My original Colts that I used are in a museum in Savannah, Tennessee; 1860 Army and 1850 Navy...I quit using them when good sense intervened. I do shoot an original Colt 1860 Army that was made by Colt here in the US in 1960. It is made very well and is far superior to the Italian Colts, even though they are made with the same machines. I’ve stocked up on caps and powder as the black powder weapons are not registered and there is no paperwork with them. Black powder is becoming hard to come by as the requirements for storage by the sellers have become strict. I have a Whitworth with the hexagonal bullet..I have the molds and patterns for the hexagonal patches. The ballistics for the Whitworth are the roughly the same as the .306. My Colt 1911’s are all fifty years or older and quite functional. OTOH I have a Kimber Concealed 1911 and a full sized Kimber 1911 and a Para Ordinance. I wish I could post pictures.
