Greetings from Colorado
« on: April 04, 2022, 11:05:53 AM »
Hi all, since the 1858 forum is now gone…. I guess I need to join here and talk about black powder revolvers! Been playing with muzzleloaders and percussion revolvers since about 1985, so not new to this. I have more colt copies than any other, so here I am to join in on the fun. :usa-flag-89:

Thanks for the greetings guys. Most are piettas except for the Ruger, the ‘61 Navy is a Uberti unfired from 1971 and the ‘60 Army is a Armi San Paolo from 1977 with ‘51 Navy grips and frame on it.

I like the well used look of the 60.

Thanks Hawg, that’s the one I’ve owned the longest, given to me by my grandfather while in high school. I found the ‘51 Navy grips and frame, Armi San Paolo to match the pistol on eBay, patina and all for a good price because they fit my hand better!
