It's here!

Cimarron 1871 cartridge conversion of an 1860 Colt Army. 8" barrel, 1 piece walnut grip. 45 Colt, same as my Big Boy. LOVE IT. Look for a range report tomorrow night. Took some quick photos. Check it out!

More...including the sight view.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is a beauty.

Thanks! Can't wait to send some lead down range....

That's beautiful, and in .45 colt! Congratulations!

All I can say, RR, is WOW! Congrats --- and glad you had the fortitude to hang in to get it finally home!!

Very cool-looking revolver. I especially like the sight picture you showed us. Most of all, that walnut grip is beautiful.
Hope it's a great revolver for you, and that you enjoy it immensely!

That's a very interesting revolver. Good photographs. I'll be looking forward to seeing it in a range report.


I have a feeling it will work it's way into this month's photo contest some how too!

Sweeeeeet!

Thanks all. Range report tonight!

I love the gun .... Did you need a FFL to get the gun since it is a cartridge conversion or is it still a black powder gun and no FFL needed .

Beautiful pistol, RR. Congratulations!

In Canada it's classified as a restricted firearm, meaning lots of restrictions on what you can and can't do. My license has conditions attached so I can transport (in locked case) to my gun club, repair shop, gun show, cop shop and that's about it. No out of Province, but I could transport to the US border if I was cleared to cross for a trade show or match. Not sure what rules you guys have for FFL?

Guys, I appreciate all the comments and advice on makes, models etc over the last few months. I originally looked at Pietta but lots of you steered me to Cimarron-Uberti. I'm pretty happy with my choice and can't wait til tonight to blow some holes in the backboard! Thanks!!

Congrats RR. Nice looking gun

Very nice!

Oh Yeah, That's a keeper !! Glad you got it in hand !! Congrats !!
What is the engraving of ??

The cylinder on the 1860 Army and Navy revolvers was engraved with a naval battle scene symbolizing a battle in the Gulf of Mexico I think I read. Since the 1871 Richards revolvers were built in the Colt factory from excess percussion gun parts in inventory, they had the same engraving.

Fantastic! Long awaited beautiful revolver.

Long awaited is right!! A few hours from now that barrel will be smokin'!
