I've been recently considering a 1851 Colt Navy. One of them manufactured by Uberti. http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/hand-gun ... l-412.html or https://www.cimarron-firearms.com/cimar ... -2-in.html
Looks like the same price at either shop.

Re: Colt 1847 Walker
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they are both made by Uberti and are likely the same firearm, just a different importer. I'm sure you'll enjoy either of them.DAVIDF wrote:I've been recently considering a 1851 Colt Navy.

Yes, they are both Uberti models. The Pietta manufactured 1851 is even cheaper at $257. From people who own them, they are not finished as nicely as the Uberti, but work fine with the exceptions of caps blowing off the nipples and locking up the action. Apparently an easy fix by changing to a different nipple. Haven't heard that being as much an issue with the Uberti, but don't know enough about them yet. http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/hand-gun ... steel.htmlCT_Shooter wrote:I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they are both made by Uberti and are likely the same firearm, just a different importer.

Re: Colt 1847 Walker
The 2 Ubertis I own are top notch quality, fit and finish. Shooters too. I looked very closely at Pietta revolvers before I purchased my Uberti. I had a chance at a gun show to handle both and compare. The Pietta was ok too but the action was a little clunkier and the fit was not quite as fine as the Uberti. I was comparing the Pietta 45 colt peacemaker with the Uberti 45 colt Model P peacemaker. I ended up with a Cimarron Uberti 1871 Richards open top.
