Members JWheeler331 Posted June 21, 2023 Members Report Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Pietta has sent me the Brotherhood Of The Traveling 1858 revolver to test out for a month. If you are not familar with this revolver, Pietta is sending the revolver in a nice wooden box along with a journal for the tester to write notes about their experience with the gun, words of wisdom, scripture or just whatever the person wants. Then when their month is up the gun travels on to the next person who will then spend a month with the revolver. Well, once I got the revolver in the first thing I did was make a holster that I am planning on sending with the revolver to the next person. Edited June 21, 2023 by JWheeler331 Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 21, 2023 CFM Report Posted June 21, 2023 dang nice thing you got into there how did you get so lucky? !! the holster is a standout for sure and looks great with it.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Thanks. I am not sure what their criteria is for selecting the next person but it could be because of either my IG page which is mostly cowboy gun related or my YT account which is largely the same. Thanks for the comment on the holster. Edited June 21, 2023 by JWheeler331 Quote
Members dikman Posted June 21, 2023 Members Report Posted June 21, 2023 An interesting concept by Pietta. That revolver has a LOT of engraving, and yes, the holster looks great, simple but with just a touch of embellishment (and period-correct).

Members bladegrinder Posted June 22, 2023 Members Report Posted June 22, 2023 That holster looks great! I read about that gun on a muzzleloader forum last week, it's a beauty. Quote
Members Dwight Posted June 22, 2023 Members Report Posted June 22, 2023 Good looking gun . . . holster certainly is great as well. I'd love to have one like that with one change . . . redrill the cylinder to accept .45LC Just not a black powder fan. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members bladegrinder Posted June 22, 2023 Members Report Posted June 22, 2023 Certain cap and ball revolvers will take conversion cylinders. I have a Ruger old army that will take a .45 LC cylinder, I don’t have one though. I like my cap and ball guns! Quote
rktaylor Posted June 22, 2023 Report Posted June 22, 2023 That's a really nice pistol and the holster is classy. At the risk of being 'that guy' I would offer that matching the pattern on the pistol with simple swivel knife cuts on the holster would be really cool. You have it for a month ... Just saying Randy Quote

One of the guys who used this one before me talks in the journal about using his conversion cylinder in it. Quote

Just saying Randy I guess that would be pretty cool. I may think on it and if I have the time......maybe I will. On 6/22/2023 at 7:58 PM, Hags said: Very nice J! Thank you Hags. Quote
