...

Hellgate Hi, I’ve not had a chance to shoot those examples yet but she does weigh about 1.30kg. According to the Henery Krank’s catalogue A Euro Arms weighs about 1.02kg A uberti weighs about 1.22kg And a Pietta weighs about 1.5kg I bought this one purely because I like the way it...
