[YaTuberculosis]

I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five?

[SickBritKid]

There is such thing as a double-action Peacemaker, right? The only ones I've seen were all Singles.

Love to hear the old iron speak.

[electrichand1234]

is this one chambered in 357 or 45 lc



[KaiserSousey]

@electrichand1234 This is an old .44-40 Winchester. But I've only shot what they call 'cowboy action' loads through it. Not as much kick as a full .44-40. From what historical data I can find the original .44-40 loads that were shot through it were even more powerful than the rounds they make now. And I wouldn't even attempt the light loads except that it's in such perfect mechanical condition. It was manufactured in 1904.

@KaiserSousey awesome!! these r american legends :)

Why were you shooting with 1 hand?

[KaiserSousey]

@9SidedOctagon There are numerous stances a person can use when shooting a pistol. This is called a Bulls eye stance or point stance, one of several that used to be taught by military instructors. for more info do a search for pistol shooting stances.

anyone knows if there's a bb gun replica of this weapon??? This gun is sweet, but I can't own the real version in my country (IF I ever find it). So is there like a bb gun or something that you can shoot, but not real bullets???

[Southern661]

guns now are called a "piece" sometimes in modern days, in old days it was Peace for Peacemaker.

[galgo09]

where can i buy one of these? i want buy a peacemaker

[westerndrummer5]

I beleive to the best of my knowing that Colt makes these models still. The only problem is that they are in the 1,400 dollar range.

[SDSnyper]

heh, back when these pistols were brand new the people living in that time probably would Shit Bricks if they saw the insane prices of guns now.. back then you could walk into a place and buy a gun for like 1-2 dollars...

[kevinarmstrong1]

Actually, a peacemaker in the 1880's cost about 2 months average wages. They are much more affordable, today.

[Bannerman242]

@kevinarmstrong1 how much does one normally cost today? and where could i possibly order one, I've always wanted one of these!

[kevinarmstrong1]

You can order them at about any gun store, or through Davidson's Gallery of Guns (google it). They run $1000 to $1400 depending on the finish.

If you want a modern (new) gun made EXACTLY like the original, in the same factory, check out US Firearms (google USFA). These guns are slightly less expensive. However, they are original, in every way. Every part is CNC'd to the 2nd generation spec. The only difference is USFA uses modern, stronger steel.

[kevinarmstrong1]

@Bannerman... see my post above.

[OmereLeCrabe]

why didn't you shoot the last one?

[KaiserSousey]

It's an old gun and doesn't have a transfer bar safety. So you keep one cylinder unloaded for safety. (The firing pin is directly on the hammer and if there is one in the chamber under it, a hard blow to the hammer will set it off)
