Hello all,
So I've been thinking about picking up my first BP revolver, and have sort of fallen for the 1851. Poking around on gunbroker, I noticed that you could get a 2nd gen Colt 1851 for not much more than a new Uberti repro. Given the premium colts tend to fetch, this surprises me. So what gives? Any good reason not to fork over the extra $100 for a genuine Colt?
