Hello, I'm new here and am trying to make up my mind about what revolver to get as my first. I've been looking at Cabela's (can't beat their prices) and can't decide between the 1851 and the 1858 in .44 cal. I really like the look and feel of the 1851 but the 1858 just looks more robust and easier to clean to me.
Can anyone recommend one of these to be more idiot proof? Which one will survive a chain fire better? Which one will wear better?
I do know that I'll be getting the brass frame of whichever I get, it's not as strong but I just like the brass.
I may, in future, get into cowboy shooting and will probably get the other gun as my second. The question is which to get first considering that if I don't do the cowboy thing then it may also be the only one I get.
Thanks
Bill
