Howdy from the High Sierra of Calif!
« on: November 24, 2015, 08:51:45 PM »
At the urging of Captainkirk on the 1858 Remington forum, I decided to join in here after lurking for a while. I like shooting my Remington's, but love my Colt's too. Here is my current collection of Colt's:

First is a Uberti Cimarron Walker followed by my Signature Series 1860 Army, then a 2nd Gen "C" Series 1851 and below that is an American Frontier Firearms 1851 .Richards 38 conversion and finally an "F" series 1862 .36 Police.

My biggest concern is that when I pass away, my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.

A big Buckeye welcome to you.

That Pocket Police is a good looking revolver.  I am partial to them myself.

Thanks StrawHat. I like my Colt .36 Police too. I have only used .375 balls in it but have read that the .380 round ball is a better fit for the 2nd Gens. Going to have to get my hands on some one of these days.
