I've decided I want an Uberti 1860 Army. Preferably the civilian version, not cut for the stock.
Problem is, nobody has them. Well, almost nobody - I did find one, but it's the brass-backstrap version. I'd prefer steel.
I could buy that, and swap the backstraps...except nobody has the backstrap as a part, either (Taylor's says they've had them on order...since 2005).
Further, also according to Taylor's, the civilian versions are no longer on Uberti's North American price list - so there won't be any more, for the forseeable future at least.
So - I can either get the brass-strap version, or wait for a mil version.
My objection to the mil version is...it sure looks like the locating screwheads are exactly where one's trigger finger (and maybe thumb) would want to rest.
Thoughts?
