Be still my heart.....

Many years ago I shot a ladies tuned up SAA in 357 at a shoot. She handed me a 100 rd box of ammo and told me to shoot it up when I asked if I could try it. Way fun. Ive wanted one in 357 ever since. Having an 1873 carbine in 357 has re-ignited the urge.

Anything you want to trade?

...Or let me know if you get tired of them, or one of them.

A pair of the same in 45. I’d trade em for a pair of blue/cch US made USFAs too.

I have an unfired pair of USFA Rodeos and and couple other ones that I shoot some. They’re so good I don’t even consider them clones.

That’s my holy grail if it’s a 45.

That’s my holy grail if it’s a 45.

Indeed, it is.

357 still seems like an odd pairing in a SAA, but it handles well. Shooting 158gr @ 1220fps was not much different than a 250gr at ~750. I’m very impressed!

1860 Army and 1873 SAA clones.

I'm kinda sorta maybe getting the urge for another single action. This isn't helping: State of the Colt cartridge conversion collection

So not mine but I'd learn to load .44 Colt if it was...

I like those quite a lot, my preference would be 44 also, and that length. Im fairly sure most of the Richards type II conversion guns , even those marked 44 Colt, were chambered for 44 spl/russian.

I am sorely tempted by THIS but the sights are practically useless to me. Now to be sure it would be nothing but a fun gun for range use only and I'm much more realistic of my offhand shooting capabilities than when I tried the .38 version 8-10 years ago but I'm still having a hard time talking myself into spending the money...



Blacken the brass grip frame, stock it with some Maple or American Holly (maybe even Resin Ivory) and it sure would look good even if I couldn't shoot it worth a hoot!

Can't remember the model name of this thing but it's made by Cimarron and it's supposed to look like an 1851 Colt Navy but it's actually chambered in .38 Special. A pretty nice shooter.

I just picked up this beauty from my stepfather. He has been selling off a few guns lately and I have wanted a conversion since I shot cowboy action shooting in the 1990’s.

The 1860 Army has always been one of my favorite guns to shoot and just points well for me. Which is a good thing because my eyes don’t se the sights like I could back in my 20’s haha.

I had made this holster as an example of an early loop holster. The best part is now I can shoot an Army Colt and not have to scrub black powder.
