I have started collecting frontier replica pistols that are converted to cartridge. I had the 1851 Colt Navy for a while...chambered in .38 special. It is a Uberti for Cimarron 8" octagon barrel..
This week I got an 1871 Colt open top with Army grips. A Uberti for Taylors .38 special 8" round barrel..
the pair...
Both are wonderful to shoot! An 1858 Remington is in my future...
