Cabala's has them on sale for $179 (also the 1851 Navy Brasser for $129). I just could not help myself, I missed my old BP wheel gun too much. I drove over before work and took one home with me. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, it's all I have here at work. |

These are awesome pistols! I shoot mine about every two or three months and hitting the bullseye at 25 yards is no big deal with this gun! Great buy! | |

That is some nice-looking wood on the grip!
I have really enjoyed mine, and my nephew has enjoyed the NMA replica i gave him. I still haven't figured out how he loaded two balls in one chamber, though. __________________

Shouldn't have done it but just had to at that price. Got an extra cylinder also. Both back ordered but I'm in no hurry. __________________

That is a good deal!! I have the 1858 New Army Target model (has a rear sight) and I also bought an 1858 SS Buffalo Model that has a barrell about 12" long!! Lots of fun!! I "had" to buy the spare cylinders too. I use .454 balls FYI. | |

Has anyone used cast bullets from a Lee mold in these? They claim better accuracy over a round ball and I like the lube rings near the base. I am going to get a mould but don't know if I should just stick with the round ball. __________________
