My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
Loads a mite slow and i soon found out
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

They are a blast. The '51 Navy is a great one!

Congrats, the '51 is one that I want to replace some day. Basically a .38 spcl in the old days.

If you're talking about a loading stand, this is the best:

I've found that I can reload faster without using a stand. I'd reckon if accuracy was your thing, then the stand would be better, as you have better control of seating depth and pressure.

I shoot a '51 and a '60, and sometimes a Walker in Cowboy Action. I can have both recharged and ready to cap in less than 5 minutes. Not bragging either, lots of folks can do it quicker.

One thing I've learned about percussion guns, if you touch one off at H&H or Heartland, everyone else notices!
