They are a "blast" to shoot. I went the 1851 Navy Colt C&B in .44.. Cabela's was having a sale and "forced" me to take it. ;)

I really enjoy shooting it...

Plus they look old skool Tacticool..... ;D

Congratulations!!!

If memory serves, Clint used Remingtons in "Pale Rider", and reloaded them by swapping out his empty cylinders with pre-loaded spares.
