Let's see some single actions!

[Willy G.]

Oh now you've done it. I love single action revolvers now I'm getting the itch to get another.

Madcratebuilder, what's that last revolver you posted? The one with all the ... widgets... hanging off of it.

That is a LeMat revolver, Cavalry model. Favored by Confederate officers during the war of Northern aggression. It is a 9 round 44 cal cap and ball with a 18ga (approx)under barrel. I'm working up shot and round ball loads for the 18ga, rough job but I'll preserver. Made by Pietta, I rate it a B+ in fit and finish, it does have it's quirks.



The open top, closed top debate. I like them both. Many considered this the most powerfull revolver till the 357 came along. The Colt Walker can load 55gr of holy black and a 44 cal conical bullet.


One of my nicest Remingtons is this NMA in nickle, made in 79 and marketed by Navy Arms. I believe it was made by Sile Co. but not sure about that. It is a very accurate revolver.


This revolver is this Rogers&Spencer 1865 model. Another revolver used by Confederate soldiers. This 1979 one was made by Armi San Paolo. Nice shooter, but I find the hammer spur sets high and is hard to cock single handed. Unusual taper at the bottom of the grip.


My favorite, best feeling, I'm a gunslinger, revolver is this 51 Colt Navy. A 36 cal, it has such a natural aim to it I don't get with any others. I have read that this was bill hickcocks favorite pistol. This one was made in 64 by Uberti and is an A+ revolver in fit and finish.

don't have the personal knowledge to display my own photos, so I thumbnailed a few of the ones that I own from the manufacturer's website...

http://www.uberti.com/firearms/single_action_cattleman.php

first one is an Uberti Cattleman Hombre w/ brass trigger guard & handle frame; .45 Long Colt; bought NIB for $388 (read below & you'll understand the EEK emoticon)

the second one is an Uberti Cattleman Chisholm w/ anondized aluminum trigger guard & handle frame; .45 Long Colt; bought used for $250; if I was a bit quicker, I could have had a used Hombre from the same shop for $250...one of my 'friends' called & asked if the used Hombre he saw was mine & if I had sold it; I went & snagged the Chisholm before it disappeared

fodder shot thru them includes a variety of major manufacturers' cowboy loads, Remington 225 gr LSWC for a woods walking load, and Blazer (aluminum cased) 200 gr jhp (Speer Gold Dots) for HD and camp defense

Stormspotter, that's a neat rig.
Isn't that a pretty heavy gun to stuff in your waistband? I'd love to carry mine, but it seems kinda bulky.

That's a nice Colt you have leadhead, very nice. Both barrels and cylinders. Let me know if you ever want to sell it.

Wow, many thanks everybody; a lot of excellent pistols (and collections) you all have posted.

Problem now is that I'm sharing Willy G.'s sentiment:

Oh now you've done it. I love single action revolvers now I'm getting the itch to get another.

I picked up another this weekend (and a stainless new [small] Vaquero has caught my eye as well).
Here's the new, well a couple of boxes old, USFA Rodeo in .45 LC:



BTW - The Bushmaster, I'd really like to see the old Colt.
