maybe a 1858 or 1860?
Ah, but remember...beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
In a word, yes.so the 1860 is a colt reproduction and the 1858 is a rem. repro. correct?
The starter kits are generally not the least expensive way to acquire accessories; purchasing just what you need separately is usually a better idea.When I buy one should I get the starter kit or buy what I need seperately?
There is an ongoing debate about that impression. Both are great designs and have endured for over a hundred years. Treat them like you should and either will last longer than you will be alive. Abuse them and neither will last long.I am leaning more toward the 1860 but the 1858 looks more sturdy built.
Jaymo,I've never liked the looks of the 1860 Colt. I like all the others, but not that one.
