In this video I’ll be shooting Uberti’s copy of the Leech & Rigdon revolver made for the Confederate Army.
This is a .36 caliber cap & ball revolver that was made by one of the Confederacy’s most successful gun makers. I’ll give you the history of this fine gun, and we’ll do some shooting.

@@ardshielcomplex8917 "The Constitution requires an adoption in toto, and for ever. It has been so adopted by the other states. An adoption for a limited time would be as a defective as an adoption of some of the articles only. This idea of [states] reserving the right to withdraw was started at Richmond and considered as a conditional ratification which was itself considered as worse than a rejection." - James Madison, 1788

​@@DeadenerJames Madison may be the "Father of the Constitution" but outside the Constitution his word is just another opinion. The Supremacy Clause (Art.6 Clause 2) says the Constitution and pursuant federal laws and treaties are the Supreme Law of the Law. Art.1, Sec.10 lists three Clause restricting the States and secession is not listed as a restriction. Amendments 9 and 10 say that the all powers not listed or restricted in the Constitution are retained by the States and/or the people. In 1869, the Reconstruction SCOTUS needed to rule against the Confederate State of Texas in Texas v White. To get the ruling they wanted, secession had to be illegal. So, they made secession illegal by unconstitutional means. They took PERPETUAL UNION from the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, took TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION, from the Constitution's Preamble, and added INDISSOLUBLE from Washington's Farewell Address and ruled PERPETUAL UNION + TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION + INDISSOLUBLE = Secession is illegal! Here's what they said: "The Union of the States never was a purely artificial and arbitrary relation. It began among the Colonies, and grew out of common origin, mutual sympathies, kindred principles, similar interests, and geographical relations. It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war, and received definite form and character and sanction from the ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. By these, the Union was solemnly declared to "be PERPETUAL". And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained "TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION". It is difficult to convey the idea of INDISSOLUBLE unity more clearly than by these words. What can be INDISSOLUBLE if a PERPETUAL UNION, made more perfect, is not?" Not only did SCOTUS make their own ruling out of thin air, they violated the Constitution to do it. Art.1 Sec 9 lists restrictions on the federal government. One restriction is making EX POST FACTO laws. Ex post facto is creating a law AFTER THE FACT (or ex post facto in Latin). The government can't make secession illegal AFTER THE FACT they already seceded AND they can't be punished for it!

As someone who's ancestors include a Texas Confederate cavalry veteran, I find Confederate firearms, especially revolvers, very interesting. I often wonder what my ancestor carried in the 28th Texas Confederate Cavalry, I'd like to think it was a Dance Brothers, but that's because it's my favorite Confederate revolver and I'm a native Texan.

Thanks for all you do, Mike. You are one of the few to really cover Black Powder in all aspects. I have loaded BP cap'n ball and cartridges a little over the years. My latest project is making 38 S&W BP cartridges for my S&W top-break and Remington single action. I have long fingers, and I hate is getting my knuckles whacked by the trigger guard in recoil. Recently test firing my BP reloads vs a Remington factory 38 S&W (with smokeless powder), I realized that the BP cartridges do not whack my knuckles like the smokeless ones do. Seems the recoil impulse is a lot more spread out for the BP loads. Also, a nice boom rather than a crack! Looks like I'll be reloading more Black Powder now, in spite of more cleaning needed.

I would like to see a video that investigates the purchasing arrangements between the various importers (Midway USA, Cabelas, Cimerron, Taylors, Dixie Gun Works, etc.). Are they all getting the same stuff, or are certain importers buying/specifying special treatment with the guns they buy? There seems to be a wide variation in price. I suspect that certain vendors are buying higher grades of quality. If so, it would justify the price at some of the higher-demanding importers.

Mine was not In shootable condition. But i brought it back to shootable condition. Just for the chance to shoot it. And yes it's Twisted iron.

@@snappers_antique_firearms Yeah stretching kills the brass upper frames, from factory they were good for a few thousand rounds and that was more than good enough for the purpose. It kicks harder because it isn't made out of the denser alloys available today, but sad to say you would have to legitimately measure FPS vs replica to be believed on it hitting harder though (not trying to bash you, just saying it for what it is). There's a few more shootable G&G's around the world, but general consensus is that hardly any of them are in shooting condition.

It wasn't just the kick that shocked me it was the I could shoot a Target 3 or 4 times with a 51 navy and then if I shoot that Target with the Griswold and Gunnison it would fall over. Or hit with much more violence to the Target. But being same loads that dos not make since. I will be picking up a chronograph soon.

Great video, I am curious about how much the colt 3rd model dragoon was used by both sides during the Civil War. A video on that would be great.

Good video Mike, and I look forward to the upcoming confederate series. Also I noticed you were using some RWS caps, not to knock US caps but I find them a more consistent product and buy them whenever available.

"When the cap goes off but doesn't ignite the charge, give it a minute"...I had a good reminder of that just yesterday: I was testing a small sample from a freshly milled batch of blackpowder, it ignited fast, and appeared to consume all of the powder but when I reviewed the high-speed footage I noticed that, a full 2.5 seconds after the charge had been consumed, there was another flash from a small bit of powder about 6" away from where the test sample had been. There were no embers to be seen anywhere but there was something, so be aware and wait.
