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.

'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.

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.

Very nice (again)!

Does the '51 get to feeling left out?  :)

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

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

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.

I suppose the Parkerized 1872 pics belong here, too.

*sigh*  Why ever were public whippings outlawed?   :P







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...
