Hi all, I'm new to these forums and firearms in general.
Fathers day is coming up and I though a good gift for him would be a nice pistol. However with all the trouble you have to go through to get licensed for a semi or modern revolver, I opted to go the cap and ball route. Living in NYC (they are legal here) he probably wont get to shoot it much, but I still want to get him one that will be able to perform as well as be a good wall hanger.
What I have decided on is a 1858 Remington in .44 cal.
Which would you guys suggest? Uberti or Euroarms. I heard Euroarms were so far the best.
Also i heard talk that some of the replicas have an undersized or oversized frame. What's up with that? I would like to get one with the proper proportions.
Thanks for any help guys.
