Description
The one thing that upseted me about this drawing is the lack of croping. For som reason I'm un capable of doing it. Any way, This is a sketch I did for yet another character. Well his weapon of choice anyway. Its an 1848 Walker Model Colt in 44. Although I don't think any of these pistols were ever converted to use cartridges I thaught that it would be intersesting if this model was. The pistol originaly belonged to his father thus the "Walker" means a great deal to jonathan. Plus the story takes in 1893, Cap n' ball firearms would be considered to be obsolete. The character (Jonathan) also has an 1882 Maxim gun, the maxim gun is the world's first fully automatic machine gun. Because of the Maxim gun's size and weight it was tri-pod mounted but since the Main character isn't exactly human he uses it like a hand held sub machine gun. (Very intesting gunfights in the manga)Related content

You can convert these over to cartridge ammunition with a kirst Konverter cylinder. It will come chambered for the venerable .45 colt cartridge. However, with a little machine work, you can convert it to the wildcat round, .45 black powder magnum. google it. The wildcat round .45 bpm can hold up to 60 grains of black powder also, but it also allows you load different bullet types with the cartridge. If you do this conversion, always use a softer lead alloy bullet instead of the hard cast which are more common. It's less wear and tear on the barrel retaining pin. I have already converted mine over, but I have yet to have the machine work done to fully convert it over to the .45 bpm.

great drawing you are extremely skilled. i lov the conversion concept.
Actually the Paterson and the Walker are totally different firearms. The Paterson was invented in the mid 1830's. The Walker was invented in the late 1840's(1847)
The Paterson pistols were offered in calibers .28, .31 and .34 with barrel lengths of from 2-1/2" to 4-3/4". Mid-sized pistols with barrel lengths of 4" to 6"were available in .31 and .34 calibers. "Holster" pistols, the largest models, were available in .36 caliber only with barrel lengths of 4" to 12". The majority of the Holster pistols had 7-1/2" and 9" barrels.
All Paterson revolvers were five-shot pistols and featured a unique trigger that retracted into the frame and unfolded when the weapon was cocked.
The Walker Colt was a 6 shot large frame revolver that held a max powder charge of 60 grains in each chamber, It weighs 4½ pounds unloaded, had a 9-inch barrel, and fired a .44 caliber (0.454 in bullet diameter)

One of my favorite revolvers. The "Colt Patterson" (as the gun was commonly know as) was like the .45 Magnum of its day! It was a HUGE pistol! It weighed 12 pounds!!! XD
I would LOVE to have one!

Incredible. I've only recently become interested in Old West/19th C. firearms, mostly revolvers. I thank High Plains Drifter, Tombstone and Quick and the Dead for sparking my interest 
Wikipedia has a good image of an 1839 model (after Colt added the re-loading lever)

Great detail! Have you ever done a .44 caliber Dragoon pistol? Or a Luger? Those are a LOT of fun to draw!

I've done a Dragoon before but not a Luger. Although I'd like to give it a try, guns are a little new to me.

You defintely should. Did you post teh Dragoon? I plan on owning one of each of these some day.

I'll get to drawing a Luger one day, my prefer to draw revolvers though. Revolvers are much more intricate, and most of my stories are Westerns. Although there is the Volcanic 10, it was a 10 shot pistol that used a tube mag like the "Henry" rifles and it had a lever action to! Sadly it was only in 38. Bye the way, the Dragoon was almost exactly like the Walker. The ony differences from what I can recall is that the wood grips were not round where they meet the frame but squared like the Colt Navys and the ram-rod was nearly identical to the Navys as well. Google it in images, I positive you'll find it there!

Well, the character has the "Clint Eastwood" look so its a little easy-er to conceal.

Well I'm not big into guns myself but I do alot of Western themed stories so I strive for Historical accuracy. So through my research I've learned much about them.

"The .44 Magnum, the most powerful weapon in the world, did I fire 5 or 6 shots... You feelin' lucky... Punk?"
=3
I love it! I got a pair o' peacemakers o' my own. Real ones. Along with a pair of Vaqueroes and No less then two .44 Lever actions, a 1890 Pump shotgun in .12 guage, and a .12 guage Long barreled side by side. (No coach guns for me.
