Actually, I have two! One is an older 1972 vintage Navy Arms 1858 Remington New Army and the other is a new Pietta 1858 model. Both are steel framed. I had such good luck with the old one, and fired it so many weekends that I have nearly worn it out. That's why I got the new one. So far it's been a great shooter. I've been using combustable paper cartridges mostly, but want to try metallic cartridges for once. Of course, I've seen "Pale Rider" many times!

Guess I hafta say that if R&D says it (.45 LC) will work then it must be so. However, at $240 per cylinder I won't get too many spare ones!
