I have shot the 63 Remington and I have an 1862 Colt.

I like the Remington which is a steel frame Pietta. I don't like the Colt which is a brass frame ASM.

The Remington is made extremely well and could be a good candidate for a conversion. I am not a conversion kind of guy either, but if I was, this one might work well.

I can't speak to the Colt. It is a wall hanger. Not because it is a Colt, not because it is an ASM, and not because it is a brass frame. But because this particular pistol is not one I want to shoot.
