My question here concerning our beloved 1851 Colt navy is thus.
Why do we find the square back Colt the only navy that has been replecated by the Colt company.
I do not find ANY original civil war Colts wearing this foolish square back finger gouger grip frame. ALL the 51's I find for sale and photo's of are all with the favorite round bow trigger guard ... vintage 51's that is.
I believe that the square back bow to be kinda rare in fact on vintage 51's.
Am I wrong here? Do I live under a bridge and remain un-schooled in this area. My most favorite revolver is delegated as being mostly of the square back bow on the trigger guard instead of the WAY MORE COMFY round trigger guard bow.
Just wish that Colt manufacturing would have made the exelent second gen revolvers in the most manufactured style as that of the hay day of the 51 Colts life.
Ok ok ... I will creep down off my box for now ... but ... I reserve the rite to submit yet other rants of stuff that enters my feeble mind and refuses to leave till I turn it out for others to marvel at.
HA
PS I will explain my stance on model 1860 Army's with that most ridiculous and RARE 2 extra button screws for holding the removable shoulder stock that was only rarely found on vintage 60's ... just try to find any newly manufactured revolvers without these abonimations!
Ok done now.
