I was thinking maybe the shoulder holster  :P

As soon as I do the coil spring conversion on the hand.

I have two Second Generation First Model Dragoons and I love them. I got them several years apart but the serial numbers are not that far apart. I plan on having one piece ivory grips put on them eventually.

Hey Kurt.  I'm guessing you're saying you have 13 of the 14 standard models; or do you mean the 60+ that includes all the limited editions.  You're right about never having too many.  I'm always on the lookout for one to fill my collection

Nice collection.  I have a pair of 1851s and 1861s that I use in CAS.  The '51s I used from about 2004 to 2007 when I started using a pair of '61s.  They all have a few thousand rounds through them.

No.  All the second Gens are 4 screw frames with the shoulder stock cuts.

I started collecting 2nd gen Colts in 2017 .
I now have a 1860 Army
I have a 1848 Dragoon
I have a 1851 Navy
And all the rest of my Cap guns are
Pietta and Uberti .

All through I did just pick up a Unfired 1971 Uberti 1861 In the Display box with
The Flask ,Primers,Bullet Mold and Wrench and with a Butt Stock .
Thank you Fingers Mcgee on helping Me  figuring out   what it was .
