He was a stickler for correctness though and this gun looks and has all the features of it's black powder brother, but shoots .38 special. Clint Eastwood carried the gun in all 3 movies. Uberti still makes the gun and it's sold under the name " The man with no name" as Eastwood never had a name in those movies. This is one of my favorite guns to shoot in my collection. It's just a fun gun to shoot and is really accurate.

I thought his name was "Blondie"?
Is your 1851 a conversion kit? I have both a CVA and Uberti 1851 and would like to know a little about converting the Uberti to shoot more modern ammo. Read a little bit about the process but would like an expert's opinion.
