shot a Walker for the first time in my life today- full chambers of Pioneer BP substitute-awesome gun. What amazed me was, it kicked less than the Colt 1860 or Rem 1858 w/full chambers of powder- due to the increased weight of the Walker. Actually very enjoyable and easy to shoot- and it didn't toss the loading ram downward either. Shot offhand shaky while kneeling on the ground from 25 yards, at an old rotted 1953 Plymouth hood that was laying in the woods, looked like about a 12" pattern just shooting quickly at the middle of the hood.
the Walker with its larger arbor and wedge/frame, is definitely stronger than the later medium frame Colts I've fired.
