Worth the wait. .
Well, it took 6 weeks, but I definitely believe in buying back-ordered, before it gets cherry-picked by anybody. And, it's got a [CI] stamp.
The last one they sent barely had any color at all, this one makes me very happy. (Cabelas 1860 .44) Here's the pics. New, unturned, still in the gooey packing oil they come in. |

I like your photos. They really make a great gun look appealing.

On a very limited basis....
....I compared the appearance of "case hardening" process on Uberti and on Traditions/Pietta.
The color on the Pietta appears to be more pronunced than on Uberti. The reason I mention this is that the revolver that Beagle got is a real pretty example of striking "case hardening" appearance.

I just received mine 2 days ago and agree its a beautiful firearm. Also waited 6 weeks. I'm new to BP and this is my first. I will have many questions for you guys but for now....what does the CI stamp mean? Thanks in advance for your info.

Just don't save it for posterity for too long. Rumor has it, there is a sort of concealment holster in the works from some guy on here. I hear it is of a highish ride variety and borrows some elements of a "quick draw" holster.

That is a great looking gun. I'm just wondering how you're going to check the lock up and chamber/bore alignment if you leave it unturned?
I hear that Cabelas is pretty good about dropping a new cylinder in the mail if you have a problem. |
