peacemakers

[craig9mm]

hi all,
anyone experince either Cattleman or San Marco m/l copies of the peacemaker?
opinions welcome.They seem to sell quick when they get advertised
Also any views on 777 powder ? Is it cleaner than pirodex?
accuracy any good/
thank you

They look good but from my encounters with them accuracy and barn door spring to mind.

I have the 7.5" Uberti Cattleman .. shoots ok at 20 - 25 yards. Don't shoot it that often as it's a faff to load but it's good fun. Previously had the shorter barrel model and it was dreadful .. inaccurate and really noisy for 15 grains of powder. I stick to Pyrodex and haven't tried 777 so would be interested too.

I had the 5 1/2" one and it couldn't hit the target very often at 25 yards.My Rodgers and Spencer held the 9 ring .It also hit people at the side of me with burnt powder.It looked good but I sold it.

I shoot 777 FFFG in my Ruger Old Army 45. It cleans up with water and is said to be more accurate but I could not hit the side of a barn with a hand gun - even if I were inside the barn! I use between 15 and 17 Gns by weight in mine. The 777 FFG that I use in my Enfield 3-band gives excllent accuracy and easy clean up, plus you don't need a black powder licence.

I've got two. A 4.75" and a 7.5". Both of them shoot well and are comparable to my other Uberti's and Euroarms.

I found with mine if I close the barn doors I can hit them from the inside of the barn no probs

Hey,

see this thread:

Plenty of pictures etc. Also got a video of me shooting a nitro conversion here:

I had the original black powder version in 4 3/4". It was ok but not great. Very loud and not very easy to shoot. The fact that you had to strip the weapon to load it meant it took forever to load! Plus wen they got hot and dirty it was very hard to get the cylinder guide rod out!

I'm a bit of a Colt collector so my reasons for wanting one again are mainly for show, and a bit of a fun gun where i'm not bothered about grouping size.

After i sold this is got a Colt 1851.....it really is a Colt too which is amazing, espec that i only got it for £175! I don't think the shop that had it really knew what they were sitting on. To top it all off, its a competition winner! I'm geting 2-3 inch groupings without any problems!

Here's mine, first 6 shots in a row at 15 (only shot it once before), had been filing the foresight, nearly got it sorted.

I enjoyed it.

Looking for another if anyone knows of one?
