Colt 1892
« on: July 06, 2010, 06:37:02 PM »
I just received a Colt 1892 Army and Navy DA revolver. It is actually a 1901 Model, though the barrel and crane and cylinder are from a later model as they have a 1905 patent date. The cylinder is bored straight through, so I can fit 38 SPL cases. I test fired it with some hollow based 38LC I had bought a while back from River Junction and it shoots pretty good. I have about 3000 Speer hollow base wadcutters that I'm thinking of loading with 3FG Pinnacle (say 15 grains) and the HBWC in 38 Spl. cases. What do you think about this. I'm waiting to find some 38LC brass.

I've got the M1903 model, chambered in .38 spl.  Accurate, fun to shoot.  (use it in GAF shooting)  Have fun with it.
Civilize them with a Krag . . .
