I did not know the Man but had heard of his Name mostly through the Forum here. I'm not a Rifle guy either but I can commiserate when Old Knowledge passes from the World. Hopefully, there is an Apprentice there to carry on. Deep Peace of the Earth to his Family.
Good Morning!
I'm always happy to see a new LeMat thread! No kidding! If you want strong hands, practice cocking and de-cocking that revolver one handed every day. I've had the Cavalry model for many years now. It is still my favorite for fun and if you have the right...
LeMats are a hoot to shoot. I love mine and it gets regular duty done out here in the middle of nowhere by home and hearth. 60,000 for an original? Best left to Collectors.
regards!
Good evening,
A Favorite is hard to pick as many here have said. I would have to think about which one gets shot the most so it is between the Walker and the LeMat. The LeMat edges it out I believe, so this one:

Good afternoon,
Expat is off across the River among friends. Someplace where the powder is always dry and caps are plentiful, the beer is cold and the BBQ spicy. Like many I wish I had had the chance to fire off a few cylinders with the Fellow but Time is like that...
Good evening,
I'm glad that someone put up Mike's video on how to properly load and make use of the LeMat. I've had one for years and more fun with a Cap n' Ball Saddle Revolver is hard to imagine. 50 grains of FF and some proper wadding and buckshot will make a...
Good Morning!
New out of the box, the DA trigger pull is definitely stouter than a modern Colt or S&W. The SA trigger pull is smooth as glass and breaks clean. There were several reasons that the Army had STARR develop and sell them a SA version of this revolver. That...
Good Morning,
I had not seen the LeMat thread was closed. There is not a lot to talk about as far as functionality of the grapeshot revolver goes once you learn the best loads for it and more importantly, how to load it safely. The spring is stiff due to the design not...
The Author was lucky. There's something wrong with the mind of anyone who would attack another person for gain, whether it be sexual, monetary or else. I say or else because back on the 80's at a place west of Boulder, CO called Left Hand Canyon, I was shooting SA's in 45 with the S.O. when we...
Good Morning!
I love shooting my Goonerized Walker. I'm not engaged in the Indian Wars everyday so I can shoot mine just for fun. It is absolutely the best BP Revolver for both applying high velocity lead and setting something ablaze at the same instant! ;o)
regards all!
Good Morning,
I use a couple of those Ted Cash 'Snail' cappers. Keep the 10s in one and the 11's in another. Works great for the Walker and the other Cap and Ball revolvers I own.
regards!
