I had one that was made by Uberti, like Steve Earle said “she shoots as fast as lightning but reloads a might slow”. The only problem I ever had was sometimes the recoil would jar a percussion cap loose and it would end up in the trigger mechanism creating a jam. It was a cool gun and weighed about 5lbs loaded so felt recoil wasn’t too bad.

That's cool...I've never fired a Walker.

I've got a Uberti made 1851 navy in 36 cal. It works very well and has kept it's timing. I like the black powder for the satisfying recoil, the smoke and the history.

The cleanup on the other hand...:(
