The Color case look and the brass trigger guard, it is beautiful. Dies it shoot as good as it looks?

JUST GOT IT YESTERDAY. GOT AN 8" STAINLESS SUNDAY AND BOTH WILL BE PAIRED UP WITH ANOTHER ONE OF EACH BY THE END OF THE WEEK. IN 60+ YEARS OF SHOOTING ITALIAN GUNS I HAVE NEVER FOUND ONE OF THE SEVERAL HUNDRED I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHICH WOULD NOT SHOOT.

they call the 5.5" model a "Sheriff" model? Sort of like a short, ejector lacking SA is a "Storekeeper"?

The color case hardening is a plus! Looking for a second one. Also considering getting one of the cartridge conversions in 45 Colt. Any thoughts on the conversion cylinders?

I like the Colts but have a secret partiality to the 1858. That is a peach! I'd love to heft it and feel what that short barrel does to the balance. I'm used to the old 8" barrel military model.

They are fine handguns even today. I have to call Gary and pay for my little conversion job he did a week or two ago. I had forgotten about it!

One of my other favorites is the 1861 Navy with full fluted cylinders. I need to find one before they disappear for another 130 yrs.

Not Scotty, but between the Octagon barrel

IT WILL...THEY ALWAYS DO BUT

I guess generically in the C&B circles

Feel good in the hand and shoot well.

That's about the prettiest C&B I've ever seen!

What is it Sir? Thank you.
