Single Action Sixguns

I have always preferred singleaction sixguns. Even as a little boy. I am sure that my Dad had something to do with it. I was 4 years old in this photo.

The pistol is an original Civil War 1858 Remington .44 cap and ball sixgun.

I have owned and shot doubleactions and at the present time actually have a couple. I have also owned and shot semi-automatic guns and you could probably find a few around my place. However the singleaction is the main one you would see.

The only single shot pistol I ever owned was a .22. I had several that belonged to friends that I used for awhile. I as never taken with them.

Dominator in .44 Magnum.

It has been almost 79 years from that photo of me with the Remington cap and ball and the single action is still my preferred gun. I carry one most all the time.

I ain't saying the single action is better. I am saying, they are what I prefer.
