OFFICIAL Open Top (1871/72) Thread (post pictures here)

[RRio]

This is what "Sandy Claus"  (Santa's wife) brought me for Christmas.

Taylor's and Co., Uberti 1871 Open Top, 4 3/4" barrel in .45 LC.  I'm really liking Open Tops.

   Ok RRio.... Love the open top got one myself but what is that beautiful lady above it. That shines too my man.

'61 Navy (Pietta) with a .38 Special cartridge conversion done on it. I found her in a pawn shop, paid $99 for her. and took her home with me. She is one of my favorites.

New guy and new Open Top. Just a standard setup in .38spl.

[Justician]

But a very nice setup. Enjoy!

[Seth Hawkins]

Sweet!

Photo Bucket SUCKS !

[Graveyard Jack]

Mine has since been fitted with one-piece ivory but has yet to star in its own photo shoot.





Only decent pic with the real thing. The TruIvory is now on the 1860 Type II.

[Abilene]

Very nice (again)!

Does the '51 get to feeling left out? 

[Graveyard Jack]

I just got it about three months ago and it hasn't even been fired yet. So it's probably feeling very neglected.

Here are my Open Tops...

[Wallace Foster]

I guess I joined another club, here is by 71 in 38 so it will be a softy to shoot 

[Abilene]

Wallace, the grips look nice.  Did you refinish them?

[Wallace Foster]

Nope, I just got this three days ago and I am chomping at the bit to go shoot but our range is still snowed in but it's melting fast.

Howdy Fellas! I'm new around these parts, but I've been admiring everyone's 71/72's for a while. Since I just joined up, I thought I'd show you mine. These are my all-time favorite revolvers. Mine are in .45 Colt and I use black powder in them. They get shot on a regular basis.

My new 7.5" .44 Russian/Colt/Special Cimarron 1872 Open Top, with River Junction belt and Texas Jack 1860/1872 Slim Jim holster.

[Tuolumne Lawman]

I suppose the Parkerized 1872 pics belong here, too.

[Drydock]

*sigh*  Why ever were public whippings outlawed?   







The more I look, the madder I get.  Look at the Stampings, the patent dates.  How bad could it have been!  A light buff, some blue, nickle plate the damn thing, ANYTHING would have been better than this!  Doug Turnbull could have worked magic with it!

I believe that a basic tenant of working with antique guns is "Primum non nocere" (First, do no harm).  I agree that a flogging is in order...
