Cabelas has a .44 Civillian steel frame revolver they are calling the Civillian Model. It has a nickled Backstrap.
I'd always read that the origonal Colt '51 Civillian was a .36 caliber with a nickeled Backstrap.
The .44 has good power, way harder shooting than a .36.
Was this a real model or another "invention" of the foreign manufacturers?
