AWA Peacemaker, 5.5" barrel .45 colt (this gun is very nice, never been fired).
Here are my non-topstrap colt clones, first on top is my Uberti 1851 .38 special conversion, middle is a Cimmaron 1860 Army in .44 cap and ball, bottom is a Pietta 1851 Navy in .44 cap and ball.
I guess I don't need to post a pic of mine because it is a clone of yours dmazur I love that gun except the time I loaded some hot 300 gr cast performance loads I almost lost my grip on the sbh everytime I touched one off.
That's a nice Single Six you got there gc70. I really like the lines of the fixed sights version.
Here's my latest, a .45 cal. Vaquero:
I had a New Vaquero on lay-a-way and was in to pick it up when I saw this one in the showcase. I even got money back with it; I love it when a plan comes together
Regards,

The manual for my conversion says "the firing of +p ammunition is not recommended beyond occasional use, and could void the warranty on components of the barrel, cylinder, and frame." The metal around the chamber looks as thick as a .38+P spec revolver my wife has, but the open top makes me think that it would be a bad idea. Anything in factory loads of .38Spl and lower (cowboy loads, etc) run just fine in it. Incidentally, the lubricated bullets with many cowboy loads really make a good difference on maximizing the life of a barrel!
Edit - If it's a true conversion from a black powder, I wouldn't use anything more than cowboy to be on the safe side! Gotta make sure!
I actually shot some +p stuff through mine with no ill effects, about thirty rounds. I am not using it as a defensive gun so for range shooting I just put regular .38 special stuff through it. These colts will take a decent deal of abuse, the cylinder "spindle rod thingy" is pretty substantial.
Surprisingly accurate for a gun sportin' terrible sights, actually my front sight (brass thingy) flew off a couple of range sessions ago and I lost it. The last couple of times I shot I just aimed down the barrel and it seemed to work fine. I like it.
I was bound and determined to buy a single action .22 to plink with this weekend, now that Ive drooled over some of the guns in this thread the past few days I might have to go with something larger heh.
