Re: Lever wrap
I have best success with the 3 finger lever as well. I tried a lever wrap, but I got used to shooting my 1860 without it.

Re: Lever wrap
The lever wrap I like it and I use it for fill . That way in my speed runs I don't have any up and down play and allow me a more positive feel . Remember I'm cowboy action shooter and not a hunter .

Re: Lever wrap
For speed, I can definitely see how shredded knuckles would be the end result without a wrap.tx gunrunner wrote:The lever wrap I like it and I use it for fill .

Re: Lever wrap
After some experimentation I've ended up using buffalo hide to wrap all my levers. It has the softness of dear skin but it's tuff.
The wrap on the Big Boy hasn't been treated with Whites Leather preservative the other has.
