Which is the better 1860 Army; the Colt Blackpowder series or the Colt signature series?
Thanks for your input!

Thanks Mike.The original one! The two mentioned are lesser copies of the original. For instance:
> The original had a correctly configured bolt (thin left arm) the copies (mentioned) don't.
> The combination spring was correct in the originals, made opposite in the copies
> The copies have short arbors, the originals didn't.
Just that alone is enough to be a vast difference from an excellent revolver (made as designed) compared to a couple of copies apparently meant for collecting.
Of course, this is just my opinion . . .

I’m not Mike butThanks Mike.
Since an original is not a financial option for me ( even with money from my rich Uncle Donald! ) what about the quality of the “made in Belgium” 1860 Army copy? Thanks.
But that loading lever!! *Egads!* and the backstrap!! Double *Egads!*For guns made in the last several years since Pietta got their quality out of the gutter, I would rate them about equal.
