Grips are kinda ugly on the first,but that's just my tastes:

I'm not changing any parts in this Walker. I just took it apart and studied it very carefully under my desk lamp that has a magnifying glass built into the top of it. There's not a damn thing wrong with that Walker. Plus I know it has never been subjected to any undue stress or anything that would cause or contribute to metal fatigue. Hell, the hottest load ever fired through it was a carefully measured 50 grains on two occasions. Even the nipples look real good and the Tru-Oil I have on the grip seem's to be holding good. Well, anyway...Okay...

The Handsprings are the weak part in most of the replica revolvers. I have replaced 2 in my Pietta 51. Once after about 600 shots and the other after 1000 shots, not exactly sure how many after. My Remington has not been replaced yet and appears good after 500 shots.

The handspring or mainspring on a Walker is a U configuration and there for gets alot less preassure than say a mainspring on a 1851 Navy.

For the Navy, I keep spare hands because they do break. I also have a single spare for the Remington because if it is like the colt it will break after a while. Good news is if it does break, I can point the pistol down and it will still rotate the cylinder. I have no experience with a walker so I don't know much about them. Maybe they last longer. How many shots have you put through it?
