    How to make black powder revolvers?

    Back before any Colt Walker replicas were available a local machinist in Waco Texas made one--I saw it and it was a good copy of the original. Some of the old time gun collectors enjoyed firing it.

    Colt Walther 1911A1 .22 LR Serial Number

    Serial number on the box is WD0626xx but I couldn't find the number on the gun. When I took the pictures to post here, I saw the number in the photo before I could see it on the gun!

    The single-action safety-notch and the "Cowboy Load" myth

    I tried dropping the hammer between chambers with my 1878 Colt Single Action 45 and it locked into place. Had to raise the hammer to get it going. Tried it again with my 1882 and 1910 45s and got the same result. However none of my second generations would lock between chambers--easily slips...

    New Cimarron Single Action

    Mine in 357 magnum with the holster I made for it. Surprisingly accurate for the short sighting radius. If I hit the ejector sharply it will drop empties.

    Buying first Colt SAA (clone) - Cimarron vs Taylor's & Co

    I prefer Cimarron US marked single actions. These are older guns with traditional action--they came with the authentic style front screw as well as the knobbed screw. I stripped the shiny finish grips and gave them an oil finish. Accurate shooters.

    Ruger Single Six Old Model

    As a teenager I learned how to shoot a pistol with my Uncle's Ruger Single Six, one of the earliest with the round gate. I had a cousin who had one of the flat gate models. In recent years in a fit of nostalgia I bought a couple of old Rugers, un-converted of course. Both guns shoot as well as I...

    Rogers and Spencer, finally

    My Rogers & Spencer was given me by MEC and it is a great shooter. The hammer profile was too thick so I did some reshaping. Shown here with the conversion cylinder installed.

    New Grips - Cimarron SAA

    Top two Cimarrons after stripping the red finish--top one had beautiful natural wood underneath the red and only needed tru-oil for finish. Middle gun needed some brown stain and boiled linseed oil. The bottom gun looked okay so I left it alone
