Picked Up Another Colt 1877 Thunderer

Rube Burrows · March 14, 2025, 09:16:47 AM

Growing up in the 80s-90s Young Guns was among my favorite westerns and that gave me a real affection for the Colt 1877.

Several years ago I bought my first 1877 and in my excitement at finally finding one locally I failed to notice that it was the shorter barrel with no ejection rod. While the gun was a very pretty nickel I just never really cared for the shorter barrel and no ejector so I ended up trading it or selling it.

Well, I have really been having a hankering for one that was more to my liking. I finally found one that picked it up a couple days ago. I am more than happy with what I have now.

Total agrrrreeee with Coffinmaker.

That is so nice looking no matter what was done to it, it is a Colt and looks beautiful, now.

So! that is what the 41 Colt tool is for.

So that's why you sold the Schofields?

Wow, blued models are rare! I don't know if that was refinished but who cares, it looks great!

Ah Yes, Most Forgot

Back some Lustrum or so, twas a Movie (Believe twas Sherlock Holmes) and this really nice looking CRAZY lady stepped out with a Nickel seven and a half inch, 1877 in each hand, firing away. I seriously lusted for those two guns.

Looks very nice! I would provide a range report ASAP!
