New Toys: Powder Inc Cylinder Loader

[SC_Slowhand]

The Powder Inc. BP Cylinder Loader got delivered today. It seems very well made and simple enough. It comes with two cylinder pins. The small one is for the Ruger and the Remington revolvers. The large pin for the Colt Revolvers. There are two loading jags. 1-40-45 cal and 1-32.36 cal.

So I set it up for .36 cal and snatched my latest acquistion a Pietta Texas Paterson, popped out the cylinder and gave it a whirl.



The Pietta Texas Paterson came via FedEx yesterday. I checked her out real close and she is in excellent condition. I bought her from Articap for a reasonable price. The cylinder loader is going to come in handing when loading the Paterson, since legend says that the Pietta external loading lever is sort of made from pot metal.

I'm off Sunday and Monday and planning on hitting the range to finally get to fire a few of these things.

Loader

Thanks. I figured with the mix of .36s, .44s and .45s I have one loader would save a lot of excess hauling. Besides a heavy price tag this beast should last for awhile.

I got lucky on the Paterson, those things are hard to find and the prices are through the roof. Articap never fired her and the kid that had her before him put very few rounds through her. She's in great shape but will probably spend more time as a wall hanger or mantle piece than on the range.
