I have a Colt 1860 Fluted Cylinder Army 44 replica by Cabela's and a Colt Signature Series Navy 36.. they don't kick at all but my are they LOUD.

Amazes me that anyone carried these things loaded and ready to go, shows you why there are pins between the nipples, and why there are flaps on old holsters.

P.S. thank god for fiber pads that replaced cylinder grease, makes clean up and shooting easier.

Of sad note.. I bought a box of conical bullets for my navy.. and they don't fit in the loading gate , oh well at least they were cheap. The conicals for the army work very well.

I use real black powder (not pyrodex) in my pistols, and mine is german made if I recall correctly. When I see real fffg black powder for sale I buy some, as its hard to get. Note to the new: its possible to set a target on fire at ten feet with a black powder revolver.
