A Colt Walker is a big 44 caliber cap and ball revolver that can be charged w/60 grains of black powder. I was most definitely not the first six-shooter. They are pretty scarce. I had a real nice Uberti replica and can’t remember what happened to it. I think I traded it for something.
Although the actual number for ‘enough’ is up for debate.

Yep. That would be the Colt Patterson.

There are so many different classes of firearm, there’s room for several Official State Handguns. Think of all the combinations of black powder or smokeless, rim fire or center fire, revolver or semi-auto (or bolt), single action or double action, hammer fired or striker fired.
We could have all kinds of fun with this!

In MD (at least before I escaped) a cap-and-ball wasn’t considered a firearm – for their nazi purposes.

Not to be outdone:
In February 2016, the Barrett M82 .50 caliber anti-materiel rifle was declared the official rifle of Tennessee.
That Walker is a heavy hitter. I think they had a problem with chain firing. The replica one I had was really neat, I must have gotten something really nice for it. I only had it a short time. IIRC, the guy that got it made a couple cartridge conversion cylinders for it that screwed together and had six firing pins in the cylinder and he could reload it pretty fast.

I spent the afternoon today at the range sighting in a new red dot on my suppressed 300 Blackout AR-15. Good times!
Hambone, that sounds like time well spent. I have an AR15 300 Blackout and several hundred rounds of sub sonic ammo. I bought the ammo because when Trump went into office there was a lot of talk that he would remove the Federal Registration on suppressors. I didn’t want to wait a year for paperwork, so now I sit with no suppressor, but a fair amount of sub sonic ammo. Ya live, and ya learn.

My gunsmith told me today that Texas might pass a law soon allowing suppressors to be sold in Texas without a federal tax stamp as long as the suppressor is made in Texas and not taken out of Texas.
It was the gun of choice for US soldiers during the Mexican American war.
It’ll be the AR-15 in THIS iteration, but a solid historical choice, with good provenance. 😎
Great choice.
Texas became a state in 1845, 1847 6 shooter will represent.
Got to hold on to history before it is all rewritten.
Colt Walker WAS NOT America’s first six shooter
God Bless Texas.

Nobody needs more than a five-shooter.

Just an old inspirational message.
The fight isn’t over.

I’ll be signing more pro-gun laws real soon.
