Happy Accident! The Schneider & Glassick: A classic Revolver of the Confederacy

This video tells the story of how a historian discovered that the brass framed, 1851 Colt Navy (that did not exist in history as a colt), was in fact, a close replica of a little-known Cap & Ball Revolver from Memphis, TN during the Civil War, called the Schneider & Glassick! Watch as I discuss this happy accident and shoot my newly discovered Schneider & Glassick 36 caliber brass framed cap & ball revolver!

Glad you liked it

A historic revolver I’ve never heard of before !? I love it ! Learning all the time ! So glad I subscribed to your channel - !

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Thanks!!!

[@Gupa-jw4zz]

Wow , I have a whole new outlook on my “cheap” plain brass 1851 !!! Very interesting, Thank you.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Thanks! I had the same reaction!!!

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

I have a brass frame 36 cal round barrel and no engraving on the cylinder. I always assumed it was a representation of a Confederate pistol, modeled after the Colt 51 Navy. It all very interesting and fun as well. Thanks Kindly and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Thank you. Same for you. Sounds like a griswold and Gunnison. Have a terrific night!

[@r669charger7]

I don't think the manufacturer's have ever let historical authenticity (one way or the other) get in the way of making something that they think will sell.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

That’s a very true statement!

[@rcooper3178]

Thanks for the video and the great information! I don’t have one of those but I do have a Griswold and Gunnison. Years ago I didn’t buy a brass framed 1851 Navy when I realized no such revolver had been made.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Your welcome! I had one then realized it didn’t exist as a colt…thanks for your comment.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

i had always heard that the brass frame colt copies existed in the war amd that there werent many produced but i never heard a manufacturers name or a numerical amount thanks j stone now i feel edumacated

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

lol.

[@vincentthekeeper2163]

Good video Jay. I really think my next revolver is going to be the round barrel Griswold and Gunnison replica. I'm hankering for a 36 cal with a brass frame.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Thanks! I really like the Griswold…this one is fun too…I love the brass look too.

[@mikerussell6212]

I really like your videos , an you answer your comments great infos ,thanks

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

You’re welcome! Thank you

[@BigRooster616]

I have the same gun in 44 by Pietta. Looks just like a 51 in Brass without an engraved cylinder and in the 44 caliber . So now will call it a Schneider & Glasick 44 I will now look at it a little different.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

That’s great!

[@INeverMetAGunIDidntLike]

With the Confederacy in dire need of arms, surely some of them were issued or found their way to the battle field. Thanks for the info!

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

I would think so too. In fact I’d bet on it! Thanks

[@MrTgomah]

Great video J, loved the history lesson.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Thanks brother!!!

[@ronrobertson59]

My first cap n ball revolver was a brass frame 1851 Navy I paid $39.00 for in 1968.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

My how times and prices have changed!!!

[@user-nm3rj6wd5c]

Interesting. Thanks so much.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

[@kimberlyschuhs5903]

Was able to buy 6 Remington #10 at Bass pro in council bluffs Iowa today 5/20/24. Hopefully this means the supply is loosening up.

[@mikerussell6212]

I think I have one of those ,got it from cabells in 1989 ,I think only 89.95

[@lessage760]

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Wow! No kidding! I just got a bunch from cabelas. Maybe they’re being produced again…that’d be great news for the hobby. Thanks Les!

[@lessage760]

@@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb they had about 40 tins said he has been having trouble getting #11 though

[@GeorgeHiggs-ic8lb]

I have one of those revolvers made in 1969 imported by hawes. Mine shoots 3 feet left at 20 yards so I never shoot it.

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

They’ve been made by about everybody at some point. Need some Kentucky windage!!! You saw how left I was too

[@geronimo9706]

Thanks, Great and interessting video! Do you also know some historical details about the persons Schneider and Glassick? I Iguess, they were German Immigrants,´! Greetings from Germany!

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

They sound so…but I do not. That’ll be my next endeavor seeing if there’s anything known about them. Thanks!

[@raysheppard8040]

Just like the .44 1851.. but shhhhh, they never existed

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Lol

[@anangryranger]

I get a real kick outta your videos. Started shooting C&B revolvers way back in 1958, as a shirt tail kid. Always a favorite of mine. A side note. As an old army and police weapons instructor, I can't help but notice that you change your shooting position with every shot. Now I'm not trying to be critical, but that's not conducive to repeatable accurate shooting. Just sayin'.😏

[@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb]

Hey thanks! And I don’t take your comments as critical. That’s really helpful. I’ve been playing with my stance an do grip lately as I’ve been in a slump. So…your comments are timely and helpful! Thanks
