Black Powder Pistols > Open Tops
Both 72' Open Tops Finally in hand
ShotgunDave:
I've been selling, trading and saving, so I could buy a brace of 72' Open Tops in .45 Colt caliber. I was finally able to do so.
Here's my beauties.
I don't have them in hand yet, they're in transit to my FFL. So once the waiting period is over, I'll get some really good pictures of them and post a shooting report.
I'm VERY excited to have these!
Captainkirk:
Those are so purdy, they bring a tear to m'eye.
Fantastic score, thanks for sharing!
Fingers McGee:
Congrats Dave. they sure look nice.
ShotgunDave:
Thanks Fellas. Been wanting these for a very long time.
They're going to be my main match pistols for SASS competition. I'm not a fan of Rugers, they just don't feel right in my hands. Not to mention, they don't replicate the original guns. At least not to me. I like SAA's, but my true interest is in the BP era and early cartridge guns. Since I'm pretty proficient with my cap & ball Colts, the 72's should do nicely for me.
Fingers McGee:
I've gone down the same route - only for different reasons. Picked up a pair of Richards-Mason .38s with 5 1/2 inch barrels to replace the 2nd Gen '61 Navies I've been shooting in SASS matches for the last 10 years or so. Having been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease last August, I now know why shooting cap guns was getting to be such a chore. Loading 38s is a lot easier.
