John S " R.I.P" Ford watched somebody kill a horse at distance with the walker revolver- maybe he was shooting at the specific horse and maybe not. This is what is supposed to have made him remark that the revolver hit as hard as the .54 Mississippi Rifle. The Missippi rifle was being produced at Eli Whitney's factory and would later be modified to shoot miniw-type bullets of the same caliber. It got the name Mississippi because the guys from Mississippi lead by Jefferson Davis distinguished themselves with it.
This Miss. replica sent a 230 grain ball- in use in the Mexican War period 1423 fps over 70 grains of goex ffg. A great deal more energetic than the Walker or the dragoon pictured with it.
