Does anyone besides Cimarron make one?  I'm looking for a 3 screw frame NOT cut for a stock, standard blue, CCH, brass finish, 8" barrel.

Black powder shooting is like holding history in your hands.

Thanks, Jay Dub, but those are all those butt ugly four scrrew models with the recoil shield all chopped up to take a stock.

I just hate the looks of those.

Sometimes things work out strange.  I was griping to a friend about this last night.  He stood up, walked out to the garage, and came back with a new in the box, unfired 1860 civilian model by Westerner Arms.  I had one in 1969-70 by them.  Never heard of them again.

He dropped it in my lap and said "You owe me a hundred an' fifty bucks."

Best action I ever felt on a percussion revolver, and I used to sell them for abour 12 years.

Wanna know the best part?  He has a mate to it, nineteen digits difference in the serial numbers.  He's hesitant about selling the second one, but I'll wear him down.

He aslo has a pair of square back 1851 Navy's by Lyman...thinking about that, too.

Life is good.
