Another from Northern California
« on: March 30, 2020, 08:44:37 AM »
Hello all, checking in from Northern California. I have always been very into the west in general. Growing up I always watched just about every western with my dad and grandpa. I currently own a ivers Johnson(Uberi) .357 cattleman, and a hi standard .22(looks like an 1873).

Since California has become so strict with our gun laws, I have purchased a matching set of pietta 1860 army’s, an 1851 yank .44 stub nose, and also have a pietta Remington in .44, an Uberti Remington .44 carbine, and a pedersoli 12ga couch gun. I’m getting more and more into black powder, although I’m still new, I’m hoping to learn more here. Thanks!!

I’ll try posting a picture, but may have a hard time. Even though I’m fairly young, I’m not always the best on a computer

Welcome to the camp fire.  :)
I like the SAA on the left. Who made it and what caliber is it?

The one on the far left with the black grips is actually a hi-standard .22, 9 shot, and it’s a 1873 look alike but is actually double action!!! It was my grandpas and will be my sons very soon

The one under that one. The Peacemaker with the case hardened frame and wood grips. Is that a .45?
