ZHoovie ZHoovie i went back to cap guns for a while but that wasn’t far enough backward. Flintlocks are where it’s at for me.

The flintlock pic does have my sheathed modern repro of an 18th century French boucheron from New France.

She was a beauty, once in a lifetime dog I and others say. Unfortunately we lost her to cancer back in December. That photo is from last winter and was the second last (of many) deer we hunted together.

By a twist of fate, a few months ago a bloke that bought her son off me called and said he could no longer have him and asked if I wanted him. So now we have a piece of her in the family still which is nice.

Re-visiting this because you piqued my curiosity. I'm going to hazard a guess that this little pistol is a .32 cal since I shooting.measured the barrel at .344 and .351. It is pretty heavily corroded.

Also, another correction, the Pietta Navy I mentioned is a .36 cal. Saving for some photos later on.

I love guns, but my true mistress is knives.

Here's a Pietta Navy .36 cal. I've had for years. I've target shot with it enough to know how difficult it is to get an accurate shot especially at any distance, compare to contemporary equipment. Fun as hell though, but slow to reload. The fit and finish is excellent. Nearly as good as the Texas Camp Knife I still have pinch myself that was fortunate enough to acquire.IMG_6634.jpeg
 
My first Pre-64, a 30-06, acquired used 30 years ago with a Gerber Sportsman I bought in the 1980’s. I load 180 grain Interlocks for this rifle, a bit heavy for the southeast but game normally drops where it was hit with that round and I get minimal meat damage. Shot this buck with it last fall. OH

Bruce, I have the exact same revolver, really like the .41 mag. Here's a pair (S&W 57 and Camillus 88), both of which were born during the bicentennial of 1976.

I have a 57 set up for hunting. Scoped, eyes not what they once were, and sling for carrying.
All these 41's being shown has a way of making a fellow want to make a range trip
