Seems to me most were .41 Rimfire, so anything that duplicates or closely simulates those ballistics would be a great place to start. In a centrefire, that would mean something from .380 Revolver to .450 Bulldog or .450 Adams I guess. No problem shortening existing modern revolver cases to fit. Easy to chamber up and load down to your comfort level! ![]() Unfortunately my unashamed love of the historically correct stops well short of the obsolete rimfire cartridges, so if it was me getting something made new, I would order a single-barrel Colt 2nd Model replica chambered for a shortened .41 Colt cartridge, loaded to .41 Rimfire ballistics or thereabouts. Remember too that the correct spelling for Henry Deringer's little gems from Philadelphia doesn't have the "double R": the American arms industry corrupted the spelling when the genre was widely copied sometime around the introduction of breech-loading. |
