<SIGH> It's a real beauty!

And considering ... not really a bad price!

I'd HAVE to shoot it. Yeah ... it's a character flaw, I know.

I've yet to handle a real one. Seen lots of Old Model Armys/Navys, but no '75s.

When my EMF arrived and I picked it up, I thought Whoa ... I'm selling my Colts.

Here's a photo of my 1875. A little bit more wear than the other one but it still shoots fine.
I like to think it has character.

Tubac,

I like it. What caliber?

Tubac · May 19, 2007, 12:12:04 PM

Thanks for the kind words. It's .44/40 (or .44WCF) which according to the Kerr book was first available in 1879. My 1890 is .44/40 also, so they're sort of a pair.
