Mmmmmm... Wheelguns...
Here's Kurt's own words:
You asked for pick for next Fridays gun p()rn, so I thought you might be interested in my two Colt open tops. The black one is an 1872 Conversion replica that takes a .38 cartridge and the silver one is a 1851 Colt Navy replica that takes a .44 ball and black powder.Boy howdy, but those are some mighty nice lookin' wheelguns...
That is all.

I was wrong calling the top a conversion, because the two previous iterations were using the front stuffer frames.
The black one was the first designed for cased rounds.
You can buy conversion cylinders for a cap & ball revolver, but they cost about half as much as as the pistol it's self AND you need to disassemble the gun every time you reload.

is that a woman shootist?
I once fired a Remington Cap & Ball revolver (well, hogleg) at a range. The time between trigger pull and powder ignition is not only long enough to notice, it is almost long enough to wonder if the thing misfired. The smoke was wonderful, and the slow punch of the recoil was remarkably different from that of modern pistols. Quite a bit of fun to shoot.
I'll admit it. I have an unnatural affection for ball and cap revolvers.
Don't have one, probably will never get one, I just like 'em a lot.
Purty :-) Me like revolvers... :-)
