What, no one has a Remmie snub? those Colts do look plenty sweet, though.

Those are absolutely beautiful! Really, really good job. I love the "working" but not quite antique look. I think I'm going to start saving some money...Maybe there will be a Remington (and another 1860) to add to this thread!

I've got a Remmie snubbie.
Took an Uberti Millenium 44cal. 1858 remmie,
1. cut the barrel to 3inches, (Scary Hacksaw moment
)
2.added a Kirst spring loaded cylinder pin catch,
3.Replaced the front sight,
4.recrowned the barrel
5.Added an R&D 45colt cylinder
came out nice!!!
Been thinking of rounding off the back of the grip to give it a bulldog look.
Recoil is mild, and its very fun to shoot.

I am liking the pair of Colt Avenging Angles. Excellent work!!
I personally would have one with the navy grips for a more compact look.

Regarding Norman Rockwell.
An interesting squib I read at one time claims that the Heavy, wool great-coat he wore could stop a 36 round ball.

I have this one coming, I have wanted a snubby for a long time!
One thing that hasn't been mentioned...
If you are working with a Colt platform you can make a snubby for less money if you already have a gun. Simply buy a barrel made by the same manufacturer and cut it down. Some fitting may be required, but in the end you'll have both configurations for less money.
Incidentally, during the 19th century the Colt Company did make some 2-barrel sets on special order, so the idea isn't new.

I can only imagine what the cost of an original 2 barrel set by Colt would be now. Can't
say I have ever seen an original Colt snubby barrel for a precussion revolver.

Now that is nice. So what all was it made from?

That IS nice. I like those checkered bird's head grips.
What's the cutout on the bottom of the recoil shield for?
I'm thinking about getting a BH grip and extra barrel for my Pietta 51 navy.
I also would like to make one from a Pietta "62 police".
I think an Uberti 62 pocket popo would look sweet with BH grip and a 2.5-3 inch barrel.
Hmm, pocket Remington NA .44? I may need to buy another one from Cabelas and chop and BH it.
IIRC, I have a Pietta 60 army/.44 51 navy frame and cylinder I could use to build one.
How 'bout an Avenging Howdah or an Avenging Lemat?
Maybe a Walker's Angel or a Ruger Old Angel.

Jaymo,
That recoil shield cut out, along with the forth screw, is for the attachment of a shoulder stock when using the full size grip frame with a notch on the bottom.
