Big +1 to that. They do make good stuff.. But it's a dirty form of shooting, but really a lot of fun.  Would love to have one of those cap & ball Navy Revolvers.

The Colt Navy (36 cal ) was considered the nicest handling pistol of it's day.

The 1851 (41) is my favorite in 36 caliber. But than you guys get me all riled up for a 1860 (44) Colt Army version.

Still would rather get the Navy Colt. ;)

I stopped by there sometime in the mid 90s and bought a 1862 Pocket Police in .36 cal.  Gun was made in Italy (sorry, can't check the safe right now).  Shoots fine, but did break the mainspring and have to order a new one (my fault, doing some home polishing).  However, wish I'd bought another 51' Navy as I'd like to have a brace of them. ;D  The 62' was a good concealment gun back in its time and the 51' an excellent belt gun.

It's a lot more fun (and easier loading) with Pyrodex pellets.

I've heard nothing but good things about Dixie. My only black powder firearm is a LeMat from Navy Arms. I'll be shooting it again as my gun club has a 'black powder only' range, prevailing wind usually keeps it downwind of the rest of the ranges.

Guess the fart smell bugs some people...
