.44 1851 on sale at Cabelas
« on: May 01, 2015, 11:38:16 AM »
Hi, while not an accurate historical revolver, the Pietta .44 1851 Civilian revolver is on sale at Cabelas for $199, see:

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Pietta-Model-1851-Navy-Civilian-44-Caliber-Revolver/705443.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch%2F%3FN%3D%26No%3D20%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dpietta%26Ntx%3Dmode%252Bmatchallpartial%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26WTz_st%3D%26WTz_stype%3DSP%26form_state%3DsearchForm%26recordsPerPage%3D20%26search%3Dpietta%26searchTypeByFilter%3DAllProducts%26x%3D10%26y%3D6&Ntt=pietta

This model has the brass silver plated. IMO wait until there is free shipping before purchasing and save $17.

While the .44 1851 isn't historically accurate, it has a smaller grip than the 1860 for those with small hands and should make a good shooter for them.

Regards,
Richard

I have one in steel frame and one brass framed one.   The brass framed one is one of the best shooters I have.   At $199 for a new steel framed revolver I would buy one if I didn't already have one.

I can't even say the word "GUN" around Kimmy untill a few days before this X-mas.  :-[

Hi Sam, maybe you can convince Kimmy that it is just a few days before Christmas? That's a good price for a special run of the 1851 Colt.

Hi Richard, I do have one of each of the 1851 Colt .44cal in brass and steel frame. I'm good on those. I just need the 1847 Colt Walker and a 1860 Colt .44cal.  L@.

Hi, I guess that Cabelas found a couple more, the revolver is now listed as limited stock.

Not a bad gun, there are a lot of others I would put higher on my list, though.
