Some Eye Candy : Cimarron 1860 "McCulloch Colt" Anyone Else?

[Dark Angel]

I believe the fluted cylinder 1860s are the loveliest of the lot, even if they were most likely to fail in use at the time.

Have a 1860s reproduction with the full fluted cylinder. If a gun can be called 'sexy' or perhaps sinuous, this can. Don't know how rare these reproductions are but told someone I had one. Was told it wasn't possible because no one makes a reproduction.

Full Disclaimer - I am not associated with the company in any way just spreading the good news in terms of pricing.

I did order yesterday a nickle Cimarron Engraved 4.75 .357 from them and they shipped in less than 24hrs and were 200-300 less than other sites.

Uberti does a really good job with their antique finish. I have several of them but they're all cartridge guns. Here's a Pietta I antiqued and I can tell you it's a lot easier to buy the factory aged gun.

I have two Fluted Cylinder Colts. One is an Uberti and the other is a Centennial Belgian made version. Unfortunately, Uberti makes theirs with a standard 8 inch barrel. For the most part, original early fluted M1860s had a 7.5 inch barrel. Centennial produced theirs correctly with the 7.5 inch barrel. Here is my Centennial Fluted Model 1860.

Those old colts when new were state of the art pistols. old Sam had a great idea and put it into action. It is still today one of the most graceful pistols ever built!

I just wonder, if those black plastic 9mm's will ever have anything, that remotely complementary, said about them??????

Here's a non antiqued one that was in the shop not too long ago.

The thing to look for on these is the cyl locking notch being right at the flute. Sometimes the tall side of the notch is shorter than the short side of the notch!!

Just simply a thing of beauty!

I agree on the fluted cylinder 1860. I had one imported by Western Arms I wish I still owned along with a Squareback 1851, also Western Arms. Both by Uberti. Big mistake trading them off.

I have to admit, the eye candy shown here is pretty nice. Thanks for sharing and the memories, as painful as they are.

Beautiful Centennial. Only one of those I have seen for sale had a shoulder stock with it.

Wondering if they held up to parrying saber cuts (from what I gather, a SERIOUS WBTS secondary usage) as well as the solid-frame Remingtons?

The fluted cylinder 1860 Army is by far, THE most graceful and beautiful Colt percussion revolver in my humble opinion. I gifted my youngest Son my mid 90's Uberti, with an included shoulder stock for his 30th birthday this past September. The lovely Mrs. Bulls' Eye, sensing my loss, gifted me this new Uberti for Christmas last year.... Such a kind and caring Wife, absolutely stirs one's soul!

You may have just cost me $323 plus tax and shipping.

You truly have a gem of a wife.....I find your flap holster to be exactly like I have been looking for for a 1851 Navy, I have acquired. I may have to copy it for my pleasure! Thanks for sharing!

You're no going to believe this. However my wife did, she knows my gun buying habits.

I checked out the Midwayusa Uberti 1860 fluted that's on sale and thought, "why not". Then I got to thinking I might have bought one at Gunbroker a few years ago, better check first. Sure enough I had one tucked away and it's a Western Arms gun exactly like the model I traded off back in 1983. It has a silver plated trigger guard. Apparently I already cured my loneliness for one.

I'm inspired now to look for a replacement for the 1851 Squareback I traded off.

I guess it's time to get back to shooting my cap and ball revolvers.
