Awfully obsolete at the time of acceptance but still a very interesting cavalry arm from the American Civl War. The M 1855 pistol-carbine was adopted the same year as the M1855 rifle musket. In a time when wide variety of breech loaders were already accessible, including a few firing metallic cartridges. History and range time.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
