New appreciation for the pepper box revolver

An Uberti 1851 Navy in .36 is an excellent first cap and ball revolver. I highly recommend you pick one up. Replace the factory nipples with Slix-shot and it’s 95%+ reliable.

I have to say I’d pick it over a pepperbox, but as a history guy myselfi definitely appreciate them due to the technology progression of the time.

fun gun... when i was much younger i would spend a few hours shooting it, lot's of fun. had a chain fire once after some extensive shooting, should have cleaned it a little better a little sooner. made some noise and a wicked recoil but no harm to me or the gun...
