Those are sweet!
Really interesting Beals, as well!

Thinking of taking a polishing wheel to it to wear the blue off the edges, muzzle, etc. to give it a "holster wear" look. Anybody done something like this rather than the vinegar strip?

Yeah, I wondered about that, too. I haven't tried speed reloading my 1858s; the hand projects just enough to require some jiggling, and I don't have that down very well yet. I do find that holding the frame in my left hand (I'm a righty) and inserting the cylinder with my right, but from left to right relative to the frame, works best for me ... at least so far.kBob said:I wonder if the guy's reloads might have been faster if after dropping the empty cylinder he had held the gun in his left (non-shooting) hand and done all the getting the cylinder out and inplace with the his right (shooting) hand.
