1851 or 1860?

[junkman_01]

Yeah, that 'mystique' was quoted before the model 1860 was introduced!

 

[Fingers McGee]

1861s are 1860 Armys for sissys.

If .36 was good enough for J.B.Hickok, It's good enough for me. You callin Wild Bill a sissy???

 

[junkman_01]

Well, with that hairdo.......

 

[Fingers McGee]

Hey, I resemble, er, ah, resent that.

 

[junkman_01]

Wow! You could be brothers.

 

[black_powder_Rob]

I thought it was a '61 in The Outlaw Josie Wales. I could be wrong though.

 

[black_powder_Rob]

To Fingers McGee all I have to say is NICE

 

[45Fan]

It could have been a '61, I could be mistaken on that one. They look very similar to me, and I wanted a .44.

 

[black_powder_Rob]

okay 45Fan I just went and looked at the guns used in The Outlaw Josey Wales and I can see now that it was an 1860 with a conversion cylinder that's what was throwing me off, I didn't see the Rebated cylinder so I assumed it was a "61.
Here's the link in case you are interested.

Well in the end I bought the Pietta 1860 Army.
I also got some Swiss NO.2 powder (the other stuff I have is FFG and NOT FFFG)

 

[junkman_01]

You can also use the 2F powder in these revolvers.

I got my 1860 a couple of days ago
Very happy but I'm yet to shoot it.

Looks alot more slick than the 1858.
When it arrived I stripped it down to clean it, the wedge wasn't any trouble which was nice.


Colt Dragoon is next on the shopping list!!!!!!!

Is there no THR 1860 club?

 

[Olmontanaboy]

I'd be hard pressed to choose one or the other, since you went for the 60 army, I think a 51 navy might be next then on to the Rems

 

[dtvburns]

I do think owning both is the only viable solution. Does anyone know of an engraved reproduction 1860/61"

 

[martysport]

You can get them in France, over double the price of a regular 1860!!!!!!

Does have a nice box though

 

[dtvburns]

That is $680 here and three times the price of a normal one.

BP guns are like cars

BP guns are addictive. I'm pretty sure you'll end up buying both, and more...

Think of them like cars: the 1860, is the slick one, like an Italian sports car, while the 1851 is like a muscle car. Then you'll probably want the SUV version , the 1858 Remington, and then the small convertible, the 1862 police 5 shot.

Then you might consider the Hummer of BP: a Walker, and last but not least, you'll want the Hybrid: a LeMat.

Gotta have'em all !!!

 

[Gaucho Gringo]

The website that was listed has a lot more different guns than you can get in the US and not just black powder guns. I saw a .22 cal Trapdoor from Chippa, a full fluted cylinder for an 1858 Rem and a few other things I wish were available here. Kind of like a kid in a candy store.

 

[jtscuba02]

I'm for both. Hahaha!!! Wait until you pick the Walker up. That 1860 is going to seem like a pocket pistol. Hahaha!!! Good thing is that BP guns are fairly cheap, so it's easy to own a bunch.

Fingers, nice! You could be Bill's brother.
