    short barreled 44s are so hard to get the ball seated. Use a cheater pipe or load them in a gun with long barrel/longer seating ramrod, i.e. more leverage or as I use to teach , more mechanical advantage.

    Or….take the cylinder off the gun and use one of those loaders like the old “Tower of Power”

    that is a steal! I have two. I use mine in classic cowboy and never had a problem. they are 12 ga the chinese used a Colt 1878 10ga for the pattern so they are extra solid and can handle 3 inch magnum shells if you are crazy enough to want to try them. John Henry is a good guy to trade with. I have met him in my cardiologist’s parking lot in jackson MS and bought and sold guns with him more than once. irish ☘️ pat

    James Henry not John Henry 

    I can attest to that Irish Pat !

    I am a retired sergeant from a Sheriff’s Office and when I first got my ttn, I just had to see for myself.
    Loaded her up with law enforcement issued 3” 12 pellet 00 Buck in both barrels. Touched off both barrels at same time !!

    What a rush ! I don’t recommend doing that if you ain’t built like a lumberjack but that little sawed off just handled it like a champ !

  3. I have a ‘72 Open Top .38 with a 5 1/2” barrel I might consider letting go for $500.
    It is marked Cimarron, Fredricksburg, Texas.

    Never really thought about letting it go because I really like the looks of it even though I rarely shoot it

    It would be next week before I could do anything anyway, if your local shop doesn’t pan out or you don’t locate what you’re looking for else where, give me a shout next week.

  4. Rocky Mountain Cartridge can make you some. They are very spendy but they are available. Figure $8 each with a minimum order of 20. They are turned from bar stock and not “drawn” like conventional cartridges. That’s what makes them so expensive. The good thing is you will never wear them out.
