I learned 4 things today.

First, I really do prefer the 1858 Remington to the Colt open top designs, even the Walker.

Second, Its a lot of fun doing a shoot off between the 2 pistols when someone else brings the Colt & it's all in good fun.

Third, The 4+ Lb Walker is nowhere as unwieldy as I assumed it would be.

Fourth, Never do this in one of those outdoor ranges where they have walled in the firing line 90% as a noise abatement feature, especially the point shooting head to head against the clock part of the contest.
*kof* * koff*

( I think we turned onlookers into kippers there was so much trapped smoke!)
