Garrett Co Hooligan #1
Yep, as if four BP pistols weren't enough, yesterday Cabelas put some Pietta pistols on sale with free shipping. (I'm such a pushover for free shipping...
). Especially when I had "points" to use for my purchase. 
Thanks to folks like 4570 (aka Hooligan enablers) BP has recently become a passion. Making white smoke is addictive and fun as hell!
Here's the other side:
Even though there was never an original 1851 Navy pistol built in 44 cal (only 36 cal), at the end of the day it's BP, balls and caps that make fun white smoke! For a cheap addition to my growing pistola collection...I'm looking forward to a fun Hooligan shoot when it arrives.
You must admit, BP is fun shootin'!
Keep your powder dry!
). Especially when I had "points" to use for my purchase. - I could have ordered the brass frame 1851 Navy in 44 cal:http://www.cabelas.com/product/shoo...ber-black-powder-revolver/740536.uts?slotId=0
- Instead I chose the case hardened steel frame version that's on B/O for $30 more.http://www.cabelas.com/product/shoo...vy-steel-cal-bp-revolver/2359036.uts?slotId=4
- Pics below of both versions.

Here's the other side:
- While Pietta pistols are inexpensive, QC on the ones I've purchased was "iffy".
- I've had to refit wedges and make other adjustments on their pistols to tune them.
- You get what you pay for.
