Hey,
I would like to get a bit of advice/take a poll. Kansas City has a Cabelas here now. I set a personal goal of losing 25 lbs before I allowed myself to go out and shop. I am 5 lbs off. My wife has given me a gift certificate for Cabelas, more than enough to get another C&B revolver(No she doesn't have a sister). I have an 1860 army, a 1851 in .44 and a brass framed Remminton. I am not sure what to get next. I know, I probably won't get much sympathy for my problem. I am leaning towards a remmington with a couple of spare cylinders, but dang if Cabelas doesn't have a 1851, .36 with some engraving and a simulated ivory grip, ala Wild Bill. I have always loved the 1851, and in my early inexperience bought a .44 rather than the historical .36. I was hopeing to see what you all prefer.

Pick whatever feels good in your hand but just don't buy a brass framed "anything" for regular shooting. I have Remington and Colt replicas and both are fun to shoot.

You've got the middle of the road covered. Get a horse pistol, 3rd Model Dragoon, or go the other way and get a 49 pocket.

1860

Ithink I heard the answer in your question. Go with Wild Bill and get the engraved and plated Navy 36!

Yeah, I agree. It sounds like you'll be vaguely disappointed if you end up with anything else. Get what you want and enjoy, the rest of us don't really matter on this one, now, do we?

Try an 1861 Navy Colt. They are slightly more naturally pointable than a '51, and with the bladed front sight, some of the shooting way too high appears to be taken care of.
