Let's see your single actions!

My Uberti 1873 SAA homage and my Winchester 1873 original.

Sorry, I just can't pass this up.

Original Winchester Model 1873, chambered for 38-40, and a Colt Bisley model, also chambered for 38-40.

Driftwood
Really nice.
Especially for an east coast dude.

I'm on a roll here.

The same 38-40 Model 1873 as above and a S&W Russian 2nd Model. The Winchester shipped in 1887, the Russian in 1875. The Colt in the photo above shipped in 1909.

Where do you think all this stuff was made?

Oh, I know that. It's just so iconic western. I do like the Bisley so well paired.

This one arrived on Tuesday. 1984 Ruger Single Six. Someone took care of this one.

Added another clone, Taylor Runnin Iron Stainless.

Top is a early seventies pre-transfer bar bearcat, middle is a 22 magnum only from 1966 and a 1976 liberty single six.

I sold the 9.5" Single Six and used the money to pick up this 1994 Single Six Convertible with 4-5/8" barrel. It came with both cylinders and the box. Very nice shape.

I want to replace the grips and make a holster for it.

I know it's a Blackhawk but I need a nickname for it because Blackhawk doesn't quite do it for me. The Carryhawk brings a certain image to mind, how about this one?

Very nice. Congrats.

You don't know how tempted I am to do the same and sell my 9.5" for a 4.6".

Tell me about your experience between the two, and what you like most about either one, please.

How about "Thumper .45"? I'm guessing the .45 part as you did mention in a previous post that you were looking for a .45 Blackhawk in stainless.

Sure, if it was a 44 mag or 45 Colt, but it's a 357 mag.

The 9.5" was a novelty for me. I had a holster but the gun wasn't handy. Sitting in a truck wasn't comfortable.
The 4-5/8" barrel, adjustable sights and 22lr/22mag in excellent shape was a no brainer for me. This gun is handy. I will be done today with my holster I am making.

Sorry, wrong thread.

My newest, a Pietta 1860 Army. Destined for a bespoke 5-shot .44 Colt cartridge conversion, but as few visual changes as possible. I think the 1860 Army is one of the most elegant and beautiful firearms ever made.


1851 Avenging Angel cartridge conversion in .38 Colt short.


1851 Avenging Angel with a Kirst gated conversion in .45 Schofield, cased with a hand-made single shot derringer in .450 Adams.

There might be another one or two around, but this is most of them.

My only single action revolver, 1851 Navy clone from Navy Arms sometime in 1978

I finished this holster this weekend for my new-to-me Single Six.

It may be an unusual one, but I love it. Taurus Gaucho 5.5” in .45 colt. Would love to add a ruger to the safe one day.
