companion for my 32 cherokee

I was wondering if anyone made or if any of you guy would recomend a companion for my 32 TC Cherokee. I've got a ROA that I enjoy shooting. Is there a cap and ball revolver that shoots a .310 RB?

Yep, I think the Colt "Baby Dragoon" takes a .310" ball, but I'm not sure. I used to have one, and I think that's what it shot.

Anyhow, it was a fun little gun, but almost "too small", frame/size wise. It would be neat if they made the 1862 in .32 calibre.

A .36 calibre Navy Colt, or Remington Navy would be a neat companion sidearm, even though it is not of the same calibre.

I'd kind of like to have a .38 calibre rifle, that shot the same .375" balls that my Remington Navy does.
Brown Bess .75 calibre carbine, .62 calibre Jaeger, .58 Calibre slug gun.

Super Rat, the 1848 Colt Baby Dragoon .31 caliber uses a .321 ball as well as the 1849 Colt .31 caliber Pocket Hartford, respectively.

I own a Palmetto 1849 Colt Pocket .31 with 5 1/2 inch barrel and it shoots very well with 12 grains of 777 a wonder wad and a 50 grain, .321 round ball.  Also, the Colt Pocket Model has a fixed loading lever.


Good Shooting,
