Never mind that. When the hell are you going to buy an 1860 Colt?

[Pudfark]

Well...I've been having some second thoughts on that...
I'm..long term, hard thinking about the discontinued Ruger?

I'm probably, reluctantly, gonna attend one of the Houston Gun Shows...
to get one. Sigh.......

[Buzz]

Bah!! A wannabe gun. Big heavy clunker with no history, or class.

[Pudfark]

True all of that Buzz...
It's built like a brick shit house....

Plus, from what I've read...not that I'm truly interested.
They does have a conversion unit for it...I believe.
.45 Colt......

[Buzz]

So does the Colt.

[Pudfark]

Is the "Colt" conversion...like a "Richardson"?

Maybe...I should of said "Richards"...edit, oopsies

[Buzz]

Why not just buy the gun converted from the factory? They replicate all the models from those days. I thought you wanted a cap & ball?

I think the guns got ugly when they converted them to cartridge.

[Pudfark]

I'd agree...it makes them uglier.
I'm still gonna hold out for a reasonable Ruger.
Though...I would go for an 1860 at a "give away" price..

[Buzz]

You won't find a used Ruger as cheap as a new Colt.

Why do you want a Ruger?

[Pudfark]

The Ruger because...I could, if needed, use something other'n BP.
The belief behind this...it has every outward appearance of being
stronger/sturdier.
