@Jackrabbit1957 finished work on my original 1849 while I was on my handgun/archery/muzzleloader javelina hunt. I had to pass by his place to attend a meeing for a single day and he was gracious enough make it available to pick up. Nothing special as far as work goes. Cut a new halfcock notch, make a bolt block and probably some oher things hat I just don't realize. Its still original without any of the modern upgrades. Nice work.
So I pick up my holster while I'm at home and head back out to the hunting field only to realize I brought the wrong holster. Come to think of it, I might not have a correct holster for this one. Around the gun room I may have been using one that was too short and let the barrel extend out the bottom. Not something I would use while hunting.
I had to go to a memorial service yesterday and pass through Tucson and by my favorite gun shop. I told my wife that I decided to stop in ostensibly to find a holster suitable for he 1849. The only holster that even came close was far too busy with a garish basket weave and heavy stitching. So, no luck on a holster. First question when I come in the door? What did you buy?
That isn't a holster dear! Nope, it's an Uberti 1862 Pocket Police sold by Taylors. Unfired. I've been looking at these for a while now. Just a svelte design and feels perfect in my average to smaller than average sized hands.
I haven't even taken it apart yet so othr than exterior observation and function it appears to be perfect. Short arbor, probably. This one will probably get @Jackrabbit1957 's full works though I will shoot it first.
I'm impressed with the fit and finish. Did Taylors do anything to these pistols after hey received hem from Uberti or did they have higher quality specifications on Uberti above what one could buy say from Dixie? I didn't get a great price compared to what is currently being sold at Dixie (when in stock). I paid $325 or just under what Dixie is selling them for. Taylor's sells them for $435. Does one 'get' anything from a Taylor's pistol for the exra amount?
