I've got their 12guage coach gun. One barrel cylinder bore and one modified. They're definitely up close and personal guns. Even the modified choke barrel patterns around 2' at 15 yards. The cylinder bore barrel is closer to 3'. But it's a handy little room clearer.

Thats a very nice gun. Love the videos. I have 12 gauge muzzloading shotgun with 28" barrels i use for hunting and man are they fun

Nice beginning to an adventure!

You should of used the good the bad and the ugly theme song . Since you know all about ugly. Just joking. Im the kettle

I purchased eddystone 30 06 5 years ago ugly rifle pristine bore accuracy was amazing recoil very little it turned out to be my favorite bolt rifle nice rifle you will be surprised accuracy and recoil department

Nice video and congrats on a fine rifle

There had been in Europe sometimes pistols with stocks or very short carbines as regular cavallry weapons, so this shotgun is not totally impossible. And remember, also some thousands of Pikes had been produced in US civil war.

I’d love one of these the music at the end was great 👍🇦🇺

I purchased my first of 3 at a pawn shop in Charleston SC shoots great.

0:57 Hehehe I can tell which one of those you actually shoot Man of culture

So damned COOL . . .

Try Slugs the next time , please !You will be impressed . . . .

Can you check to see if this conversion cylinder fits in and indexes in a Spiller and Burr? I know, i know - brass frame. Still, I'm curious...

7:09 - Parts are getting easier to get by? Are you referring to originals or the large number of reproduction parts?

10yds is about the maximum effective pistol range, even with a modern handgun. I'm not talking about target shooting. I'm talking about self-defense scenarios. It would be more interesting to see the damage & accuracy at 10+ft.

I appreciate this channel, I have shot and cast for muzzleloaders for a while but your videos helped me take the plunge and try it for some of my old warhorses too

i have the 1851 Navy Brass .44 71/2

for the pellets, try putting a sabot !

this is a very lazy way to "interpret" a peppernox !! Pieta do not deserve a review!

My flintlocks always work best in the rain.

Very nice shooting. I do like running cast boolits through my surplus rifles, inexpensive and so much fun with pretty decent accuracy. Good luck at the match.

I’d rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6

The reason for it being meatier is not necessarily because people will use "Stronger" Loads. It is because the pressures generated by 45 ACP are significantly higher than that of a 45 Colt. Starting Pressures on a 45 Colt 7-9 Thousand CUP, for 700-950 FPS. (Hodgdon reloading Data) 45 ACP pressures are in the 11-13 Thousand CUP for the same bullet weight and speed. (Hodgdon Reloading Data). That is why their are only 5 Rounds per cylinder vs 6 for 45 Colt. But For a small pistol that thing got some kick to it.....

Back in the day, (30+) yeas ago when shooting NRA High Power we would have nostalgia shoots once a month, there was a group of people that shot 03's, 03A3's, Crag rifles and P17's. almost all those guys shot cast bullets for 200 yard SF, RF out to the 300 yard stage of HF Prone, the would shoot ether the M-2 Ball round or the 173 Gr special Ball round at 500 yards. There is nothing that a Jacketed bullet will give you in the way of accuracy out to 300 if you did your due diligences and found the right powder combination and size bullet diameter that fit your barrel. anyway, It's nice that people are rediscovering this. Good video, Peace - Dave

Sir, thanks for all your videos! Helped a lot! What about ROA with unmentionables? Your channel definitely lacks it. As for stocked c&b - just avoid to save your face 😂

There are a few things I could learn from you. Chiefly to use my words wisely, and stay on point. Today I want off on a rant, that even after some editing is nearly a half hour. Mountain man

When I was a young guy I sold many P14's & P17's to others who were using the receivers for custom gun building!

I have a Traditions pistol that I built from a kit, and the 'brass' components actually appear to be a phosphor bronze alloy. It still looks the same as brass, but it is a lot harder and quite difficult to bend. I have heard about some people trying to adjust the shape of Pietta brass grip frames and being unable to get them to bend, so I bet Pietta are using a phosphor bronze too. if that's the case, I would have no qualms about using normal loads in one, even in the .44 version.

I would say about the durability of a brass frame is more important pick a .36 caliber or smaller and don’t use to much powder and if you use a felt wad between the powder and the lead you can’t overload the powder as easily. And get a set of feeler gauges from the automotive parts store to check for gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone if you can see the gap between grows. But that depends on is the cylinder backed by the brass frame or the base pin and is the recoil of the cylinder get stopped by the frame. Now if it getting stopped by the base pin then the pin is getting stop by the wedge in the barrel and no deformation should happen in the frame. And one more thing what kind of brass is it? Alpha - beta brass is harder and stronger and is worked hot alpha has higher zinc so it’s lighter in color than beta. Beta is stronger but is worked hot and is more of a casting metal. Now remember more copper the softer the brass is. Now I will say stay away from brass .44 caliber frames because of the powder load.

These pistols work best with Remington or CCI #10 caps. The #11 caps are a wee bit longer and they don’t fit snug on the short #10 nipple. Other folks have squeezed the #11 caps to snug them up but find that they may still fall off or get blown off on either side of the round being fired due to the loose fit. Best fix is changing the #10 nipple to a #11. Some folks seldom have a problem with either but #10 is the best

The bullets were jumping out of the cases upon firing, or you would have been dragging when you were loading them.

I received a reply back from pedersoli: Thank you for the inquiry. The recommendation for using steel shot with chrome lined barrels is to put the steel shot into a plastic wad, we recommend it for our side by side ML shotguns. I assume it is also valid for the shorter barrels of the Baker double barrels. I would increase of a little bit the powder load of the lead shot; 1 oz # 7 shot with 25 grs. (increase up to 28 grains)of fffg. and where permitted .614” round ball and .010” patch with 28 grs. of fffg. Best regards, Customer service So, these barrels are chrome lined? And they do recommend FFFG powder (pistol pyrodex) over FFG (rifle pyrodex)?

I have a 36 brass frame and a 36 steel frame. I prefer the brass frame 36 as it has an elegant appearance.

It is in fact a Schneider and glass

Are you able to use steel birdshot out of this?

Mais tu só fala, vai direto a ação para um papagaio

How would you unload this without firing it to reload it with a fresh load? How long can a load remain unfired in the chamber by your bed for homedefense til it must be reloaded with a fresh load.

How long could this stay loaded and unused but ready for home defense before the powder must be replaced? How do you unload it without firing it?

I was gifted this exact same revolver by a former coworker. It belonged to her late husband.

Do you know if steel birdshot ok to use in this firearm?

Man that looks my mine is pretty rusty😢

In your video you say you're using goex black powder, but in your description, you say pyrodex 2f. Could you confirm which? If you're using goex, what do you recommend as a load for 2f pyrodex?

Good job. You can extend the video a little by briefly keeping the viewer informed about the results of each shot. I understand the goal, but you're already ahead by not yapping and throwing in other distractions.

After seeing your video, I bought one and absolutely love it, EXCEPT I need the SLICKSHOT nipples. I even found some of the Speer Shot Capsules and will experiment with those for snake loads. Thanks

Thanks for your video(s). So instead of lube after the bullet you prefer using a lube wade inside the chamber ?

this appears to have a larger hand grip then the Remington models, is that correct?

Is it possible to fire both barrels at once?

Cool little piece. You have to remember that during the Civil War, even with most cavalry being equipped with some sort of sidearm besides their sabres, cavalry engagements most often took place very up close and personal. This thing would have been hugely effective at the intended ranges. Not to mention very easy to load on horseback. I don't know much about these and their use, but as you said yourself, the barrels could have been slightly longer. But then again, a few more inches would probably not have made a significant difference in the shot pattern, but it may have made it more unwieldly and more difficult to load. In the end, it was probably rare for a cavalryman to be armed with one of these, but those who had it surely appreciated it immensely as a last resort.

Thanks John. Very informative. I hunted Black Bear in Canada with a 50 cal muzzleloader. When I shot a 300 pounder at 20 feet I reloaded a LOT faster than you did. LOL! Oh, and I see you went snow white early like me.

You can use jacketed loads with the kirst converter. I asked. Just use Winchester white box 230 grain. 830 fps average out of 5 inch barrel. You're well under that with such a short barrel .
