new guy

hi every one.
im new on here so i thought id introduce myself first.
my names simon and i make western gunrigs so have a bit of a blank firer/replica collection but saw some pfc revolvers and decided i want one,thgen found this forum.
so ill be keeping an eye on the for sale section for a colt peacemaker ( not the bisley type but the older 45 type).
been checking out the vids and think that pfc are more fun than blanks.
anyway....howdy

Welcome to the forum Simon

It's always a pleasure to welcome new members. I am confident you'll find plenty of help, advice and friendly discussion here

As you've realised, PFC cap firing replica pistols do have certain advantages over Blank Firers, the main one being noise levels. You can fire the PFC type indoors without scaring your neighbours silly. You couldn't do that with a Blank Firer

The only disadvantage really is the absolute necessity to clean both gun and particularly the re-useable cartridges after use. Keeping the cartridges clean will keep them useable almost indefnately but leaving them dirty will have them corroded in no time
There's plenty of Cleaning information here and you can be sure of friendly answers to any questions you may have

I'm sure your leather rigs etc will be of interest to the members too. Here's an opportunity to show off your wares

thanks mate
what would be the best section to show some of my rigs?

Simon,

Welcome to the forum.

If you seek for SAA, I suggest for what purpose you want to have one.
Realistic dimention? firing? fast draw?

Currently, Tanaka, Hartford (HWS) and Craft Apple Works (CAW) make SAA, respective model has it's charactor.

You're welcome Simon

I'd suggest "Modelgun Accessories" as a good category to start showing us your leather rigs

Simon,

Nice rigs!
Did you make those by yourself?

hi shazhib
yes i make the rigs myself,all leather,hand stitched and hand carved.
its just somthing i got into a while back and havent stopped yet ( its quite addictive lol)

Very nice indeed, these look stunning

im particualrly proud of the double rig with the deer on,it was one of the first i made,i havent finished it yet as i enjoy just looking at it ( sad i know). + if i finish it i may be tempted to sell it which i dont want to do right now lol.
