The beautiful 1851 Navy, and pics

[Stacey Lee]

Howdee !
Undesputable mostly, that the 1851 Navy in 36. Cal.  is one of the finest , shootin-est , and lookin-est pistols ever created, dreamed up , and  or fabricated, period.
Samuel Colt was a genius in my humble opinion, and left us fans of the 1851 Navy in .36 Cal. a legacy that we ought to be quite proud of and even brag about.
Here is my hats off to Sam Colt and also to anyone like my self that loves the 1851 !
Pour him and you and me a tall warm one of Jim Beam since I don't drink anymore, and honor the man and yourself for being loyal , proud , and true to the 1851 Navy and the ownership of this fine weapon .....

Here are my Piettas from Cabelas, slightly customized with real Colt Medallion inlays by me , a girl, in the grips. Ha ha ha !!!
Cheerios and fruitloops too !

Howdy All,

Stacy Lee, I saw your posts about your Remmie "Old Silver", sure is a purdy six-shooter !

I was lookin' at another, different "Old Silver"...

I know the caliber is not technically "correct" but Pietta makes the 1851 style in .44 caliber. Cabela's and a bunch of other folks like my local Bass Pro has 'em under the "Traditions" brand. There's a photo engraved 5 inch barrel "US Marshall" model and a non-engraved full-length barrel "Old Silver" 1851. The price is really attractive for the later, I thought the "US Marshall" looked a little gaudy. The metal is polished steel described as "similar to stainless and will not rust" on a couple of websites.

Anybody have any experiance with these Piettas ? The "Old Silver" is a good hundred dollars less than the stainless Remmie at my local Bass Pro !

I wish Pietta would make a stainless 1860 but for now this "OLD Silver" 1851 might be just the thing !

I got me one of them on order, let y'all know what I think once she lands on my porch !

Happy Trails,

Cincinnati Slim
