I to am about to get an 1858
Cabela's is out for the next week or two for the standard model, they do have the Color case hardened frame model for $300
Cabelas sells Pietta, butnot Uberti except for the carbine model.
I am choosing Peitta because they have better Bore/Groove and cylinder sizes. Uberti is oversized on the Grooves, kind of a deal breaker for me.
