My latest gun show find.
Spanish made copy. 45 cal. Unfired. $60.
Always wanted one of these.
Anyone have load suggestions?

Sweet. I have no advice on loads, but that is one cool looking little devil.

I have two of the little darlings. 20 grains of 3f works in one the other won't fire with less than 30 grains. .440 round ball and a 10 linen patch loads easily with just a short starter. They make plenty of noise and smoke. Don't expect accuracy at any thing longer than poker table distance.

Those are neat little guns; and for $60!

Great guns! They can drop a Crow on the run at 100 yds! (seen Chuck do it in the Mountain Men)

Chuck parted the Red Sea too. I ain't gonna try to compete with him. ??

Hopefully it is no longer unfired and you have started to collect $120 of fun from your pistol.
Enjoy
