Rogers and Spencer accuracy
« on: July 19, 2020, 08:54:16 AM »
Does anyone (besides me!) recall that the R&S revolvers were touted as being very accurate and were the hot item for competition? This would have been maybe in the 80s. I had never even seen one at that time.

Hi Emery, IMO any of the replica C&B revolvers can have competition winning accuracy. All my replicas can shoot much better than me. See this video of the champion Walker:



Who would have thought that the Walker could do that!

I think the ones used in competition were Pedersoli's with Lothar barrels.

Aaahh, that would make sense. I remember that they were expensive.
