Cimarron 1851 Colt Navy in .38 Special

Thanks to a member on these forums I just paid for one like this:

Cimarron 1851 Colt Navy except chambered in .38 Special

Go nice with my Civil War era 1851 Colt Navy no?

Chambered in .38 Special which is nice. Lot easier to get than .38LC Uberti conversions! Wasn't "cheap" like an Uberti but I think well worth it!

Looks like it will be a nice toy!

Looks like it will be a nice toy!

I believe so! Already picked up a couple boxes of ammo for it

Very nice addition

Took this thing out the other day. Holy HELL is it accurate. I love it!

The .38 Spl can be an exceptionally accurate ctg.

Very nice revolver, though!

The Cimarron guns are made at the Uberti factory to Cimarron's specifications so they differ from the usual production.
I bought a new Uberti 1851 cap and ball in 2010 and after tax it was just shy of $600,00 so it wasn't "cheap" but it has really nice grips.

The Uberti at the top and an 1849 Pocket Colt (DOM: 1861)

What caps are you using and where did you get them ?

Nice. I was hedging between this model and the Richards-Mason 1851. In the end I ordered the R-M, just because I wanted something more historically correct rather than a cap n ball-a-like. No offense at all - yours is a lovely looking gun, and I would have bought the same in a heartbeat too had I found one used for a good price.
