COLT WALKER SIGNATURE SERIES REVOLVER

These are photos of my third generation Colt Walker, Signature Series, revolver with accessories I purchased in 1999. Perhaps others, with modern reproduction percussion firearms, will also post pictures for the rest of us to enjoy.

    Nice Walker. I have the same gun without the accessories. Bought it to shoot. Waited too long to shoot it and now it is worth too much to shoot. Maybe I should shoot it anyway? Would be fun. Have a cheaper Walker Repo that I do shoot and it is a ball. 60 grains of black and a round ball are potent at handgun range!

    Her's my 61 Navy.

    Like slumlord, I bought it to shoot. My first blackpowder gun. And the modern guns keep pushing it to the back of the safe.
    I have the Lyman blackpowder book and am confident I know what I'm doing. Just keep putting it off. [B)]
    One of these days.

    If you guys don't have it, you should get a copy of Dennis Russell's
    "Percussion Colt Revolvers, The Second Generation, Collectors Handbook & Price Guide #6" It is the "Bible" for both 2nd and 3rd gen (Signature Series). It lists and discusses all models and variations of both generations plus spare parts and accessories.

    This is my limited edition, matching serial numbers, set of North American Arms Mini and Super Companion .22 caliber cap and ball revolvers I purchased in 1997. They are stainless steel with selective gold plating.

    One of the smallest percussion pistols I own is the .22 caliber Freedom Arms cap & ball mini revolver. It is shown, for comparison, with my Colt Signature Series Walker.

    Cap and ball porn ...
    I'd push a green-eyed redhead out of my lap to cross the room and gawk at that stainless steel 1851 Navy.
    Why no one is making stainless steel 1851, 1860 and 1861 Colts today is beyond me.

    This is the April 1999 Sportsman's Guide advertisement I purchased my Colt Signature Series Walker from. The rest of the pictures are from the 2000 Colt Blackpowder Company catalogue, regarding the two available Walker models with prices, and the presentation case and loading tools, with prices, I bought from them.

    Does the reloading arm ever fall when you shoot the Walkers, I always wondered what keep them up when firing as most of the other cap and ball guns I see have a latch of some sort.
    I think they are great, please keep putting pictures up there.

    Really a shame, i would love a stainless 1860 Army. But i picked up a pair of 1862 Sherrif's (i think, 5 shot .36's that look like short 1860's, did i get that right?) on auction side for $350, to console myself. And Armi San Marco may have made a few back in their day.

    A 5 shot .36 cal round barreled Colt you describe would be an 1862 Pocket Police. Sweet little shooters.

    Here's my latest acquisition. Factory engraved 3rd Model Dragoon and '51 Navy in Colt custom shop case.

    Man, am I jealous! I thought I was cool with my Remington New Army and Colt Navy revolvers.

    I can't afford those wonderful Colts, but Uberti certainly makes some nice repros. They make a very nice stainless 1858 New Army revolver - think that will be my next purchase.
