Hawg is right on the money (as usual)
A Walker is a true "horse pistol". I think everybody should have at least one!
There
are "fixes" for the loading lever drop.
A Uberti/Walker was the first BP pistol I ever owned. Still have it. Bought it new. I like the "fit and finish" of the Uberti line. I believe Uberti to be one of the top producers of repro arms in terms of quality.
With mine, any load 45gr or more of Goex/Swiss will drop the loading lever. Question to Hawg (or anyone else)... Whats the most real BP you ever loaded/fired from a Walker?
