S&W No. 3 Double Action and an S&W Safety Hammerless.

Fuck.
B-but muh 7.63 Mauser.
Griswold Cap and Ball revolver
>>30190982
S&W model 3 Scofield revolver. in .44-40 winchester.
Break action is easier for reloads on horseback and I can keep the cartridge common with my lever action winchester.
>>30191209
its the song you dingus
>>30191304
Also an ungainly, unreliable novelty, shooting an anemic round, so...
>>30191460
the New Model 3 was made in .44-40, but the Schofield was not
>>30191520
>anemic round
>85gr at 1300fps
still more powerful than .38 Special
>>30191036
God damn it
>>30191036
>>30191277
Good luck finding 7.63 Mauser in the American West.

What Wild West revolver was the most reliable and long lasting?
>>30191532
Best choice desu
>>30191593
the one that's been in production almost nonstop since its inception
>>30191586
kek
>>30191532
My mistake. I want the new model then.
>>30191593
The whom originals from the 1870's still function

One of those weird french ones with a shotgun under the barrel.

There we go.
Failing that, whatever double action gun I can get my hands on.

Sawed off Springfield trapdoor rifle.

Just watched the other 2 from the Dollars Trilogy for the first time this week. Gonna see this one tonight. Probably saw it when I was younger though, but i can't remember.
>pretty excited tbqh
Remington Model 1858
Merwin & Hulbert 4th model Frontier with the skull crusher grip
why anyone would willingly pick anything else is beyond me...
>>30191586
I feel like the modern day equivalent would be some due walking in and slapping together a bunch of glock. Or one of the G17 M&P slide swaps that I can't find pictures of any more

>>30191914
and you too >>30191426
For the gentlemen in the know, were the .44-40 and .45 Colt designed from the start with metal casings?
I haven't had much like finding out about the US switch from paper cartriges to metal, and then black to smokeless powder.
>>30191715
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!!
>>30191966
iirc they were originally copper but switched to brass later on
>>30191966
They were both metallic cases, yes.
The 44-40 was released with the Win. 1873 rifle.
>>30191585

Sure.
Should it be done?
No.

I'm decently big, I'd be willing to deal with it just to be that guy, besides I'm sure plates weigh more
1858 Remington converted, shooting .38 Longs
>>30192112
My 1851 navy because I'm used to how it shoots and when you use it correctly it kills things dead
>>30192122
I won't even go through the process of greentexting this. You are stupid to not know most things were ordered through your general store back then. Would they have been cheap? No. But if what you wanted was that then you'd probably pay the 2cpr.
>>30191532
engravings give you no tactical advantage
>>30191921
huh, never saw the other threads, sorry for beating the dead horse I guess, just thought it was odd that no one had posted it

couldn't agree more
>>30192159
I hope your snowflake pistol came with a case of ammo to hold you over until you order more for it from Imperial Germany, a pistol that in OP's outline was at most a year old and nobody had heard of yet. Likewise how about those stripper clips?
>>30192156
Classy as fuck but seriously, no Colt Dragoon?
No modified Colt Walker?
You don't like stoppan powah?
Not even a Remington 1858 with a few spare cylinders for that rapid reload?
>>30190982
A fucking M1895 or a Bulldog just for the lulz.
>>30192215
Mauser was more comfortable to hold compared to that abomination called the C 93
>>30192224
It's a sidearm. I only chose it because it's what I know/because I was a confederate officer in a previous life. I'd carry a lever action Winchester rifle for real use and pistol as backup
>>30192224
James Butler Hickok made his name droppin niggas like thay hot using a Colt 1851 Navy, shit worked senpai.
>>30192222
>stripper clips
>Not handloading the rounds in like a revolver
fyi moonclips weren't a thing till 1908
>>30192248
The American West was gun control as fuck in some places and at least with a pistol you can sneak that shit.
>>30192224
>Colt Dragoon?
>Colt Walker?
you have clearly never held or shot either.
they are heavier and more unbalanced than a full size S&W 500.
the '51 Navy is the best balanced and fastest handling revolver of its time.
>>30192260
>Hickok45's great great grandpa operated harder than you ever will
Two walkers on a saddle rig, a trapdoor Springfield carbine, and a couple 1851 Navy's carried Hickok style.
>>30192247
compared to a .45 Colt it's awkward and complex and weak as all fuck
>>30192247
It was and is still awkward as fuck to handle and has bad balance.
>>30192276
The Walker and Dragoon were the most powerful pistols in their day.
And no... the 1858 Remington is better than the 1851 Navy in every single way. With practice can swap cylinders almost as speedloading a modern revolver. No revolver in that century can even compare.
>>30192264
if you don't have any stripper clips on hand you have to manually hold the bolt open against spring tension as you load cartridges
>>30192290
>and weak as all fuck
>7.63x25 Mauser
>weak
>Falling for "muh stahpping powah" meme
>>30192306
sure they were powerful, but they were enormous
you have clearly never held or shot either
the 58 rem was not much better
>>30192311
This lol. Stopping power is a meme. Personally I carry downloaded .22 short.
>>30192269
In that case it sounds like several Derringers in true Trigun style would be best. But I'd take speed over power when there isn't any armor
>>30192325
This nigga kno wats up
>>30192311
>shits on 7.65 Borchardt
>muh 7.63 Mauser stoppan powah!
it was still a peashooter compared to the dozens of big bore revolvers that had been standard for decades
>>30192297
>Holding it with one hand
Not to mention, if it can take down savage African Tribesman and have both softpoints and hollowpoints available, I'm good to go
>>30192338
>What are softpoints
>What are hollowpoints
If it worked for the Boers, it works for me
>>30192351
So now you're claiming you can get custom loadings in a brand new caliber for a gun that was just released in Europe?
>>30192373
No, he's falsely equating boer dum-dum rounds with modern hollow-points.
>>30192373
Again
>What is handloading
>>30192162
say that to my face and not online
Can't be live one of you autistic haven't posted the nugget pistols yet.

All Russians secretly want to be cowboys, that's why Putin has a ranch
