Shooting the prettiest revolver of the old west - Colt's first model Richards cartrid

duelist1954 · November 30, 2013, 11:09 AM

This is a video about what is, in my opinion, the prettiest revolver of the old west, the first model Richards 1860 Army cartridge conversion.

This is an Armi San Marco replica from 1998, chambered in .44 Colt...still one of my favorite sixguns.

That pistol'a was made for you Mike. Not doubt it appeared on screen you Sir are a professional shootist.

Honestly that pistol shot really good for a much older design. I was taken back by how accurate it was in your hand.

I put a higher front sight on it as soon as I got it. Since then, this gun has always been an accurate shooter, as long as I do my part.
