    Decided to order a Cimarron, Uberti made 1851 Colt Cartridge Conversion in .38spl. I have always liked the look of the early Colt cap and ball guns and have wanted a conversion for a while. I finally settled on the 51 since its a gun I am very familiar with already since I have the bp versions.

    Anyways, I figured I would share.

    good looking gun. ive always wanted a .45lc/C&B convertible from them.

    I struggled for a while with what I wanted. Most of my cowboy guns are .45 Colt and its one of my favorite calibers but I really like the 1851 Navy and it only comes in .38spl at this time. I kicked around the idea of getting a 60 Army or 71/72 Open Top so I could get it in .45 but ended up just going with .38 so I could get the 51.

    The last 7 or 8 years that I actively shot in SASS I used a pair of 1872 Open tops in .38. With blackpowder loads. Elegant guns.
