That is a really cool gun! I wish there were more modern single shots like this, so we Could customize them! uberti still makes rolling block pistols, copies of this design. i have one in 357 and they make them in 22 hornet and maybe other calibers-- beautifully balanced, elegant pistols. |

I'm having a fantasy of that gun having been built by Al Goerg at about the same time as he built "Rollo".

That pegs the cool meter for me ! When a boy, of towing red wagon size, the guy next door got me to help him clean out his basement. Payment was whatever fit in my red wagon. I came home with fishing gear, a Coleman lantern and a Remington #1 in .43 Spanish. It was longer than I was tall. Mom threw a fit ! Dad calmed her down, since no ammo was available. I sold it in my late teens to pay for non-res hunting licenses. KEEP IT ! stevemb

I was able to take it out a couple months ago. Had only a couple loads with me, but it was extremely accurate. The front sight needs to be quite a bit taller with the loads I was using, as it shot about 8" high at 25 yards. However, the groups were nearly one hole. Will have to make a taller front sight when I get time. The throat is very short. It wouldn't chamber some of the bullets I used. It requires a truncated cone or deep seating. Will be interesting to work up the sweet load for it. I have an old Ideal mold for the .44 Russian. I hope it shoots that bullet well. The mold and gun are close enough in age to need to stay together.  |

Don't mess with the sight. Just shoot farther The sight is pinned, so I can put the other back on as needed. With that said, trying it beyond 25 yards would be interesting. |
