As much as I love the Navy, even with my short fingers I find I need to do the "pinky curl" on Navy and Remington NMA grips.

Found the photo finally. My first two replica revolvers, Uberti 1861s, bought in 1972.

Kevin,
 Hi. I notice one is a Square-back? Both 1861's and same year of manufacture? Those are nice. Do you still have those? Thank you,
for posting. Tim

I think all the 61 Navy pistols have the steel backstrap and trigger guard. My Sheriff length gun does.

My Pietta 1861 made in 1997 has a brass TG & BS.

Cabela's sold both types.  Most (not all) later mod 1861 original Colts came with brass.

Yes, both Model 1861 Improved Navies, both Uberti, yes I still have them.

Same year of build?  I will get back to you on that.
