I have to respectfully disagree Monkey. While it is true that both the Colt 1851 and the Remington M1858 were cap and ball pistols when they first went into production, the Colt 1851 that the Man was using was already converted for metallic cartridges (it says so in da blog). Although that would have been anarchronistic, it's still the gun the he used in film-verse. The Remington M1851 that Django is using in the film is a cap and ball pistol (which is obvious if you look at the picture and the Tarantino movie).

Metallic cartridge beats Cap and Ball system everytime its like pitting an 1874 Sharps rifle against a flintlock rifle. Yeah the latter has the larger bullet but its old-fashioned and unreliable while the former can be reloaded faster and has a faster rate of fire overall. The Man defiantely has the better pistol.
