Thanks for all of your replies. So far everyone has recomended the 1858. I was leaning toward the Remington anyway because of the full frame design. Plus it still has the cool old fashioned styling. At $160 I think they're a great deal.

I ordered one from Cabela's today along with a pair of their western style holsters and a pair of matching gunbelts. The holsters are a single loop design that are cut to fit the 1858. I like the single loop design over the Slim Jim or flap styles. Plus the belts and holsters are only $16 each so I ordered a left handed rig and a right handed rig. Now I just need to save some extra cash for the second shootin' iron!
