Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 My first handgun was a brass framed 1851 Navy revolver that I got in 1972 when I was 17 years old. I loved that gun and I literally wore it out shooting it with heavy loads. I've had a lot of Navy revolvers since then, and they have a real place in my heart. So I hope you enjoy this video. And on an Off-Topic note. I do a lot of videos on modern guns too, but I don't post them here. If you'd like to see them you can "Like" my writer's page on Facebook where I post updates, or go straight to my YouTube channel.

Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Don't know if the Cap and Ball videos interest you all, but I have several more planned. What would you rather see next, the Colt 1860 Army or the Starr .44? Your vote matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickahominy Charlie Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Of course, we'd like to see BOTH! When you do the 1860 Army, point out the differences between the 1851 Navy and the 1860 Army. I think a lot of folks don't realize the design changes Sam Colt put in there. JMHO.

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Maybe for fun you can contrast those authentic cap & ball's with the Ruger Old Army in a video... GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden A. Grudge Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Good video. But you missed one, I know you explained it with the hot cap falling into your palm but wasn’t that from your left hand revolver and don’t the caps fall off to the right? Ha! Just kidding with ya’ pard. Can’t wait to see the next video. I vote for the Starr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Holden you're right. It was my left hand, and caps do fall to the right. It must have landed on my thumb because I remember getting burned. Good catch on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waimea Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 REALLY like the last camera angle. Could be a gunfighters last vision if he isn't faster than you. Cool vid! Waimea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 A great video, I've shot 51s and 60s, never seen a Star in action, but would like to see both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Walmea, anybody would be faster than me. I only win against the camera because it is unarmed. Well, based on the two votes recorded, the Starr will be next, followed by the 1860. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Actually I placed my votes elsewhere and those two were not there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Gunner. The only ROA I have is the Buntline. And they aren't making any more of them, so getting a T&E model from Ruger isn't possible. But, if one drops into my lap I'll do the video. I promise.

Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Slowhand, I'll do a Baby Dragoon video, as I said on CAS City, I don't have a .31 Remmie. For C&Bs, here's the list in the order I expect to produce them: Starr .44 Colt 1860 Army Colt 1851 Navy .44 caliber Colt Walker and Dragoon LeMat Baby Dragoon Improving the Remington New Model Army Now, some modern and some cowboy cartridge stuff may end up interfiled with the C&Bs, but that's my C&B list to get through.

Jed I. Knight, SASS #36423 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Another good video BDM. As you know, the '51 Navy is my gun of choice!! Thanks again for postin' this video!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Shot my 1851 Navy across the screens of my Chornograph using a .375 ball averaged 967 Fps. ,, Temp 50*,,, Alitude 3,483 ... The speed is as clocked 12 feet from the muzzle and is the average of ten shots ... Good smoke and the ball gets to target right quick ,,,, Heck I could get my shot of .003 slower than most SASS shooters at 75 yards and still kill them fast enough to disturb their aim ....

Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Great list BDM and do not rush it, when you run out what will we watch then? If you have not done the Henry rifle I am sure lots of smoke belchers would love that also. Of all my toggle links my Henry would be the last one I would let go. They are the prettiest of all rifles produced from the CW era forward but we will not get into the Pennsylvania and Tennessee styles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
