is that a civil war belt that you cut to fit a holster? who makes the holster? clever. thanks a bunch

[TheIndianaKidd]

@glynamus the belt and holster came from cabelas... yeah I cut a slit in the belt and fed the holster flap through it, creating a drop loop. the easiest, and cheapest way to get a good holster! thanks for watchin.

I have shot these guns competitively for many years, your method of "seating the caps" is a great way to end up missing a finger. Pushing on that fulminated mercury is like lighting the fuse to a stick of dynamite. Not the brightest crayon in the box. But your overall methods are good

@MrKaido93 Exactly correct! thats why some Confederate Handguns are simply called "Church Bell guns".

could you believe that the Colt Manufacturing Company built 200,000 of these beautiful creations, and 127,000 of these went to just the Union Army during the Civil War!

Hazard Powder was one of the best some say just as good or better than today's Swiss. It mostly came in Paper cartridges that were issued to Soldiers. I belong to a unique group that researches and discuss this, The Yahoo Percussion Revolver, you are welcome to join and participate in discussion and share your tests.It seems that many things associated with the original Percussion revolvers were better tan the Replica stuff we have today, the Original Revolvers were better than Replicas, etc.
