Check this one out...not much time to make a decision! Buffalo Bills seems to want it....http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=144124506 :evil:

I have both styles but have to say the colt feels like a natural and looks great too..engraved cylinder scene etc....I'm definately a colt man but like my Remmies too! I also find the Colt easier to clean because one can remove the entire barrel assembly.

I have an EMF Hartford sheriffs shorty 1860 with integral loading lever on layaway..it does look nice but I havn't had my hands on it yet. Normally I am a Uberti man but this one looked a cut above the typical Pietta. Yours is a beauty!

Thanks for the info..I had a look at his work on the site/link..I think it is worth what he is asking for the examples I see there and mine is most definately worth what I am asking in comparison if one has a look for themselves. Not looking to step on anyones toes here again pics will tell the...

Hey Guys! I hope this is OK to post here but I thought You guys would be most interested in this item. I have a very nice Walker holster for sale... Holster looks like a regulation US Holster with flap embossed US within a circle, Brass boss for flap strap, White waxed stitching, very nicely...

Don't forget to consider the Cabellas 1851 Hickock Piettas with the engraving and faux ivory handles. Those look nice and one hardly ever sees them on the used market...I think people hang on to them. Price seems very reasonable too. I'd like to see some close up pics of one...maybe someone here...

If your nipples are adjusted properly they will not be struck by the hammer if dry firing..the frame will take the impact not the nipples. There should be a gap that is bridged only by the cap. How long the frame could take the punishment is a matter of conjecture. Probably OK for limited...

Many original dragoons had the brass backstraps..one will never see any ill effects whatsoever with the brass..I have owned both for decades with no issues.

I have also heard this particualar shooting was done with a dragoon not navy pistols. I havn't studied it one way or another ...if it was with two pistols they were probably navy's though. Anyone know for sure?

I have heard that aqua fortis finishes turn green or greenish over time..that would be a heartbreaker for me were it to happen to one of my weapons.
