The Devil Made Me do it!

I bought this one:  Made in Texas

Available crossdraw, too.

I am stricken, so based on Roger's (Major 2) recommendation, as well as a few others, I got ahold of Gary "Hoof Hearted" Barnes at "Cartridge Conversions" http://www.cartridgeconversion.com/. After the Railroad Flat Shoot out in May, I am sending the 1860 Thunderer to him to fit and channel it for a Kirst Konverter (which I am also buying from him).  The R&D is great, but the little guy is a keeper, and I want it gated.  I am doing a future Cowboy Chronicle article on him and his gun work, so he will lend me one of his Thuer Conversions to include with the Kist.  The Thuer REALLY intrigues me!

This is the cut off and custom Remington 1858 that I had made.  A local gunsmith did it for me.

The holster on the left was a Cabelas 1858 Remington/1860 Colt full size holster that I cut down and sewed.  The one on the right is a belt clip holster that fits the Remington and should fit the snubnose colt.

PS How do you post such large photos?

I use the Image link in Photobucket.  Most photos I upload are high res.

Wow, here's a gunbroker listing of the same gun, WITH an R&D for $329 current bid (5 days left). Good buy, as I have $350 and $220 (plus shipping on both) on mine!

Bid on it, then you can have 2

I was tempted but the Kirst and channeling/fitting on my 1860 is $400.

My Pietta 1860 snubbie from Taylor's arrived today.    What a sweet piece.    Color case frame is beautiful and the checkered grips superb.  Have not had a chance to see how my conversion cylinder fits.  It was shipped to my shop and I'm on my Harley, so it will have to wait till tomorrow.  Obviously, looks just like the ones in your picture.

The Devil sure gets around.

I think Taylor's is the only one importing it with he Thunderer grip. I have seen some others with the rounded back birdshead but not with the Thunderer with the hump. You can I'll love it when you shoot it😁😁😁😀

Like a kid in a candy shop.    Pietta snubbie from Taylor's fits the holster perfectly and the engraved 45lc conversion cylinder fits perfectly.  Now I gotta go out and shoot it.

Life is good.
