Ok, love my 1851. Still can't get over the price I paid for it. Now I am in a bit of a quandary, I want to upgrade, already
Was thinking of going with the Remmy reproductions for the top strap and easy cylinder swap but I am really drawn to the 1860s.
What I am looking for input on is which should I go for? Uberti or Pietta?
Is the Uberti really worth almost double the price of the Pietta? My 1851 Pietta is great, as far as I can tell, but have never fired another capnball revolver for comparison. If I go with the Pietta can I use the cylinder from my 1851 in the 1860? If I can swap between the two different Pietta revolvers, can I use the Pietta 1851 cylinder in the Uberti 1860?
Thanks folks!
Merry Christmas!
