Howdy from Connecticut
« on: June 05, 2015, 11:42:20 PM »
Just stopping by to introduce myself.
I've been involved in shooting black powder guns for over twenty years. With that being said I'm in no way an expert but someone who loves to shoot and is always willing to learn more about the art.
I became involved with cap and ball revolvers a few years ago when I learned about my great great great grandfather who fought in the civil war with the 1st. New Hampshire Calvary.

This is one of my revolvers. A 1860 Colt Army made by Pietta.

Welcome from Wisconsin, good to meet you! Hey, I have a lantern just like yours! I don't know if any of us are "experts", but there is a wealth of knowledge and experience here.

Thanks guys, love black powder and love it even more shooting it. I have only one more revolver right now but don't think I can post it cause its not a Colt.
I plan to get a Walker for Christmas that is if Santa knows what's good for him, lol.

Welcome aboard, Patriot! Glad you found us. Coffee's hot and the campfire is roarin', pull up a log and hunker down.
You can talk about any C&B revolvers here; in fact, you'll find there is a place for them here:

If owning Remmies was a crime, we'd all be in deep dog-doo. I own six of 'em... (7&

That being said, we loves our Colts! :-*

Can't argue with you on that.

A hardy Buckeye welcome!  Pull up a chair and get comfortable.  Get some coffee.  I see you have already posted photos, that's good, some of our members don't do good with the written word.  Others are hard of hearing (Capt) so speak up.

Post early, and post often!
