Picked the “El Patron” up today. Looks like the cylinder throats are .452. Kinda surprised me after hearing most of you guys have .454 throats.

Correct, I shoot 454 in 452, .514 in .512, .512 in .510, .460 in .458, .even .380 in .377 in the case of my M-94 38-55 lever rifle.

BTW, the looks on peoples faces when you touch off a blackpowder loaded revolver is worth the price of admission alone, it's a real serious BOOM! and blows fire 4' out the end of the barrel and two feet on either side of the revolver at dusk.  I can only imagine the flash on some of the battlefields during the Indian Wars! A lot of the gunfights back then were closer than you'd imagine, being many times, in saloons, brothels, and the like. It was not uncommon for the flash to set people's clothes on fire.

Damn, wouldn't that suck? a 44 or 45 cal hole blasted in your chest laying there with your shirt and beard on fire while your dying.  Those sonofaguns lived "and" died harder than we ;]
