Finally getting a percussion revolver

Well, I have been threatening to buy a Colt reproduction percussion revolver for probably two years. I finally went ahead and ordered one from Cabelas today.

I wanted an army model because I wanted the slightly longer grip. I saw that Cabelas was out of the 1860 army, but they did have the army 'civilian' model still in stock for 10 more dollars, so that's what I ordered. As near as I can tell, it's the same pistol, minus the extra screw on the frame where a shoulder stock could attach.

I already have more guns than I can really shoot, but there is just something about the colt percussion models that I really like. I also really liked the looks of the Spiller and Burr, but I don't care for the brass frame, and the grip looks kind of small. I will shoot the 1860 sooner or later, but I just like the idea of having it, even if I don't shoot it much. It reminds me of the Clint Eastwood movies.
