Dear Guys! Many thanks for the shout out! I am really proud you use our boxes! I am honored! :)

3rd with a cap and ball revolver.... He legit gives depression to other contestants

Karl, you WOULD bring a percussion revolver to the backup gun match

I love all of InRange's content, but historical topics like this are my favorite. A series looking at the practical capability of cap'n'balls is simply nirvana. ^_^

Karl: *i hand rolled these myself* Me: pass that shit this way my dude

Capandball has a video up on how to make paper cartridges. Very helpful. Plus I love the 1862.

Cowboy Karl might be my favorite Karl. Looking sharp!

Ian: Hey dudes and dudettes! B) Karl: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW! :D Damn, this back-up pistol match is really allows you to do what we really love InRange for. Keep up the great work. :D

I fondly remember modeling this (and a ton of other Civil War-era guns) for the 1866 Western mod for Mount&Blade nearly 10 years ago. I think I modeled something like 40 or 50 guns by the end of it. The game felt like a gun museum.

"I fired 25 rounds today and suffered from no malfunctions or jams" Meanwhile in Red Dead: 5,000+ rounds and the gun only has a slight accuracy loss

Can't help but appreciate how karl gets in character with his clothing. Really adds to the whole video.

Put a mini red dot on it.

I bought a 1862 a few month ago. I wanted one for a long time but those are hard to find in France. And since I received it, capandball released it's cartridge maker, Mike Beliveau (Duelist1954) uploaded a video on the 1862 explaining step by step how to improve the action and avoid cap jam by polishing the hammer. And today InRangeTV release this video! I love this time line!

Off-topic but love the shirt.

I remember when I was young a Gunsmoke episode referred to someone who had an old paper cartridge gun. I couldn’t imagine a paper cartridge since I had only been exposed to modern guns.

I never knew how cap and ball revolvers were loaded before. That was cool to learn.

Good stuff! We've seen old French gats at the backup gun match with Ian, now we get to see old west gats with Karl, can't wait for more.

When John wesley Haden was arrested on a train in Florida in 1878 he was armed with a 1860 Army percussion revolver.

Keep it up!!!! I'm super excited to see more of this era.

Absolute pleasure to see an 1862 Colt Police being run thru self defense paces with modern guns and holding its own very well against modern handguns. Really like and respect your channel, and have subscribed. Appreciate all the historic and modern stuff you evaluate. But I have to say seeing a cap and ball revolver being used seriously is the icing on the cake that that makes everything better!

Thanks for sharing Karl looking forward to seeing more of this content in the future.

Looking forward to seeing future segments like this. Thanks.

I’m genuinely so excited for this content. Can’t wait to see more

Definitely loving all the old west content, and seeing old guns run like this is great, getting to see things one usually only finds in a book! Looking forward to the rest of this series!!

I really like this idea for a video series, Karl! Keep them going!

Very much looking forward to this series

Outstanding! I'm absolutely stoked to see more content like this. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic video. Looking forward to the upcoming set of cap and ball videos.

Great video. I've always liked the look of the old percussion revolvers. This makes me want to get into them. Thanks Karl.

Thank you for this article and the tips!

Extremely interesting in my opinion. I would absolutely love to see more videos like this. Thank you.

Beautiful little blaster! It could still be a lifesaver. This appears to be the same match where Ian ran the COP 357. This old-tech revolver ran rings around the much later -design gun!

Really looking forward to the series of videos.

I'm really looking forward to this series of videos!

Fantastic video! Can’t wait for the next one.

So refreshing to get a glimpse of history from a passionate/honest educator. And this... on a topic we all love. Thanks Karl. You bring it all to life.

I have a similar Colt reproduction that I've been shooting for decades. It was fun when I was 12 years old and still is fun to shoot! Really enjoy how you mix the old and new in your videos!

Very informative Karl! Thanks so much. You have whetted my appetite with content like this and your Old West Vignettes, subjects that I had little interest in before! More please in 2020! Rich.

Was looking into trying cap and ball revolvers. Thank you Karl for the information on how to make it more reliable and showing how fun it would be to shoot these replicas of older firearms.

Excellent video, very much looking forward to seeing more!

Great information, love cap & ball revolvers. Can’t wait to see more.

This might be my very favorite BP pistol ! Thanks for showcasing it ! Subscribed! !

Love it. Great tip on the Hammer bounce, I finally know why percussion caps fall into the trigger mechanism.

Many thanks for the video! Looking forward to the next one featuring C&P revolvers.

I watched this video 3 years ago, and I'm back. Very well paced, entertaining and informative video. And such a sexy little pistol. Thank you

Very interesting content Karl. Thank you.

the info on the ammo kits and cones was very helpful.

Very good advice on preventing cap jams. Well said.

Fantastic video! Please keep these coming.

Love it! Definitely want to see more. Thanks for the video.

Honest to god, this is the content I've been waiting for... I love cap and ball/conversion revolvers and there is not near enough content on KZfaq for them!

Thanks for this video Karl, I'm looking forward to seeing this type of firearm in a competitive environment

This is freaking awesome! Some gun channels won’t do videos of cartridge revolvers, and you do cap and ball. This kinda shit is why I’m subscribed.

I think the content of this video is awesome. Have not seen BP practical shooting on any other channel. Please keep on with this content.

This is so cool, I am really excited to see more of these

I love seeing these old historic firearms being used, I find the far more interesting than modern 9mm handguns and AR15 variants where once you have seen one you have seen them all.

Looking forward to this series of vids.

JUST discovered this ! Wow - Thanks !

Thank you! I have been having some problems with my uberti 1951 this vid just about solves all of them.

You handed that revolver like a pro, Karl. Very excited for the new video series. I like the idea of a practical, 2GACM for guns of the old west.

Outstanding! I really enjoyed the episode.

Dope. I love this. Been thinking about getting the black powder cylinder for my Uberti 1858 new army conversion.

A perfect video since I want to get a 1862 Police ASAP! From all I gathered it’s a great fun and historical piece. Black powder is a fine thing as well. Kind Thanks and Good Shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Really enjoyed this video. Cheers!

I did not know anyone was producing this revolver. Neat. I might consider getting one. Thanks for the tip on slixprings. I never heard of them before, but consolidating my caps all to one type and the vent hole sounds like great ideas.

Awesome content. This is the match footage we need

Great video. I really enjoyed it.

This was really interesting! I'm glad you're going to be doing more black powder stuff.

The other day I was wondering why no one made paper cartridges for these old things, glad to see someone else thought of that too.

That was very enjoyable Karl. My next purchases are going to be a pair of those for my twin daughters! I can't wait for the next video!!

Gave me a chuckle at cap jams becoming almost a thing of the past

Thank you. Very informative. I really enjoy the history lesson and debunking the myths and lore that clouds the past.

Yeah please keep this series going

I'd love to see more civil war / old west stuff, I think your videos about lever guns are some of your best.

This was neat, I look forward to the other content you have coming up. My favorite cap n ball revolver is the 1860 Army, so well balanced and you still get 6 .44s.

I've done "rake" modifications to several of my percussion Colt replicas and have had no cap jams with those. This modification can take several forms, but generally provides a blocking pin that prevents the burst cap fragments from entering the hammer channel when the hammer is cocked. Only the open-top percussion revolvers seem to have this problem. But cap jams were a very common problem during the percussion era as well as today. The fabrication of the Uberti and Pietta replicas is in many ways to a higher standard than the originals, as a comparison will attest. The force of the mainspring isn't a factor generally, as the problem occurs when the hammer is cocked for the next shot and the loose cap falls into the hammer channel. Also, even the original 19th century caps were sealed and very waterproof. I personally have tested this by submerging modern caps in water for long periods. Misfires of caps are generally due to the cones being seated too far into the cylinder for proper hammer impact.

First of all, I got to say, wow! so excited to see more black powder content, I am a huge black powder nut.. the first gun I ever purchased was a Uberti 1860 Army w/ fluted cylinder.. scoured the internet and bought every grease, oil, solvent, wad and accessory you could buy from powder flasks to measurers, different powders, caps, balls, and eventually I came across the slix-shot cones. Still have cap jams. Could never figure out why, and I think it's because of my usual range load of 40-45 grains of 777. I've only just recently transitioned to real black powder, softer shooting of course, but the whole idea of the hammer flying back is amazing, I really do thing that could be the problem, and my heavy charges of course.. I will try lighter loads and see if the gun operates more smoothly. I was amazed watching you smoothly transition from target to target, and my first thought was "what? no cap jams?" I think you truly, truly showed how these pistols were quite formidable, even back then. Love the channel and I am really looking forward to the 1860 content.. I think it would be interesting if you did some ballistic data with tradition conical pistol projectiles and round balls..

Great video :) waiting for more

I found this very interesting. I'm not a black powder shooter, so the video gives me some insight into as aspect of shooting that I don't know much about. And that's great!

Does anyone else think Karl looks like an NPC in a Windows 98 era point and click adventure at the end of the vid? This is really awesome content, Karl! Glad you are able to make use of the backup gun match in your own way

I'm going to love this series.

I love the old west stuff I'm going to have to get some of those boxes for charges that's really neat!

I grew up on cap and ball Colt revolvers, your insight is spot on! If you understand the guns and how they work, they are very reliable and can be quite effective in the hands of someone schooled in their use.

i love it. this is a great idea for a series. (also.... write your book on this).

Great job. I look forward to more like this.

Nice demo, Karl

The biggest thing I have happen is caps falling off when another was shot thank you for giving me a way to fix that.

Big thumbs up on this subject. Would like a word or two on the holster.

I have to say 👍👍 for this kind of content. Looking forward to more.

I love Old West style weapons. I'm very much looking forward to the future episodes you mentioned.

*Easily the best looking aesthetically of the period percussion revolvers.*

Keep up the mid-late 1800's content, Karl. Good stuff.

I do IDPA, USPSA and steel challenge as well as some other shooting sports. In fact, right now I'm killing about an hour before I leave to drive to my weekly USPSA league lol. I also do some black powder stuff. I really enjoyed this video and would live to see more. Thanks, enjoy all your content.

You are the best gun channel on KZfaq

Sweet! Been looking forward for some blackpowder revolvers on your channel:)

Loving the historic west content! Also diggin that coat/shirt you're wearing Karl. Where'd ya get that? Keep up the good work!

Well done sir, well done.

Excellent. Can't wait for more

I have trouble getting handguns so I use a rem 1858 new army for self defense. I use 40grs of 777 and it's very hot load however. The design of the rem doesn't jam on caps much I've found even if they blow apart. They don't jam the gun. It's been very reliable with cci 11 caps recently I got a cartridge conversion for it. I used it for yrs as cap and ball tho and it's very effective but does take some know how! Love these old guns looking forward to seeing the rest!

Neat video! Looking forward to the coming videos. Are you going to do a video on the Big Iron (Colt walker)?
