1851 ball and cap revolver replica manufactured by F.Lli Pietta. .44 cal.
Among many things, I’m fortunate to work for an employer that doesn’t look at guns as “evil objects.” The owner of the company has guns himself. It’s a nice arrangement. What I received for Christmas from him is evident of that. The 1851 ball and cap revolver is likely one of the more thoughtful gifts I’ve received in awhile.

Oh man! Looking forward to a range report. Awesome gift. Lately I’m getting more into the blackpowder shooting, and am thinking about picking up a cap and ball revolver myself.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too, Mike!
Good to hear from you. I’ve been meaning to get that Thompson Center black powder barrel so I can get started, but other fun projects have pulled me away. Maybe when I take this pistol to the range over the weekend, my priority for black powder will change.
It is fun- PITA to constantly clean, but great imes.
