I have an 1851 Navy by Armi San Paolo made in 1970. Beautiful 1860 Army, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I'm still impressed by the quality of this pistol - I think it rivals or is even better than what Pietta and Uberti are putting out now. Hope you like your 1851 as much as I like my 1860!
@@johnzx6r oh yes, I have put a lot of round balls through her and she's still like new. I love it.
Great 1 hand shooting! Gun is beautiful and accurate! Nice video!
Thank you! I do like this revolver. I'm glad I found it!
Mosby rangers in VA. and the bushwhackers in MO. and KY. during the war between the states loved to use the 1860 colt and most guys would carry a couple of them on their persons in a sash plus a couple on their mounts in saddle holsters along with double barreled 12 gauge percussion shotguns loaded with .32 caliber balls for buckshot and long razor sharp Bowie knives or Arkansas tooth picks
That's a lot of firepower at hand - I'd say they were pretty well set for whatever may have come their way!
Mosby’s rangers never actually surrendered. They just disbanded before the war between the states ended and went back to their farms. No federal authorities really knew for certain who most of them were
I’ve got an Armi San Pablo 1860, it’s my favorite.
If you will take a fine stone, and hone the face of the hammer, and defang the two sharp corners at the bottom of the hammer face, it will help alleviate some of the cap hangups
Great day on the range. Ya can't beat that.
It was a great day. Not only did I get to shoot a really nice revolver, but it was also one of those very rare occasions where I had the whole place to myself!
Very good looking revolver. In the old 1930's B westerns the actors were taught by actual old west cowboys. After pulling the trigger they would bend the elbow, pointing the weapon straight up and then roll the hammer back. Yes, they were shooting cartridges but, this raising of the revolver before cocking was a hold over from cap and ball. Pointing up and then pulling the hammer would allow the spent cap to fall out and not jam the cylinder. Does it work every time? Nope. A lot of the time? Eh...depends on the gun. Good public range handgun practice? Well, I'd save it for private ranges... just saying. Again, handsome weapon.
That technique let's caps fall down into the frame and locks up the hammer..best to rotate sideways to clock the gun
Are you sure this isn’t an Armi San Marco…? I just got one
This one is an Armi San Paolo. They and Armi San Marco both operated around the same time, and both making reproduction revolvers, but as far as I know there was no relation between the two, other than having similar names.
@@johnzx6r ok thanks! Mine is from 1979 and wondering how it will shoot
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 Should shoot very well. ASM revolvers were generally pretty good, especially the earlier ones like yours.
@@johnzx6r Thanks. Unfortunately (and I wish I’d done this as I was buying it at the gun show) I can see a sliver of daylight at the BOTTOM of the forcing cone, while the top of the forcing cone is perfect and tight… which makes me wonder why this is and the wear that’s taken place over 44 years. I may do a video on this gun!
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 I wouldn't worry too much about the gap - I'm sure it will shoot just fine. You should do a video - I always like to see older percussion revolvers in action!
Would the armi san Paolo frame work for the 1851 navy revolver CVA.
