Cool video as always. Makes me want to go out and shoot my 1858 Remington!

Mike,

I loved it. You don't see a lot of Patersons being shot, or even around!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the good words.

I noticed your trigger finger looked a bit too far forward when you shot. Did you get any gas blowing across the tip of your finger from the cylinder when the round went off ?

Cool video

I have a Uberti Patterson. I notice the grip on the Pietta is different; the bottom edge of the Uberti version is rounded while the Pietta has a "edge."

And boy, is my Uberti ever put together TIGHT. !!!

Since the Patterson is so different from the later Colts and Remingtons it's nice to see a video of one to get an appreciation for the differences. As always you gave us a nice blend of the technical and historical factors to round out the story.

I recently sold my Paterson. I had it for five or so years. Great shooter, accurate due to the long barrel. Pain in the neck to reassemble, though. I gotta say that I had great luck with the loading tool - it was a simple and quick loading procedure.

excellent job Mike

Double Duce...That's just where the trigger is on Patersons...Didn't feel any gas.
