Spiller & Burr Revolver

It has been a tough Winter, but I finally got back out to the range to test the Spiller & Burr replica for my black powder column in "Guns of the Old West" magazine.

Here's a video of the session, and a picture for your enjoyment.

Another very interesting video, Mike. Is the cylinder pin of the S&B larger in diameter than the Remington?

No. I think it is just a bit smaller than the Remington's pin

Mike - another great video . . thanks for sharing! I've always wanted a S & B and it's on my "want list". Looks like a nice shooter and a lot of fun!

Mike,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've been toying with buying a S&B since last fall for a Confederate Calvary Impression (and lead slinging

). This just helped me make my mind up

Great video as always, and looks like with a little sight work a great/fun pistol.
