Well howdy yall.
I've been doin' me some readin' about single-shot military pistols of the 19th century, mostly about flintlock and percussion guns. But a chapter of the book I'm reading pertains to cartridge firing single shot U.S. military pistols, it seems that after the Civil War the U.S. issued a few different variants of pistol to the Army and Navy, based on the Remington Rolling Block design.
Now ain't that neat? They came in .50 rimfire, which they obviously don't make now. They look like a whoop n' a holler, no doubt. From my reading, it seems Uberti made some replicas of this back in the day, chambered in modern rounds such as the .357 magnum.
What I think we need to do is put a bug in Uberti's ear to have them make these again in .357 magnum, .45 Colt, etc. and I think they'd be a real neat handy target and hunting gun. http://www.uberti.com/contact-us
What'yall think?
Happy Easter!!!
