Through the years I've had quite a few of these. Blued, stainless, both 5-1/2"' and 7-1/2" barrels... walnut grips, stag grips... oh well! All I have is remorse now, lol! Back when I had them, they were the only cap n' ball revolvers legal for handgun deer hunting here in IL. Between the Ruger Old Army's and the T/C Scout 54 cal pistol, I really enjoyed my time in the woods with them. Looked at the 45 Colt cylinders for them, but since I had a Blackhawk in 45 Colt, it never went any farther than that. Enjoy them, they really are very nice revolvers.


It isn't what happens to you that defines you, it's what you DO about what happens to you that defines you!
