I built this one about 15 years ago, before they started to make them at the factory.  Just like the originals' I saw, cut the barrel and fix a sight, if you wanted one.  I added the American Ivory grips just because.



I may have to get mike to make some leather for it.

Hi StrawHat, that's one fine looking snub!

This is a holster that Mike made for my 1851 snub, great quality for a reasonable price:



What interesting is that Old South Firearms is selling their 1860 snub for $45 less than my 1851 snub cost from Dixie Gun Works. IMO those 1860 snub revolvers will sell out fast.

Regards,
Richard
