New Vaquero .45 Colt. I must admit that I've never used blackpowder in this one, but I'll probably try it sometime.

I've got one coming. It's at my FFL waiting period. Aldo Uberti, Richards Mason conversion of a 1860 colt. I did the paperwork and the guy let me look at it. It's a jaw dropper. Will post the picks soon............

I ordered this pistol about a month ago and finally was able to pick it up this AM. I got it from Buffalo Arms in Idaho through Cimarron. I guess it's in their catalog. It's my favorite of all. BTW it's chambered for .45 Schofield. I was thinking about taking a 1860 Colt and getting a conversion cylinder for it. Then I spotted this, it has the conversion cylinder, the loading gate and ejector rod. As a bonus it comes in a barrel length (5 1/2) that I like and listing for $415, it is also historically significant. Enough bragging.

Here is my set of 1851 conversions made by ASM in 38 spl. I play with this when I feel like a gunfighter.

Well marcseatac,
It might be fun shooting with someone. I don't know of anyone near me that shoots blackpowder revolvers so I shoot alone, out behind the shed or out in the woods.
I was 62 before I ever had one in my hands. A gunsmith friend gave me a beat up Pietta 1858 just to get it out of his shop. I stopped at a sporting goods shop on the way home and got some supplies so I could shoot it. It has been down hill every since. That was a little over three years ago and I have sold most of my "modern" arms just to get the money to buy these replicas. I love them. I think one of anything gets lonely, can't have that. So there are two of most everything.
The nearest shop that has them is over fifty miles from me and I just found it this past summer. We don't wander that far from home very often.
Here is my "range" where I take care of the bad guys.

That's awesome, I too have only recently gotten the BP bug. I took it up last year in November for Deer hunting. I have thought about selling off my modern guns. I can easily take care of my firearm needs with these wonderful old replica firearms. I keep a loaded HK Compact .40SW and my 1858 Remington loaded with Ultramax .45 Schofield cowboy rounds, I would probably go for the Remington if trouble came my way. We sound like birds of a feather. You sure have a nice collection. I have added a few recently also, now I got guns everywhere running out of places for them. Anyway that's not a bad problem to have as I see it.:)

I got into buying broken ones and fixing them. Best hobby in the world. Fix them, shoot them, clean and oil, put then in a gun sock and store them.
My safe got full so I put them in a suitcase. That got full so I put them in a gym bag, but that got full. Then I started on a big cardboard box, that filled up. Opened a big drawer, full!!! Now I just pile them up in a corner.
I have a couple of nephews that are just waiting for me to drop over.

Yep, as in dead.
If old Arthur would let up a little in my wrists and ankles, I wouldn't mind living a long time. The way it is, I don't know. Recoil of mild loads are starting to bother me real bad.

When I want to play "The Duke" and go after the bad guys, this is the rig I take out and make the bottles swing. Most of the work was done by a pard named Halfway Creek Charlie. I altered it to use a ported Kirst 45 long colt conversion cylinder. This is my favorite rig to play with, I think that is because Charlie done most of the real work.
Most of these pictures were taken after I completed the rigs, before taking them out and using them. They don't look so new anymore but that's ok because everything (and people) get worn with use.
