Trigger Mike Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Since they are out of school my 12 year old wanted to shoot cap and ball. I opted to burn some of my black powder 45lc ammo so we loaded the 1847 walker with a conversion cylinder and away we went. I wanted to use up some of the black powder rounds in case something happens to me and no one knows how to clean after shooting black powder. I also showed him how afterwards. I am also thinking of selling it but have not decided. 20220117_145029.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The neat thing about that is I was watching it on my phone. The microphone is it the bottom of my phone. And I had it setting on my belly. So every time he fired, I felt it. That the kid that shot two deer with one shot with a Garand? I don't recall if you were the one that posted that, but that does look like the boy in the picture.

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Nicely done. Well trained lad. First shot supported, then offhand as God intended handguns to be fired. Do you have a video of him cleaning it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Yep, same one that hit 2 deer with 1 round from a garand. Didn't film him cleaning it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Good, hefty kid! I know full grown men who can't one-hand a Walker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 I let him view all the remarks you all made. It made him feel good. He sometimes seems insecure. His older brother adds to it as he likes to disparage his ability to shoot compared to his own. Your remarks did him some good. He was surprised about grown men not being able to one hand a walker. He liked that comment a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I got to spend time with a Walker last year when making a holster for friend. I gave it to him when we were shooting his Walker and my 1851 Navies. He said that the Walker felt great to him and was not big, only that other guns were small. Nice video. Great to a kid learning the history of guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he handles that hand cannon he has no reason to feel insecure (other than at that age most kids feel insecure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 If it's good enough for Josie Wales........the kid is in good company. He needn't feel insecure anywhere, any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
