Beautiful to look at, form and finish!! Also my first black powder firearm. Was easy to load and accurate - fired at coffee can targets at 25 ft, 75 ft, and 100 ft. One miss high at 25 ft. Loading cylinders at one time (have 3) gives me 18 rounds and they are quickly changed out. (I was surprised) One more cylinder on order. I am much more than pleased with my 1858 "Star Wars" wheel firearm !!! Has rifleing so just can't call it a (wheel gun) Okie Mike
This would be a 5 star for sure if I wouldnt have had to file the rear sight down because there wasnt enough adjustment to sight in with. Now after filing it down this is the most accurate pistol I have. This thing shoots straighter and more accurately than my 22 pistol with the 9 1/2 inch barrel. This is so much fun to shoot and I plan on getting another cylinder when i can afford one. Red
The gun is everything I expected it to be and more! It shoots suprisingly accurate. I have only target shot it a this point, but I intend to hunt with it this fall!
This was my first blackpowder Revolver now i want others this is an excelent gun and the price is great it wont break the bank. You get a great bang for your buck it is an awsome gun
