I didn’t realize preformed back powder charges are available for pistols! I grew up with measured powder charges, which was a mess to deal with. This is opening new purchasing options. 😉
I agree. Minimal experience with black powder. My dad loved the stuff. Could hit targets readily to one hundred yards. This would be nice to keep as a backup defense weapon as no laws prohibit ANYONE from owning them unlike other firearms.
The cows expressions at the end 😂 seem to be asking: "So whatcha doin' there, human? What's all that ruckus 🤨" Really interesting (but slow) reloading process 👍

Actually on these piettas, the engraving was done by laser engraving I beleive. They are not hand engraved as in the engravings you can see the etch marks. I have the same identical revolver.
Pyrodex does not chain fire, and the balls were crimped in. Caps are sure lock. Modern powder gun guys. Pay attention. Your life mite need to depend on it
Pyrodex does chainfire when balls don't seal correctly. If a primer can ignite pyrodex so will hot flames and gasses from another cylinder. Your life may depend on it
@@Jesuslovesyou929 Pyrodex does chain fire, don't say stuff online when you don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's less likely to than real gunpowder, but it does happen. And those balls were not crimped in. The chamber is the same diameter all the way through. That lead just plopped in there with room to spare dude.
Even with a good seat of the ball I had mine chain fire, was using Pyrodex as well. I take bore butter and run over the end cylinder to stop that, I watched something one time they explained why we have to use a bore butter or similar substance for chain firing and the diameter of the ball used now days is smaller than the original ball sizes used when these pistols were in service.

I've found a few Pietta revolvers that I really liked. It seems like they manufacturer many revolvers that didn't historically exist, including barrel lengths, hardware locations and even model names. I'm assuming that they pretty good if you want to get close to historic specs. The 1851 looks awesome, congrats.
Always a good idea to grease the chamber as well. After you have seated the ball - good call with lead ring left after ramming - fill the chamber flush to the cylinder with something like beeswax and olive oil mix. Fairly soft mix. Otherwise - breathe deeply and smell the history. Also, you won’t need a timer for action shooting. Just use a calendar. Keep your powder dry.😊
in what real life situation would you need more than one or two revolvers anyway? in practice instead of carrying multiple revolvers you just bring multiple people with you.
@@dolsopolartraveling in that time was pretty dangerous actually. You could have been attacked by outlaws on the way. Bringing a few more men with you is much more expensive than carrying extra one or two revolvers. This is why dual wielding revolvers were a thing in the past because revolvers took a lot of time reload they carried two or three for that reason
That is some really clean engraving on the gun. And today I learned that pre-formed black powder charges are a thing. Sadly, it doesn't seem to make the reloading go much faster...
Love the cows in the end of the clips also that ol gun criminals can own at home n used in self defense stand your ground law because it's considered antique
I've been familiarizing myself with all kinds of firearms for the past 16 years, including black powder ones; yet this is legit the first time I see a molded, cylindrical black powder pellet 😲 Since when has that been a thing??
Get rid of those pellets, and use loose powder. A near chamber full, maybe 1/8" -1/4" below the top of the cylinder, of Pyrodex RS or P works great in revolvers. Real black is also an option, but that is not as easily attainable for a lot of folks. Some shooters swear by Hodgdon 777, and it is fine also in revolvers. Not so great in side locks, as it does not ignite as easily. Then get a .454 or .457 round ball, those undersized balls falling into the chamber was scary, and they are in no way engaging the rifling. I smear lube, shortening mixed with beeswax, over the ball. Some prefer over powder wads, but I get the best results by using the method described. A full load or pyrodex will give you 850 fps if compressed tightly at loading. That is a real world result over the chrono using that shortened barrel and a proper sized round ball.
You're supposed to plug the bottoms of the chambers with grease after loading the balls. This helps keep moisture out and, more importantly, helps prevent chain-firing.
Three things I notice wrong here, one being the pistol is to Shiney to fire on a sunny day. Second is the balls are too loose for the cylinder, they should shave a ring . Third is no lube over the ball. The balls need lube so the barrel gets lubricated and doesn't leave lead fouling in the rifling...
Love the old cap and ball revolvers , bought an old colt .36 cal after Nam at a gun show in Ft Worth and it was extremely accurate. I really like this Marshall revolver and it's a beautiful gun but, like many the engraving is unnecessary... Love your video
A Very Cool Gun To Display (Probably Limited Edition) Still People Probably Won't Buy This To Use In A Fight But Maybe Collection Or A One Time Shooting/Standoff Would Be Used
Very nice pistol. You might consider slightly larger round balls. Ideally they should shave a lead ring off when rammed in the cylinder to get optimal performance.

Colonel: soldier war is over what's your status

It's a cap and ball black powder single action revolver. Tactical was never a option.
I’m not a black powder guy, so I found this vid fascinating. I never knew there was such a thing as preformed black powder cylinders.
I didn’t realize preformed back powder charges are available for pistols! I grew up with measured powder charges, which was a mess to deal with. This is opening new purchasing options. 😉
I didn’t know about it either, but that’s certainly more convenient than loose powder.

@@Raftjumper07I absolutely agree
It's a modern thing. It did not exist in period
It's a nice gun, I'll give you that. But the engraving gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever.
Wow man that metal gear reference makes me happy
Do you think that’s why they did it? 🥸
...it makes the gun look purdy, though, Arthur.😅
It gives you street cred
DAMMIT HE BEAT ME TOO IT

You need a bigger Dia ball.. should have a lead ring after pushing ball into cylinder.. im thinking. .454
I was thinking the same thing
Yup, his 44 balls are one size down from what a Pietta actually likes to take.
Other than that great gun.
MOO!

If the balls are just falling into the cylinder they are WAY too small. Those do not look like .454 round balls.
Pyrodex falling in...the balls had to be crimped in
Your life may depend on it.
Undersized balls will allow chainfire and wont seal against the rifling causing loss in velocity and accuracy. Your life might depend on it
@@Jesuslovesyou929At least two of the balls just FELL in.
@@Jesuslovesyou929Stop telling this lie Pyrodex will indeed chain fire, what you're preaching could get somebody hurt that doesn't know any better.
That gun is a piece of art. A lot of work went into the engravings. Nice.

Ни одна корова не пострадала!)
0:48 This bullet is clearly undersized, becareful of what you load if you don’t want a chain fire.
This will be my everyday carry
Undersized ball. Novice there
A beautiful gun made with people who took pride in their work. A 5 shot single action was ahead of its time back then.
You're getting zero resistance and no lead ring when seating each ball. You will get a chain fire and damage the gun

You should use a .457 lead round ball which will seal each chamber as you compress the ball into the chamber .

Onde que isso é relíquia? Se trata de uma réplica de fabricação moderna.
Good video and sorry for seeing it late
Very cool! Love the finish and engraving.
In practice, instead if reloading in fight, you'd take multiple loaded revolvers with you and switch between them as needed.
in what real life situation would you need more than one or two revolvers anyway? in practice instead of carrying multiple revolvers you just bring multiple people with you.
Потом договариваетесь с противником на счёт "Перерыва на кофе и перезарядку"...ну положим с 13.00 до 15.00 😂

Great video but bigger balls next time to small can cause sparks to fly into the cylinder causing multiple rounds to go off same time
Beautiful finish on that gun
Remember, charging with your saber is faster than reloading.
