More from Fragman1919A4
This is my Pietta 1858 Remington black powder revolver and one of the newer "Earl" 22 switch caliber revolvers.
I love the Remington revolvers. The top strap was an advantage over the Colt revolvers, and it's just a better looking gun.
The North American Arms mini-revolvers started out as curiosities. The short barrels on the earlier models tended to throw the bullets in a keyhole pattern. In short, they tumbled.
The Earl models are stainless and with the long barrels, they not only shoot well, they are accurate.
I needed a small pistol to go into my minimalist shoulder-bag survival kit, so this was a great small piece to include. 100 rounds of 22LR takes up little room and adds minimal weight. While not ideal, it weighs less than a quarter of a small standard 22LR Kit-gun.
I like the design, I like the size and the guns are available in a set with 22LR and 22WMR cylinders. I have the 22WMR cylinder somewhere, but I don't need it cuz it's useless through a barrel this short.

I love my Piettas...and Ubertis, so much that I've got a few of them....about 5. And conversion cylinders. And spare cylinders. Then again, on the brass business card I have for my Cowboy persona, it does say "Remington Revolver Addict".
And I'm drooling over an 1888 transition in the gunstore I work at.

Those look interesting. (EFFECTUATORS is set in 1869-1871, so those are out of the tech range)
19th century guns have always been a main delight of mine.
Some of the British made pepperboxes fired through the lower chamber, keeping the line of recoil low through the wrist (as used today by tyhe Mateba revovers). Faster firing than revolvers - so i slipped one into the stories

Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Once Upon a Time in the West
For a Few Dollars More
the great silence
fistful of dollars
Django
The Big Gundown
Death Rides a horse
Duck, you Sucker
My name is nobody
return of ringo and of course stuff like Unforgiven, Josey Wales, Tombstone, Quick and the Dead etc etc etc. Westerns...and it all has to do with watching them being some of the few times my uncle and I really ever spent time together enjoying something. I was raised by my aunt and uncle, they were mom and dad to me, but I was always a lot closer to her than to him. Westerns, World War II movies and James Bond flicks were what I watched with him.

It's not fear of the gun as much as its that one of my partners suffers from Gender Identity disorder, PTSD and major depressive disorder. He spent a few weeks in a psychiatric ward back in 2009 due to is being suicidal. He's fine now, but it's probably not the best Idea to keep guns in the house.
Clint Eastwood made the Remington immortal in the movie Pale Rider.
I need to get out and fire my cartridge conversion revolvers.
And my Schofield....
...And my trapdoor.
While I'm thinking about it, how is the availability and price on .22 rimfire out your way?
We're still seeing shortages and idiots trying to get $50 a box for it out here.
I have plenty- a couple of 250 or 275 round bulk boxes of Remington yellow jacket I bought long ago and have never had a chance to go out and burn off.
(And a few boxes of weird novelty stuff I got at a gun show, like .22 Kolibri and CB caps, the superheavy bullet low velocity stuff for suppressed weapons, "super velocity" thats probably identical to CCI stinger etc.)
But I am beginning to wonder if the artificial shortage of plain old .22LR rimfire is a local issue, or if its just as bad elsewhere.

too busy playing with all that reloading stuffs I've bought over the last year+
just loaded up some .45acp
Semi-Wadcutters are a BITCH >.< I ruined 29 of them before I gave up and moved to fmj round nosed bullets... those went VERY easy comparatively speaking. I only screwed up three of them, when I wasn't paying attention...
or it might have been I hadn't set the resizer correctly. I'mma experimental in the mornings when I can focas my eyes again
