Show Off Your BP & Cowboy SA Revolvers
Guys,
I'd like to see what you have accumulated over the years in terms of Black Powder and Cowboy single action revolvers, repros as well as originals. Since this is for my education, please take clear, large, and focused pictures, and add the proper captions to identify your pieces. I know the basic guns, but there are so many manufacturers and so many models that I don't know about, and I'm sure that's the case for the newbs like me out there. I have searched the forum for a gallery of guns as proposed, but I couldn't find one on this forum. If I missed it, please disregard this thread. If I didn't, could the admins make this a sticky? Here's my modest collection to start. Thanks all in advance. Hong Pietta 1860 .44, Pietta 1851 .44, Uberti 1862 Police .36 (5 shot) [IMG][/IMG] Ruger Vaquero .45 LC Last edited by hongrn; April 12, 2011 at 01:23 PM. |

FWIW, the 5 shot .36 is a 1862 pocket police revolver.

Question for Hawg and DrLaw. I'm looking to get the Pietta Remmy 44, and there are 3 models available at Cabelas: the brass frame, the black frame, and the case hardened frame with the checkered grip (Hawg's). So what's the black frame made of? Is it out of steel that was blued? Thanks.

The black frame is steel that is blued. That's all.
The Doc is out now. |

The brass frame will last for many, many years if loads are kept light. It won't take many moderately heave loads to beat one to death tho. I read somewhere that some of the last 58's were case hardened and I've seen original white grips that were checkered so it's not too much of a stretch. The CCH model has the smoothest action and the lightest hammer of any Remington I've ever seen and I've seen quite a few of them.
