Fantastic. Congratulations.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Way to go! The colors and bluing are In beautiful condition for a 115 year old Colt. 😊 After I inherited it, it was in sad shape. I had a total refurb done on it. All original parts were retained down to the last screw. Nothing replaced, just refinished. I have since had to put a new Wolf spring in for the trigger though.

GREAT cull buck!!
Great pistol! True on both of those! I'm kicking myself for not taking a cull buck I should have shot last weekend. Taking one with that cool revolver/load is sweet.

Very nice!
Many would have restored a valuable old revolver and pampered it in a safe. Great to see you shooting it and hunting it....using it for the purpose it was designed for.
Well maybe utilizing it to dispatch some Marauding Rascal would be a closer use for this old Peacemaker's original designed purpose, but then it would end up in a police evidence room so maybe hold off on that.
Any info you can share as to how it was used by your relative, or does only the old revolver know those stories?
