[RJM]

Took a few in on trade today.

Ruger Vaquero, 7.5" barrel .45 colt



AWA Peacemaker, 5.5" barrel .45 colt (this gun is very nice, never been fired).



Here are my non-topstrap colt clones, first on top is my Uberti 1851 .38 special conversion, middle is a Cimmaron 1860 Army in .44 cap and ball, bottom is a Pietta 1851 Navy in .44 cap and ball.

 

[denwego]

A new one to add! Navy conversion in .38Spl:

 

[444marlin]

Here's a Ruger SBH in .44 Magnum

I guess I don't need to post a pic of mine because it is a clone of yours dmazur I love that gun except the time I loaded some hot 300 gr cast performance loads I almost lost my grip on the sbh everytime I touched one off.

 

[gc70]

Ruger Single Six NR4FL

 

[gb6491]

That's a nice Single Six you got there gc70. I really like the lines of the fixed sights version.

Here's my latest, a .45 cal. Vaquero:

I had a New Vaquero on lay-a-way and was in to pick it up when I saw this one in the showcase. I even got money back with it; I love it when a plan comes together

RJM and denwego,
How well do those 38 Spl. conversions shoot? Any load restrictions?

[PO2Hammer]

I am finished complimenting SaxonPig on his Colts. Jealousy has set in.

The manual for my conversion says "the firing of +p ammunition is not recommended beyond occasional use, and could void the warranty on components of the barrel, cylinder, and frame." The metal around the chamber looks as thick as a .38+P spec revolver my wife has, but the open top makes me think that it would be a bad idea. Anything in factory loads of .38Spl and lower (cowboy loads, etc) run just fine in it. Incidentally, the lubricated bullets with many cowboy loads really make a good difference on maximizing the life of a barrel!

Edit - If it's a true conversion from a black powder, I wouldn't use anything more than cowboy to be on the safe side! Gotta make sure!

 

[RJM]

I actually shot some +p stuff through mine with no ill effects, about thirty rounds. I am not using it as a defensive gun so for range shooting I just put regular .38 special stuff through it. These colts will take a decent deal of abuse, the cylinder "spindle rod thingy" is pretty substantial.

Surprisingly accurate for a gun sportin' terrible sights, actually my front sight (brass thingy) flew off a couple of range sessions ago and I lost it. The last couple of times I shot I just aimed down the barrel and it seemed to work fine. I like it.

Nice collection salvo! That Bisley Vaquero is a nice rig; who did the front sight work?

Gordon, that is some very nice stag on your Bisley

SGW42, nice "long Tom" Single Six; I have a JC Higgins badged High Standard Longhorn with a 9" barrel that is a great plinker.

Few of my cowboy irons..

 

[Dr. Fresh]

This is my dad's SAA in .41 Colt. It dates from around the turn of the century. He's never fired it, but it would probably work if ammo was available.

I was bound and determined to buy a single action .22 to plink with this weekend, now that Ive drooled over some of the guns in this thread the past few days I might have to go with something larger heh.
