[QUOTE="Lotahp1, post: 1102589, member: 10998"] OK I have done a little research and believe I have found out I have a 1883 Riechs Revolver. My Granddad always told me it was a 44 s&w Russian but think it is a 10.6mm to be exact but can shoot 44 S&W Russian. Here lies my first question. Is 44 S&W Russian a blackpowder round? I think 10.6mm is. Please tell me more about this gun. value? Not for sale. Is part of my not for sale collection from my Granddad. I would like to shoot it in rememberance of my Granddad a few times a year but want to be sure on ammo etc. I think he has shot it as we always bought 44 S&W Russian ammo at gunshows when we saw it. In fact I bought 5 loose rounds at the Wannamacher gun show along with some 25-20 for another of his guns. I have also found out tonight that a couple of companies still make ammo and its not very expensive in the grand scheme of things and how many times I want to shoot. Just want more info and be sure of ammo before I go to range with it. Thanks for all info, Kris [/QUOTE]
