Did they just bore out the 1851 barrel, or is it a larger

diameter? Don't know why all of a sudden these popped up in my mind, but I've never had the chance to compare them side by side. I really like the look of the 1851 and there's a lot to be said for the 36 Colt. It was enough gun for William Hickok to take out Davis Tutt at 75 yards. Both my cap and ball sixguns are in 44 though. That doesn't keep me from eyeing what's on the market. :-D

  - So basically, it's an 1860 with octagonal barrel? (nt) - Paul, 2023-01-11, 09:49
