Mod 1858 Buffalo Revolver

Any members have one of these in stainless steel?
Any hunting experiences, loads, and shoulder rig holster information would be appreciated.

No, but it would be a lot better gun than the usual brass framed one.

My daughter has one. It works fine I suppose, but for hunting I'd choose a Ruger Old Army over it. The Buffalo is quite heavy and doesn't balance well. Sights aren't as nice, and it's not as powerful. For the price they get for the SS ones a ROA would be a much better revolver.
