Stainless, LNIB, safe Queen from about 2008 This goes with my 1995 that I scoped Or the Bicentennial that I had converted to .50 and shorter barrel (Feel free to move to muzzleloader if fit is better)
I'd pit my Pietta Sheriff's Model Remington New Army .45 cap and ball revolver up against the Ruger Old Army in terms of reliability. Its fixed sights are perfectly regulated, too.
I’ve never broken anything, so I can’t really measure reliably.
I can say that attempting a proof charge full cylinder of bullseye didn’t do anything and the fact it uses LC conversion cylinders speaks to strength
“The revolver was tested by loading each chamber to capacity with Bullseye smokeless powder and a lead ball. While this might result in catastrophic failure in other firearms, the Old Army proved to be strong enough to handle the pressure.”

I hate you.
Love your ROA collection! I have only one. Wish I would have bought a stainless version when they were still making them.
