I think the bigger the calibre the more consistent it will shoot.
Best gun for choice, the non-authentic Ruger Old Army .45, stainless steel with fries on the side and a rootbeer cup-holder. If you pack it with enough Pyrodex and pig-fat it will kill an furious steer during a stampede, like the song 'Utah Carol' relates. But you are in New Orleans, so go get a nice eight-shot Smith & Wesson 627 .357 Magnum and shoot .38 Special target wadcutter loads in it. Darn accurate and nice sweet shooting, you won't have to spend an hour loading and an hour cleaning the dang thing.
Blackpowder will decrode your life and your wife will end up feeding you nothing but pot-liquor and biscuits because she won't be minding you no more, no Sir! Get a nice Smith and make life easy for yourself.

Which one of them has the shoulder stock, Simon?Originally Posted by Simon G
I own three .36's and three .44's, the .36's are without doubt the most accurate. On of the .36's I have a detachable shoulder stock for as well...... I wish I could emulate it's performance without the stock!!!

What are you doing up so late, Hsing-ee?
Well, I just got me a 10-shot Umarex Smith and Wesson!Maybe I'll get a 627 Smith to go with it. EIGHT shots, you say?.....
You know, I did read about a fellow in the States who liked his Umarex Smith so much he went out out and bought a cartridge one, just so he'd have one to match.
Cheers,

It's an Uberti 1861 Navy. I'll take a couple of pics soon....

Yes, it's based on the the large-frame Smith that was originally designed for the .44 Magnum cartridge, so there is plenty of space in the cylinder for eight .357 Magnum rounds. Because it is large and heavy it has less recoil lift so it is supposed to be nice to shoot. Was saving up for one when the ban came in in the UK. Never mind ...

That would be great, Simon.
One thing I love about these BP pistol Threads is seeing the pics of everyone's great pistols.

The N frame was originally designed in 1908 for .44 Special. The first magnum cartridge chambered was the .357 in 1935 in the "Registered Magnum" which became the model 27. The .44 magnum didn't come about till 1957. Improvements in the strength of steel have allowed the fitting of 8 rounds into an N frame and seven into a K/L frame, as the cylinder walls don't have to be as thick to contain the 35000+ psi generated.

But the beauty of B/P revolvers is that there are so may deals to be head! Out of those above, the 7.5 Cattleman cost me 70 quid and the Uberti Navy was free as part of another deal!!I feel rather poor, I've only got one.
A lot of guys bought into B/P but can't get on with it. Granted, I'd much prefer cartridge, but as a poor second, it'll do!
I'm even on the look out for a couple of others........

Thankyou!
What a shame you can't keep them on the bookcase, they do make a rather striking display!
Cake and fine wine!
Simon, I thought the Cattleman was a cartridge gun?How do you get that, or are you not in the UK?
And another general question for anyone here - which .36 revolver is a good fit for bigger hands? I'm moving to an R&S for the .44 for that reason so need something of that ilk in the grips department.
Yes but apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, what did you think of the performance?
