1860 Uberti, of the 3 screw civilian version, with charcoal bluing.

Oooo.  I'd like a couple of those myself

Hi Bruce, a 1/4" barrel??? 

I bet you meant 2.5"?

Bruce! Get that Beer out of yours hands! 

[Electric Miner]

And into my hands...

Toss up between my 1851 and my 1861 sherrif. The 1861 is piettas version of the 1862.

Now I'd like to get me a Uberti 1862 as it  is more realistic but the pietta shoots real nice and has an extra shot.

Still looking to get an 1860  and a dragoon, and of course a walker. No idea when these will join the stable but I gotta have the "next one in sight", LOL!

I kinda like em all of course so like others lust for em all!

[BOOMSTICK BRUCE]

Lol, yeah 2.5" .....hmmmm.. .. Walker pepper box?

Short answer:  1860 Army (full size).

BUT, I love 1851 Navy  too.  51 Vs. 60?  I have been wondering which is my favorite since I was just a little kid.  I’m no closer to a definitive answer than I ever was.  Got to have both, no way around it.

I lean toward .44 though and Armys / Navys don’t really compare anyway, at least one to the exclusion of the other.

If, in evil hour, I could only have one Colt (perish the thought and heaven forefend)  I’d just have to have me a ’60 Army, boy howdy I would.

Addendum:  I did not mention 1861 Navy because in handle and caliber they resemble the 1851 and in  front end form resemble an 1860 Army.  An 1861 Navy may reflect the best of both of those other models.  I only have one 1861 Navy and love it unconditionally.  But I’ll stick with my first choice of 1860, as conflicted as any choice may be.

For me I would have to say the 1851 Navy because it was my first. That only started the madness. But then there is nothing as sleek and beautiful as the 1860/61 types. They remind me of the leg on a beautiful woman. And I would be untrue to myself without saying I have a deep fondness for my other most favorite... the 1911 A 1 Gov't.

Would say "Walker"; but with spinal problems, that 4-1/2 lb. gun is just too much for me to handle anymore. I originally bought the Remmies because I figured they would be a good compromise between my (sold) Colts ('51/'60 and Walker). Except for the Walker, all my C&B guns have been sheriffs (& 1 snubbie). I've really only been interested in the Walker, the '51 Navy (.44), & the '60 Army (& of course, '58 Remmie). And, I really don't want anything smaller than .44. Pocket gun? .44, also. Except for the ASM (great little .44 '51 Navy sheriff), all my guns have been Pietta (don't feel a need for anything else). Tomorrow, I take delivery on an 8" '60 Army (w/extra 5" '51 Navy .44 barrel). As I will have the best of both world's (long-barrelled '60 & short-barrelled '51), I'm pretty sure that will be my lifetime favorite. Continued manana (can't wait)(REALLY can't wait!).   
Correction: forgot -- Walker was Uberti.

The Walker can be lightened a little.

Still doesn't make it a pocket revolver or even a light revolver, just lighter!

Hi StrawHat, now that one doesn't look so bad.

Yeah, I did seriously consider bobbing the barrel. Now, I kinda wish I had. Just spent $400 on an 8" '60 Army & 5" Navy barrel & loading lever; so, I prob'ly won't be getting another Walker anytime soon. Darn -- more lost sleep!

I have too many to choose a favorite so I guess my favorite is the one I have in my hand at the time.
