I know, I already own a Brasser and understand it's weaknesses.
I just love the look and sale price of this one!
My loads are normally 16-19 gr of Pyrodex with a little filler and a wad. Very accurate!!!
The brass frame acts like it's been greased and polished! Gets better the more it's shot!
The urpose of this revolver is belt carry in a modified holster
My FAVORITE BP revolver is the Remington 5 1/2" bbl revolver, loaded heavilly and for the worst possible conditions! The Confederate Colt would be for fun but could be predded into a serious mode if need be.
Shooters have to remember, we buy these revolvers to relax with, to handle a lot while loading and to simply caress a revolver for the fun of it!
Piettia now makes a Birdshead gripped, steel framed, 3 1/2" barrel revolver which will be my next buy. A real self defense weapon!
I still prefer my Chief and Model 10 Smiths though!
BP is fun and can keep you safe as well as ever!!!
Sure hope the Wife gets home with the credit card soon!

Yep, a lot of fun for the money.

This gun and it's twin brother were new three years ago. I antiqued both of them just for grins. They get comments at Cowboy Action matches.

That last 1851/.44 with bird's head grips.....

Where did you find that grip frame and how did you fit it? What make of gun was that anyway.

Also I like the way you cut off the loading lever right at the knuckle. I wonder if you might have drilled a hole in the front face of that knuckle and threaded it to allow you to screw on a usable length of rod for on gun loading.

Neat stuff you got there.

Uberti Thunderer gripframe on a Pietta gun.
I enlarged the screw holes a bit till it fit.
I pop out the wedge when I reload & use a Powder Inc cylinder loader
Fun guns
