Hi all,
Longtime lurker here as well but finally registered. It was O.S.O.K's thread that finally made me post seeing we have some of the same pistols.
I grew up shooting black powder, my dad was a buckskinner and hunter and has made a few of his own rifles. Also used to go to Friendship as a kid (many many years ago, lol). I cut my teeth on black powder.
My interest these days is wholly in the Civil War era. I'm one of those guys that knows tons about everything CW and spend lots of time and energy reading and researching it, also collecting and shooting! I'm a certified buff and amateur historian. I have also visited quite a few battlefields.
So I just thought I would show off my toys! Everyone here likes pictures right?!
my Uberti 2nd Model Dragoon
big bang, nice kick, lots of smoke! i was shooting .457 balls and loading 45gr.
here is my Pietta 1860 Army, yes i do love the Colt's!
and finally the Pedersoli 1861 Springfield.
i shoot 60gr. loads with a .58 caliber minie ball.
