Bill tells the story to Mr. Beauchamp because he was there when "Two Gun" Corky Corkran met his fate. No idea, not a movie I've seen. Supposedly they were packing these with up to 60gr. That's more than the 45-70 carbine cartridges. I can tell you 50gr is a hoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I.know a lot of them did blow up due to 19th century metallurgy and also panicked combatants loading the conicals backwards. I had the timing get off on a 1860 army, it exploded in my hands. That shoot will shake you up a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two of theses pistols I have pictured are often out of battery., or timing. It's duets a weak finger spring in the .45 Peacemaker and a poorly fitted barrel wedge in the 1860 army. Cleaning day for the ol timey guns. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1860 just needs a new wedge spring, simple fix and they're available . The hand spring breaking or weakening is so common I can't find a replacement from Uberti. I'm going to try a heat treatment on it and see if I can't breath some new life into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
