My first BP gun
Date:
This is the first BP gun I purchased and I can tell you that it's a good one. The 8" barrel is a bit long, but after a while you got a feeling to it. I accessorized this gun with the .22LR Kirst converter and it fitted right into it.
You need a bit more time to clean the Brass parts, but no big deal to me.

Superb black powder revolver
Date:
I now have two 1858 New Army revolvers. One each Union and Confederate. Both are nicely made, strong revolvers. as a Civil War historian i can appreciate the history behind these guns.They are great dead-on shooters. I am very happy with Cabela's service and will definitely buy from them again.

Very good cap and ball pistol
Date:
Received this pistol 4 days after ordering, good service with the standard shipping rate. Intend to use it both as a "woods carry' gun and for Cowboy Action Shooting. Have been shooting it for 2 weeks. Very fun gun to shoot! Good accuracy, easily hits 6 inch target at 35 feet offhand, groups about 4 inches, probably a lot better from a rest. I wouldn't hunt squirrels with it, but for CAS or coyote duty it is great.
I let the brass discolor and take on the 'used' patina, looks very nice. I had read in a couple places that the brass frame will distort with a lot of use, but in asking I've found a lot of people in shooting forums who've put thousands of rounds through theirs and it still works great. I think the key is not to try and use the absolute maximum loads you can stuff in, but you don't have to use mouse loads, use moderate loads and it will last a long time.
I use number 10 caps, and .451 roundballs, although judging from the loading force needed with .451 balls either .454 or .457 balls would be ok too.

Awesome shooter
Date:
Bought this one and brass 1851 for decorative and shooting use. Very happy with both.
This one arrived flawless. Finish and fit were way better than I expected. While the '51 balances and feels a little better in my hand, the '58 is by far the better shooter. Groups tightly and consistently. Higher center of gravity than the Colt, and generally more mass in the hand probably helps me keep on target.
Using #10 CCI caps from a pen capper, They are snug but don't fall off. Started with 28 grains (Pyrodex P) and have worked down to 18 to match loads for the '51 without any decrease in accuracy at under 50 yards. Even at 28 gr. there was almost no noticeable recoil. Home cooked 451 ball and Hornady 454 shoot equally well. Homecooked lube and felt wads with cream of wheat filler give me good charge compression at the lighter powder loads.
I'm using Wonder lube to lube the cylinder pin and nipple threads and Ballistol to clean. This gun cleans a little quicker than the '51 even though it seems to shoot a little dirtier. The barrel to cylinder gap is larger than the '51's. Overal the '58 has fewer parts for a complete diss assembly. Have learned to relube the cylinder pin after about 4 cylinders to keep it sliding easily.
While both the brass '58 and the brass '51 are pretty decoration pieces, this is the one I'll shoot if anyone's watching since it makes me look gook on paper too.
