Nice Pistol There Tex
Search Warrant served in 010 the other day:
Much hilarity ensued:
Much hilarity ensued:
- A Chicago Police Department tweet showing off the spoils of a drug and gun bust — including a long, antique pistol — launched a series of Twitter jokes about the shared photo.
The guns have a, shall we say, "vintage" look about them, and the tweet set off a storm of dozens of people questioning whether Jesse James, Jack Sparrow or Billy the Kid had been captured.
The tweet ended up getting more than 300 responses, most of them jokes.

Black powder pistol, huh? Also, did anyone else notice that it doesn't have a trigger in it?
If the Tex gun had a trigger I'd bet it would pack a punch
There's no trigger on it! Someone should have turned it in at the last gun buyback and purchased a Hi Point instead! Hahahaha....
LOL!
Dat crushed leafy green plant substance
that has NO ASSOCIATION with violence.
Right?
The top one is an 1858 Remington Cap and Ball clone
The one on the bottom looks to be a famous .22 Pot-Metal Rocket
that can kill more efficiently from the rear than
out the muzzle...
As for the Remington clone, we wonder how many stupid
m/fers have gotten themselves royally kilt trying to
make that POS go "Bang!" when an opposing asshole
upped with some REAL live shit?
It ain't that they're so smart as they are just
flat out fucking dangerous.
Years ago we caught dude with a Ruger Black Hawk
.44 Magnum.
The usual green bullets in it...
High velocity Sepsis done kilt many.
We laughed when we felt the NOTICEABLE
BULGE and crack in the barrel just ahead of the
frame/forcing cone.
Big bore Ruger revolvers are STOUT
(well, so are Ruger revolvers in general)
so somebody did the ballistic fool and
managed to bulge the barrel (complete
with a longitudinal hairline crack)
of the damned thing.
We then wished to be an eye-witness
to the in-custody asshole trying to
bang off rounds from a car at another asshole
with that there pipe-bomb with a handle...
>KA-BLOOEY!<
>SCREEEE-CRASH!<
Wet and half dead m/fers because they ran up
on and knocked the titties off a hydrant
after the surprise explosion...
Police Like You Have No Friends.
The SA revolver (Remington New Model Army) or replica has seen its days as a fire breathing dragon as evidenced by the powder burns on the frame. But it has no trigger now.
Nonsense cabelas $89 black powder revolver with percussion caps. Don't even need a foid to purchase. I think newsafrairs lied again, Burke is gonna be mad.
Standard carry for Arnold & Danny (Twins, 1988)
Don't get pistol whipped with one of those hog laigs. They can raise lumps on your skull.
Never fails to draw the chicks at the range
John Deere Special
Oh for Pete's sake, black powder with NO trigger?
That would only hurt you if used as a club.
Hey SSC... From time to time I take to this blog to bring some act of supreme dumb assery or that which pegs my personal stuck on stupid meter to your attention ... Well as this one is about police being shot and knowing you can't be everywhere you ain't going to believe this one ... The latest son of Islam who killed and wounded those cops in Paris ... Was arrested ... Charged ... And convicted in France back in 2001 ... For shooting .... Several cops... Sentenced to 20 years reduced to 15 ... Do the math
I think the dude who owned these is a reincarnation of two gun Pete.
All those "needed" sworn officers in News Affairs and that is the best they can come up with?
If they don't like these guns taken away, give them back!
Have you ever read the 10th district twitter page? Jimmy Sanchez is soft as shit.
That revolver isn't going to be useful for much more than a pistol whipping without a trigger. Maybe they're spur shooting it? Hell has anyone taken a round ball in a drive by in Chicago recently?
I like the cute little one. Of course, I've always liked cute little ones.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Both of those guns will still kill you. That cap and ball looks like the .36 cal. Navy dad has. Its not an original but its fun, and cheap to shoot.
During black powder deer season its nice to carry one of these in case your first rifle shot knocks the deer down, but doesn't kill it right away. The pistol is quicker than reloading the rifle.
J.J.
The revolver won't even fire. There's no trigger, and it's a single action revolver.
Is we missing a trigger?
Shit like this is the reason we had 40 people shot on Easter, but only 1 killed.
I will bet my entire pension check that gun is stolen.......They need to start charging the mutts with stolen guns, bet to boot he was a felon. What am I saying sure he is out by now on a I-bond. On his way to score more dope and another gun. Only stronger gun laws will stop this (sic)....Right faker Fleiger .
Just another reason why I left Chicago, moved to Oklahoma when I retired from the CPD in 2012.
Just watch your backs, stay fetal, and let the hood clean itself. Keep voting democrat and put those signs in your yard.
guns like that are probably worth a fraction of their weight in drugs....which is probably how it wound up walking away from someone's house in the first place.
To the individual who criticized me for working CTA for straight time.
I have been working CTA for the past 28 years and, it has been very good to me and I will miss it in November. Over the years it has assisted me in paying my house off in 13 years vs 30 years. Is your house paid off? Also, my Tax Attorney suggested to continue working it as long as I am CPD, as it will be beneficial with SS. Yeah I know all about the Windfall elimination act passed by Rostenkowski.
But then again kid, you probably do your taxes on turbo tax in your parents basement. I will be retiring in NOV kid, maybe then you can get all the OT that I have had over the years.
Don't know many guns that kill without a trigger.
SEE PHOTO
A percussion cap pistol is legal to own in Chicago. No registration is required.
I might be more afraid of that gun if it still had a trigger.
Ugly? The .25ACP is pretty homely, but the 1858 Army revolver has a certain classic elegance. I'm just surprised your average street thug could actually successfully load and fire one without blowing the thing up.
" we got us josey wales".
A functioning black powder gun will kill. I you don't believe me ask the thousands of Civil War dead.
For those who think these guns are a joke look at civil war pictures. They will kill you very dead. Of course this would take someone who knows the intricacies of these weapons. Now you get someone who stuffs the cylinders full of Bullseye and puts a 150 gr round ball on top, well THATS a pipe bomb with a handle. There is a video on you tube with the cylinder and top strap coming from together and it would not be a pretty sight if you were the one who pulled the trigger. But something tells me this Einstein is not smart enough to load the thing let alone be capable of discharging it with any effect. With black powder the smoke would end the drive by. Knew a Bandidto who had a felony and carried two Colt made reproduction 1860 Army revolvers with him. He could put 10 shots in a 4 inch circle at 15 yards. As famed Texas Ranger, god rest his soul, Joaquin Jackson said in a interview when asked what the most deadly weapon a law enforcement officer faced replied "one somebody knows how to use and has no fear in using it"
As a law enforcement officer which would you fear. A person blasting away with a Glock holding it sideways or someone with one of these brass framed Remingtons taking careful aim at you? Course, most of the people who own these charcoal burners would never raise on against anyone in law enforcement.
Was Doc Holiday the tatget of the search warrant
Dog and Pony show.
Got an uncle in Colorado. Old timer. Got caught with a bunch of blow on the 80s. Now a convicted felon. Black powder is his way around the law now.
Baltimore, MD Police Dept's Facebook page recently had one of these type of posts get a lot of attention. Hilarity ensued.

Why are we posting criminal evidence on social media?
Embarrassing.
Would that magazine actually fit that pocket pistol?
Definitely the last gringo standing in 010 was busted, where the 1911 Pancho Villa Edition is standard issue.
What's up with the bags oregano?
And since it's in the 'jump first-think later' 010, I wouldn't doubt that there's probably no Felony UUW charge pending.
BTW, did that tweet originate under the authority of News Affairs ?
Too bad that magazine isn't even for that gun.
Those guns belong to Frank Nitti and Baby Face Nelson.
(OT) get ready first New York power outage:
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/04/21/power-problem-subway-delays/
then San Francisco coincidence?:
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Massive-power-outage-hits-San-Francisco-shuts-11089574.php
Massive power outage hits San Francisco, shuts down businesses, BART station, cable cars, traffic lights
Like we did many years ago keep watching the power stations we all know where they are especially downtown areas could it be something nefarious? maybe a test run?
if it was functional I'd LOVE to see this one used in a shooting. Can you imagine the look on the ME face when he pulls out lead mini balls from dudes body. Watching that pod camera or CCTV would be hilarious!
"Shane: A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it."
No those guns belonged to Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill Hickock.

I believe that the revolver shown is a Italian replica of a .44 caliber Army Colt, 1860 model. Yes, black powder, and very accurate. But, if you are a convicted felon you cannot own one of these black powder guns. It is still considered a firearm, at least in Illinois. In this state you need an FOID card to buy one and to purchase black powder

Wrong thread, nobody cares.
Yes the individual was charged with UUW by felon for the .25 as well as the numerous mags of 7.62 rounds he had. The photo was requested by the Caps office and news affairs re-tweeted the photo. The comments are hilarious but the reality is both these guns could kill a police officer and although the revolver is quite comical it still could be used to kill. Thank you to the officers involved. I can sleep better knowing my child will not be a victim while working those streets. Thankfully there are still people doing their job. By the look of the twitter page it seems that Cmdr. Sanchez is doing something right. Lots of recovered weapons.
Too bad that magazine isn't even for that gun.
--- look again loser. Have you ever recovered a gun like that? If so you'd know it belongs
The little one is a Smith & Wesson Escort, a .22 made for a few years in the early '70s.
Looks kind of like my Griswald and Gunnison that's been in the family for over 150 years. Except mine has a trigger and the cap and ball will still fire....
All hilarity aside...
Those old black powder revolvers were bonafide
killing-sticks...
That 1858 Remington .44 New Army was actually preferred
because is was a pretty stout action and had a top strap
for strength and rigidity.
40 some grains of black powder with a ball or conical
sitting on top = something stood a more than fair chance
of getting the dog shit knocked out of it at 50 yards
or less.
The real fun came about when self contained metallic
cartridges became the rule more than the exception.
The .45 Colt for the
1873 Colt Single Action Army.
The .44-40 WCF for the
1875 Remington Single Action Army.
There were other but these were the main two.
You best believe that neither one was anybody's bitch.
Both of those cartridges in their original loadings,
hauled the m/fing mail.
A 200 to 250-ish grain solid lead gumball running
at 1000 to 1200 fps with 500+ to 600+ pounds
of muzzle energy is pretty much going to shoot
THROUGH most two and four legged predators.
Catastrophic loss of blood pressure due to
leaking from two nearly nickel-sized holes
from being center punched with one of those.
The job got done for many years before the advent
of "metal patched" hollow points.
Trivia:
CPD legend Capt. Frank Pape was reported to
have kept a Colt New Service in .44-40
stashed in his glove box...

"POOMP!"<
BZZZZZZT - CLANG!

Ol' Range Master called it
"Spontaneous Kinetic Self-Disassembly"
Oh folks that old cap and ball may very well work just fine without trigger ... Its likely a single action and with a single action all you have to do is keep trigger depressed and ear back hammer and let go the cylnder will rotate placing unfired load under hammer....BOOM... I wouldn't bet my life that it won't work
Oh I googled around and it looks like that thing is a 1858 Remington reproduction .44 cal
Don't know many guns that kill without a trigger.
Single action guns that have the Broken trigger jammed into the firing position or altered into the firing position even if the trigger is missing so all you have to do is fan the hammer like they did in the old west or still do on the west side.
Back in the day they had Zip Guns.
Badges?! We don't need no stinking Badges!! Vamanos

Is this Joe Kosala's gun? LOL
Pietta Model 1858 New Army Brass Frame .44-Caliber Black Powder Revolver:
Not an antique.
http://www.cabelas.com/product/shooting/firearms/black-powder-firearms/black-powder-revolvers%7C/pc/104792580/c/553829580/sc/571854780/i/567338580/pietta-model-new-army-brass-frame-caliber-black-powder-revolver/705020.uts
1. Can a person prohibited by law from possessing a firearm acquire and use a black powder muzzle loading firearm?
The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) prohibits felons and certain other persons from possessing or receiving firearms and ammunition (“prohibited persons”). These categories can be found at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) and (n) in http://atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-4.pdf.
However, Federal law does not prohibit these persons from possessing or receiving an antique firearm. The term “antique firearm” means any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898. The definition includes any replica of an antique firearm if it is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or uses rimfire or conventional centerfire ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States, and which is not readily available in ordinary channels of commercial trade. Further, any muzzle loading rifle, shotgun, or pistol which is designed to use black powder or black powder substitute, and which cannot use fixed ammunition, is an “antique firearm” unless it (1) incorporates a firearm frame or receiver; (2) is a firearm which is converted into a muzzle loading weapon; or (3) is a muzzle loading weapon which can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof. See 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), (a)(16).
Thus, a muzzle loading weapon that meets the definition of an “antique firearm” is not a firearm and may lawfully be received and possessed by a prohibited person under the GCA. In addition, the GCA defines the term “ammunition” to mean “ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm.” Because an “antique firearm” is not a “firearm,” it would is lawful for a prohibited person to receive or possess black powder designed for use in an “antique firearm.” Also, the Federal explosives laws do not make it unlawful for a prohibited person to acquire and possess black powder in quantities not exceeding fifty pounds if it is intended to be used solely for sporting, recreational, or cultural purposes in “antique firearms.” See 18 U.S.C. § 845(a)(5)
By contrast, a prohibited person may not receive or possess black powder firearms that can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof. ATF has classified certain muzzle loading models as firearms. All of these models incorporate the frame or receiver of a firearm that is capable of accepting barrels designed to fire conventional rimfire or centerfire fixed ammunition. These muzzle loading models do not meet the definition of “antique firearm” as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(16), and are “firearms” as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3). Furthermore, as firearms, these and similar models, regardless of the barrel installed on the firearm or provided with the firearm, are subject to all provisions of the GCA. Persons who purchase these firearms from licensed dealers are required to fill out a Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473, and are subject to a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check. Felons and other prohibited persons may not lawfully receive or possess these firearms or ammunition.
Finally, even though a prohibited person may lawfully possess an antique firearm under Federal law, State or local law may classify such weapons as “firearms” subject to regulation. Any person considering acquiring a black powder weapon should contact his or her State Attorney General’s Office to inquire about the laws and possible State or local restrictions. A list of State Attorney General contact numbers may be found at www.naag.org.

Thanks for your comment Jimmy. Go back to sleep now.
I think the jokes lie more in the lack of a trigger. Oh and the fact that the .380 magazine isn't going in that little .25 auto firearm. Unloaded non functioning guns recovered inside a house, not really much to see.

And speaking of "settling..."
Saw something interesting about a curious 8000 year old rock
formation at the bottom of Lake Huron.
They were placed there (when the Great Lakes basin was
a run-off puddle for that 2.5 mile thick sheet of ice
parked just north) by ancestral Amerindian hunters
to herd caribou to ambush sites.
Also, there's a drowned forest about a couple miles
east of Calumet Beach (95th St.) that has been
dated to about the same time.
"We" did not "settle" this country...
Oh yeah...
The English Channel was once dry land
that was inundated about the same time
the North American ice sheet melted.
Fishermen are always dragging up large
land animal bones from the bottom.
They dragged up a human mandible that was
some 9K years old.
History is interesting.

You gents might want to take a closer look at that trigger. That type of pistol has the trigger set far back in the trigger guard when the hammer is down, which it is. When cocked it comes out a bit more. It's possible the trigger is there. Take a closer look.

No trigger in that revolver nimrod, and measure that Magazine length wise and then measure that mouse gun from the bottom of the magazine port to where the ramp on the barrel is. The hog leg won't fire no matter what you experts say about "fanning" the hammer and that mouse gun will not function with that magazine . Now come up with all the "ya buts" you want they aint going bang as shown!
Well, are you going draw them pistols or whistle Dixie
Obviously photoshopped. marijuana possession is a non-violent, no victim crime. It's unthinkable that someone would have weapons and marijuana at the same time.
