    Suggestions for stainless steel BP revolver

    Much as I love it, I'm thinking of changing the Remington New Army for something in stainless. Could well just be a stainless New Army, but just out of interest, what do people on here like? I've wondered about a Rogers & Spencer, as I've tried one now and again & liked the fact it doesn't gunge up so much as the Remington. The R&S does have a bit of a short stroke on the loading rod and a proneness for the loading rod screws to bugger up, but I find the much larger grip very welcome.

    Any opinions?
    Yes but apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, what did you think of the performance?

    IMO, if you can afford it then the Ruger Old Army is the way to go.

    'much larger grip very welcome' Errrrr Euroarms grips may not be to your liking though, as its very much as the original.
    Try Pietta's model their grips are usually larger.

    The Remington Pietta has larger grips not sure about the R&S - no experience with this pistol, though from what I've read its an excellent pistol. From the pics in the Kranks catalogue the grips do look bigger on the R&S.
