Although an H011 brass Original is on my bucket list.
Ya, the problem is $3k buys a lot of hay. Even the Cimarron 1860 is $2k by the time it gets here. Ouch.

Just watched and interesting video by Hickock45 on these old conversion revolvers. Cool history. Can't wait to get mine, maybe by Oct 1st. Registration and transfer papers take a while. Jeez Canada, lighten up already on the gun laws!!!

Every gun is accurate when Hickok is shooting it. :)

When he misses now and then, he usually jokingly blames it on his equipment.

That would be great but I think you have to get licensed or permitted or something here. My local gun range is 10 minutes from home so it's no big deal to go there. Open year round, dawn to dark.

Well with a little luck, I'll pick up my new revolver on October 3rd! I passed my tests on June 12th!! Holy smokes, I could have built one faster. Feels like I've been waiting for my 1860 since 1860. Anyhow, range report pending, please standby.

Looks like Monday is new revolver day! Finally!! Talked to the Cimarron guy this morning and all the paperwork is complete. He's gone to a gun show next few days so looks like Monday is it.
