Pietta cap & ball model of Colt 1873

[BowerR64]

it has to be loaded with the cylinder off the gun with a loading tool

Thats a deal breaker, unless it comes with the loading tool i wouldnt want one.

So the revolver a few posts up is black powder?

Yes, if you look closely at the pics, you'll see the cutouts for the nipples. The one you showed is a standard cartridge gun.

As far as I know, you have to remove the cylinder and use a loading tool.

Well i was confused because of the add i seen. I see yours now it appears to be different then the one in my add.

How easy is it to put the caps on? the nipples look way down in there.

Doesn't look very easy to cap to me.
