The Colt Army pattern is probably one of best looking revolvers of its era, the Python of its day.
👍🤠
Or any era.
Your fluently and tone describing this weapon is very nice
Thank you Scott.
I didn't fully appreciate the size of this until the end of the video when you were displaying it with your left hand. It is very close to the .31 cal 1849 model or so it appears. Great looking firearm!
Excellent shooter too.
Had to come back and see this gorgeous revolver again.
Appreciated!
Such a pretty "Ping"...when it hits the target!!❤️❤️❤️
👍🤠
Looks like that was a really handy little revolver
Sweet shooter too.
Cleaning is the price we Black Gunpowder shooters pay for the fun, smoke, and fire of shooting these old fun guns. I am so motivated to get out as soon as possible and shoot a couple of my percussion revolvers.Thanks good information and good looking guns.
👍🤠
I carried one of these for many years as my “outdoor companion” and have always loved it… now that I have aged a bit and have become lazy… I now carry my Colt Army Special in .32 WCF only because I don’t have to shoot it and clean it to unload it.
👍🤠
always liked the contours of the old revolvers Uberti does a great job on these reproductions
Yes they do. The only thing that's missing is a Colt trademark stamped on it.
Good looking & fun. I’m jealous. And now I’m going to have to be jealous of Batjac too.
👍🤠

Uberti is top quality.
Nice looking firearm
Thank you Brian.
Excellent video! Love those black powder guns, keep em coming! You know, that Uberti/Colt looks a little small for you, I'm sure it would be a perfect fit for me, if you have a sudden urge to pass it on. LOL!
👍😉
She sure is purty, thx for the vid.
My pleasure.
Thanks 👍
My pleasure.
That is pretty!!
Agreed.
An very informative well done video on the Colt 1862 Pocket Police revolver.
The 1862 Pocket Navy and Police were Samuel Colt's last designed percussion revolvers before his death.
The 1862 Pocket Police is a mighty handsome and practical revolver design.
My 145 grain (380) diameter Universal bullets do work well to give the 1862 Pocket Police& Navy the ultimate in power factors.
I will be making and posting a video on my YT channel shortly with my Well Regulated Uberti 1862 Pocket Police.
Which has a taller Front sight deepened Rear Hammer sights Cap Post Block and Action Shield installed.
Safe Journeys.
True! Sam Colt's last hands on design. 👍🤠
Powder sweetness!
Yeah buddy!
Next black powder on my list is a shiny engraved revolver. Was just out shooting the double set triggered trapper 50cal this last weekend.
I've been wanting to take my .50 Trapper on a hog hunt.
@@Icarryone I didn't even hit the steel at 50 yards LoL.
What made those circle patterns on the silhouette target? Those don't look like typical ball ammo splatters
Those AR500 targets have been smacked with just about everything in my arsenal. The odd looking ones with a halo might be from some 10mm frangible ammo I've been testing. (Best guess.)
Nice looking gun,what are your thoughts on a rogers an spencer 44 by euroarms? An thank you for your amazing content I'm always learning something!
They're a well made revolver - particularly if you have large hands.
Mine has an incredibly stiff trigger pull, but I'm slowly and carefully working on it. It's built like a tank.
25 grains of real black powder? Can you use the same grain charge with Pyrodex and triple 7? Just curious because I have t seen any videos demonstrating different charges with different BP substitutes
I don't know about anyone else but I strictly measure by volume - not weight. Never had a problem using BP or a BP substitute.
Yes I understand that BP is measured by volume, that’s how i measure it for my pistols, I recently added this little 1862 to my collection but haven’t shot it yet, from what I’ve seen of others who have it they’ve been using 15 grains by volume of black powder, I think one or two I’ve seen have used 20 grains, but I haven’t seen anyone comment about using the same volume of black powder substitute only real black powder like Goex fffg, I was wondering if an equivalent amount in substitute can used without any issues in a smaller gun like this, I think it was Duelist1954 who used 20 grains of Goex in his with #10 caps, so my question would be is it perfectly fine to use a substitute like Pyrodex in equivalent amounts to real BP, or should I use slightly lower grain amount (by volume) I also have triple seven but have t tried it out yet, only Pyrodex, I heard others comment to use 15% less of triple 7 as it’s a little more potent than Pyrodex
To be more clear, I've never had an issue using the same amount of BP substitute as black powder - regardless of brand. I do use Tripple 7 and haven't personally noticed any perceivable difference.
Thanks for the reply, I like your video on this historical little 1862, I may start off with 20 grains of Pyrodex and a .375 round ball and see how it prints @ 20 feet or so away
To be fair black powder isn’t horribly corrosive but the fouling is hydroscopic.
Black powder residue is, in fact, a corrosive substance. The residue contains acidic sulfur-based compounds that expedite rust. That said, it's a good idea to properly clean them as soon as possible after shooting.
Wow. How the west was won 🇺🇸👍🏻 Such an iconic sidearm.
Like owning a little piece of history. 👍

I have one.
That's old can of goex powder👍
I like the old metal cans. Whenever I get a new (plastic) container of Goex, I transfer it into the old original tin.
I don t know about 25 grains of powder seems excessive.maybe 18
Twenty five grains of FFFg and a standard round ball shoot just fine. I load twenty grains when shooting conical bullets.
@@Icarryone would thar cylinder hold 28 or 30grains with a round ball?
@@roballen8431 Probably not. 25 grains and a tightly compressed ball barely clears the barrel throat. Any more than that and the projectile will protrude enough to lock-up the cylinder.
