Single action revolver pic thread

[Bigghoss]

I have an affinity for Uberti’s replicas of the cap and ball conversions. In competition (NCOWS) shooting full case compressed black powder loads I find they work great and really give up nothing to the SAA in terms of speed or accuracy out to 15 yards. Past that the sights get harder to work with.

I had one of mine converted to a pocket pistol for our side matches for those guns, and it has been a blast to shoot. Mine was intended to resemble the famous pocket pistol used by Dallas Stoudenmire except I really wanted a front sight for it as a competition gun.

I only shoot these black powder or BP substitute although I am certain they are fine with the lighter “cowboy load” versions of the smokeless cartridges. I would never run them with a bunch of a full power smokeless loads. I am pretty sure those pressures would be detrimental to the gun’s life span.

Very cool. I'd like to get a cartridge conversion replica eventually.

None of you are free of sin.

Suddenly I remembered the powerful need I have for a SA revolver.

Yeah. I realized I was without single action so I had to scramble to fix that. Now I'm off to go shoot it.

Standard .357 stainless Vaquero and a '61 Ruger Bearcat.

Got the Blackhawk out to the range. The Bisley grip frame really does help tame felt recoil and the .45 ACP cylinder is just fun.

@Bigghoss, I got an answer on your grips:

That is Sorrel Corian made by Gary Reeder...

Have those on several of my Reeder Customs...

Thanks, good to know.

Old bearcat be the best bearcat. Nice.

I only have one, a SBH 5.5" that is nothing special:

Tripped across it at a funshow when I was trolling for something completely different, but for $350 with the pictured Simply Rugged holster I hopped on it. Didn't really need it, never really used it, not gonna sell it. I like the 5.5", probably the only thing I would ever actually use it for might be an Ohio Whitetail, and it needs to be 5" to be legal.

Now that I dug it out of the safe for this picture, perhaps later this evening it might appear in the What Did You Shoot Today thread

Nice! I like my BH Vaq (see upthread) so much I’ve thought about doing this to a 4 5/8” just because.

Bump because I'm on a single action kick right now.

Old Model Super Single Six, came to me without the Mag cylinder and the stocks already carved
