At least one of you members must have an 1873 Colt model to share with us!  :'(

I've had two, a 7 1/2" and an Artillery, 5 1/2".  The Artillery is gone and I have no photos of the Cavalry Model.  I'll get some for you.

1.  Gotta take cylinder out to charge
2.  Revolver capper won't work capping nipple with cylinder installed.
3.  Not even remotely historically accurate - at least the .44 cal Navy pattern pistols are based on a Navy.
4.  Did I mention ya gotta take the cylinder out to reload it?
