Usually, these piettas come with the wedge fit too tight, and it won't go in all the way. The Remingtons and clones have the grip too close to the trigger guard, hurts my fingers. Black Powder is more expensive - but lots of fun. I also bought 1k of Remington #10 caps from Cabela's earlier on.Ĭompare all the above to buying a cheap $160 9mm Hi Point and a $10 box of 9mm ammo. 454 ball and 1000 lubed wads for $189 shipped. Not having quality time at home - in the short term, I found a member on the firing line who casts ball and bullets. Nipple wrench - $20 w/ spare nipples - might find for cheaper elsewhere.īore butter - $10 good lube for the arbor (Colt) or cylinder pin (Remington).Ĭould harvest fired projectiles (range scrap) from the local shooting range and cast my own ball.
Ted Cash inline capper - $20 (not needed but sure is handy). I quickly found that I wanted the following: You can put caps on by hand, load ball over powder, & get a tub of Crisco and lube over the balls (messy). Sum = about $75 to fire your 1st shot (not including hazmat fees if ordering powder and percussion caps online) Traditions Powder Measure - $9 (Midway USA or Walmart) Traditions Powder flask - $20 (Midway USA or Walmart) Pyrodex loose powder = $19.99 - 1LB (I found a gun shop that carries real black powder for $20 per 1LB). The down side of shooting BP revolvers is the component price. It's a good looking gun, gritty action and all! I'd like to get one and cut the recoil shield for my Kirst Conversion Cylinder. While it's true we are all used to closed frame revolvers, looking at the above group - I can't really say one is significantly better than the other.Īll that being said - I'm hoping Cabela's puts their Sheriff model Pietta 1858 (short barrel) back on sale. Lots of folks say the sights are better on the 1858.
Finding that the bolt head pops early and caused a nasty drag line on the cylinder. The Pietta Colt's action is apples and oranges smoother than the Pietta Remington. It takes 2 hands to # the action (one to hold the gun, off hand thumb to work the hammer). The Pietta Remington action is stiff and gritty. With the Pietta Colt, only one hand is needed to # the hammer. I find the action of the Pietta Colt's is significantly smoother than the Pietta Remington 1858. Seems unsafe to me - One slip, trip, or fall, or bang something (buttstock of a rifle) on the capped cylinder = ouch! Now I think I could find a work around - make a metal cap that covers the top of the cylinder and protects the percussion caps.Ĭomparing the 1860 to the 1858. Problem there is you are now walking around with a capped cylinder outside of the gun. Note spare BP cylinders are pretty cheap - $40 to $60. They still are available for around $325 to $375. At the time you could buy either 45 Colt or 357mag. I bought Uberti 1873 Hombre in 357mag new off Gunbroker a couple years ago for $250 + shipping and FFL transfer ($285 OTD). Kirst offers their back plate and 2 cylinders for. Spare Kirst cylinders (minus the required back plate) are $140 each: Kirst Conversion cylinders go - $295 to $325 for the complete assembly I don't know if you can order spare cylinders (minus the back plate).ġ858 Remington - Conversion Cylinders - Hand Guns
It's impractical for 1 major reason - Price of the conversion cylinders.
