I don't know anywhere cheaper. I have a pair of their 1860 .44s. It's great to open a UPS box and get guns out of it.

The last time I checked, about 2 months ago...
For the steel framed standard (no special finish or grips) 1851 Colt Navy .36 cal:
S&S, Uberti, $225, http://www.ssfirearms.com/images/07 Cat/SS0752-67.pdf Cimarron, (Uberti), $278, http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/Blk...006-51Navy.htm Texas Jack, (Cimarron/Uberti), $246, http://www.texasjacks.com/BlkPowder/...0-1851Navy.htm Arms2Armor, Cimarron (Uberti), $247, http://arms2armor.com/store/sscimarron-ss3.html Arms2Armor, Pietta, $200, http://arms2armor.com/store/product34.html Arms2Armor, Uberti, $247, http://arms2armor.com/store/product23.html Buffalo Arms, Uberti, $237, http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/4,4427.htm Buffalo Arms, Cimarron (Uberti), $236, http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/4,4461.htm Cabela's, Unknown mfr, $190, http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...Navy&noImage=0 Dixie Gun Works, Uberti, $265, http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product...oducts_id=1027 EMF, Unknown mfr, $181, http://www.emf-company.com/1851-model-navy-revolver.htm Midway USA, Pietta, $210, http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=454943 Midway USA, Uberti(?), $280, http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=148019 Midway USA, Uberti, $291, http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=887895 October Country, Pietta, $235, http://www.octobercountry.com/produc...?productid=908 October Country, Uberti, $235, http://www.octobercountry.com/produc...?productid=913 Taylor's, Uberti, $257, http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/bpArmyNavy.tpl Taylor's, Pietta, $210, http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/bpArmyNavy.tpl The Possible Shop, Uberti, $250, http://www.possibleshop.com/uberti.htm Thunder Ridge, Pietta, $210, http://thunder-ridge-muzzleloading.com/revolvers.htm Thunder Ridge, Uberti, $$257, http://thunder-ridge-muzzleloading.com/revolvers.htm Prices tend to be volatile due to dollar/euro fluctuations. They range from $181 at EMF for a gun of unknown manufacture to $291 at Midway for a Uberti (remember, these are standard guns, no special finishes, etc. You can pay more...). The least expensive Pietta is $200 at Arms2Armor, although 3 others offer a $210 Pietta (watch shipping/handling prices carefully). The least expensive Uberti is $225 at S&S, with $235 at October Country and $237 at Buffalo Arms the next highest. Texas Jack's $246 gun is actually a Cimarron (Uberti) and is a good value if they have it in stock. Last edited by mykeal; June 11, 2007 at 08:14 AM. Reason: Spelling. Or is it speling? |

thanks guys, i am an absolute newbie when it comes to these things. what brand would be good to go with, i saw some colts at natchezz i think it was for around $500. i would be willing to spend a bit of a premium for a bit of collectability.

Uberti
If you are just starting out, get an Uberti. Get something cheaper and you might not stay in this. Getting an Uberti, not the most expensive, but I think, the best for the money, and you will not go wrong and will be able to get a better price for it when you sell it, unless you sell it to somebody who doesn't know about Uberti Quality.
The Doc is out now. |

yep
2nd the Uberti.
If you want a nice holster - Dixie Gun Works has the best/for price - if you like black. |

Third the Uberti.
Also, I will have to throw another option out there for holsters. Dixie's are very nice of course but for about the exact same price you can order a holster from Fall Creek Sutlers. http://fcsutler.com/fcleather.asp They have period correct holsters with the original stampings, white linen thread etc. Also cartridge boxes, cap boxes etc. I have holsters from both Dixie and Fall Creek and I must say the Fall Creek holsters are MUCH nicer. Only for Colt Navy, Army and 58 Remingtons though! They don't have a Dragoon holster yet, but supposedly one is coming. Just my $.02 Here's my rig from Fall Creek. Holster fits either the Army or Navy. Cap box (for the musket), pistol cartridge box and spare cylinder box. Also have a cartridge box for my Springfield 1861. Oh, there are other Civil War Sutlers out there that DO sell holsters in Confederate Brown etc. for those of you of the more Southern Persuasion.

+4 for Uberti, but...
I'd get the Cimarron gun; it's a Uberti, it's less expensive than Midway even with the Type 03 discount and it's had Cimarron's inspection and acceptance, a serious plus. $246 at Texas Jack, $247 at Arms to Armor.

Once you got a Colt BP you get addicted to these things
a 1851, Wild Bill Hickock's revolver, this is one of my favorites! Well, if you get a 1851, you'll have to own a 1860 at one day or another...

Steel vs brass frame
Much debate about steel vs brass frames amongst the cognizeti - it's really a personal choice thing AS LONG AS you don't abuse the gun. Brass frames are less tolerant of abuse (ie, shooting heavy, maximum loads repeatedly) than steel frames. Otherwise, what do you like? I prefer steel frames; I also like Chrysler products and Detroit Tiger baseball (Verlander is just superb), none of which means a whit to anyone else, nor should it.

With a steel frame you can then get a cartridge convertor for it you want. The Conversion cylinders should not be used in brass frames.
