A Dirty Day

On the Range with dirty, smelly, antiquated Black Powder and 3 handguns. I got a present that I ordered for myself today ... an 1851 Navy!

It's a Pietta. EMF has them on sale for $274.00 and since I have birthday coming sooner or later I decided to buy me a birthday gift.

So I had to take it to the Range! And since I wanted to try out some of my paper cartridges for the Dragoon and the 1862 Police I packed everything up and went out and got smokey!

The 1851 has an amazing trigger right out of the box. And it seems like it's gonna be accurate.

The 1862 Police did well with the paper cartridges.

The 3rd Model Dragoon seems like the heavy load.

I am sure all 3 are much more accurate. I had a hard time keeping the brass front bead in focus in the bright sunlight today. But I am not griping about the sunshine! We hadn't seen the sun in quite a few days.

It was a fun day ... I ran about 25 rounds through each gun. I spent more time cleaning the guns than I did shooting! That's part of the fun.
