what are your thoughts about the colt series 1851/1860/1861 vs the remington series 1858's as far as CAS? have you had much trigger time with the colt's? |

tgr has way more trigger time than I, but I have an 1858 and my brother has two 1860 colt replicas. One of his has the 8" barrel and one has a 5 1/2" barrel. I can shoot my 1858 remington way more accurately than I can shoot his. The rear sight for the colts is on the hammer and does not make as nice a sight picture, plus it starts moving as soon as the trigger is pulled. Some people can shoot them with amazing results. I am not one of them. However, I think the colts look cooler, which probably counts for something.

The Remington are the top of the food chain . Changing cylinder is faster and the gun don't shoot loose like the Colt . Which ever gun you get this ball seater is a must in my book . I get mine from Midway . I shot 1858 Remy in SASS for 1 year . I take the nipple out of 1 chamber and fill the chamber with RED RTV , that way I could see which cyl not being used . http://www.traditionsfirearms.com/eshop ... Code=A1309 |
